Complete guide: HORNET CLEANING FOAM 220ML
A professional cleaning foam designed for tattooing sessions, formulated with honey extract to gently cleanse the skin during and after work. It binds impurities and removes excess Vaseline, butter, or ink without wiping off the stencil, keeping the guide lines visible throughout the session. At the same time, it moisturizes and soothes the skin, reducing redness, which helps you see the actual ink color more clearly. It is useful both for tattoo artists in the studio and for the gentle cleaning of fresh tattoos.
How to use
- Prepare a hygienic work station: wear disposable gloves and have clean paper towels on hand; if the bottle sits in the work area, protect it with barrier film.
- Dispense a small amount of foam directly onto the work area or onto a paper towel — the foam consistency spreads easily, and a small amount covers a large skin surface.
- Gently wipe the skin with the paper towel, without aggressive scrubbing; the foam binds excess ink, Vaseline, and impurities, and the stencil remains intact.
- Repeat cleaning as needed throughout the session to maintain visibility of the worked area and client comfort.
- At the end of the work, clean the finished tattoo with foam before applying aftercare product and final protection.
- For aftercare, you can use the foam for gentle cleaning of the fresh tattoo, followed by a dedicated aftercare product for extra hydration.
Tips from us
- Do not overuse the amount: the product is effective in small doses, and the 220 ml format gives you very good autonomy in the studio.
- Always wipe by dabbing or with gentle movements, not by scrubbing — the skin traumatized by needles is sensitive, and the goal is cleaning, not further irritation.
- Use the redness-reducing property to your advantage: calmer skin allows you to more accurately assess color saturation during the work.
- You can integrate the foam into the workflow alongside other products from the Hornet range (Honey Soap, Butter, Tattoo Care Cream), which are formulated to work together.
- For clients with reactive skin, test on a small area first and observe the reaction before using the product on the entire worked surface.
Warning: For external use only — avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Always work with disposable gloves and do not touch the bottle nozzle to the worked skin or used towels, to avoid contaminating the contents; use barrier film on the bottle in the work area. The product contains honey extract, so advise caution for clients with known allergies to bee products. If irritation, unusual stinging, or rashes occur, discontinue use. Keep the bottle closed, away from sources of contamination in the studio.
