What should a tattoo artist use to clean the skin before and after a tattoo?

In many instances a good wipe down of medical grade green soap before and after the tattoo is the standard for many artists. The artist will apply the soap solution to the skin before he or she shaves the area to be tattooed and will be wiping it a lot throughout the tattoo with the same solution. After the tattoo is complete, the area will be thoroughly cleaned with the green soap and will then be wrapped in a sterile dressing.
