Results & Benefits

What makes Inked Yeti effective?

Our balm is packed with ultra-nourishing, antioxidant-rich butters and oils that keep healed tattoos looking smooth, hydrated, and vibrant. Shea, mango, and cocoa butters deeply condition and soften skin, while sunflower, soybean, coconut, and jojoba oils deliver lightweight moisture that absorbs beautifully. These ingredients work together to support healthy-looking skin and enhance the appearance of your tattoos — without a greasy residue or unnecessary additives.

What kind of results will I see?

Designed to leave tattoos looking a little bolder, a little smoother, and a lot more loved. Inked Yeti is designed to help maintain skin that looks hydrated and healthy, allowing your ink’s natural vibrancy to show through. With regular use, tattoos can appear more vibrant and skin feels soft and comfortable — without a greasy finish.

Does Inked Yeti tattoo balm work on new and old tattoos?

Definitely — Inked Yeti is made for healed tattoos, whether your ink is a few weeks old or a couple of decades deep.

Once your tattoo has fully closed and peeled, our clean, thoughtfully formulated balm helps keep skin feeling hydrated and smooth, allowing your tattoo’s natural vibrancy to show through.

It brings out the depth and color in newer tattoos and helps older ink look refreshed and defined.

What tattoos and skin tones does Inked Yeti work on?

Yours. And everyone else’s. Inked Yeti doesn’t play favorites — it keeps every kind of ink looking bold and smooth, no matter the color of your tattoo or your skin. Blackwork, watercolor, color bomb — we’ve got you (literally) covered.

Formula

What makes Inked Yeti different than other tattoo aftercare?

Inked Yeti was created by people who care about what goes on your skin. Our balm is thoughtfully formulated with clean ingredients and a gentle fragrance, designed to keep skin feeling hydrated and comfortable — not heavy or greasy. No unnecessary additives, just straightforward tattoo care for everyday use.

Is your fragrance clean?

Yes! Our Coconut Lemon scent is made with a clean synthetic fragrance that meets Sephora Clean and Prop 65 standards. It’s free from parabens, phthalates, PFAS, and other harsh additives.

When we started developing Inked Yeti, we wanted to use essential oils — but we quickly learned their scent doesn’t last, and many “essential oils” listed by other brands don’t actually exist. We decided to be transparent and work directly with a trusted fragrance house to create a custom scent that’s safe for skin, long-lasting, and free of harmful chemicals. The result is a bright, balanced Coconut Lemon blend you can feel good about using every day.

Applying & Storing Your Balm

How do I use Inked Yeti balm?

Scoop a little balm with your fingers and warm it between your hands — it melts easily. Massage it onto clean, healed tattoos until absorbed. A small amount is all you need for soft, healthy-looking skin and tattoos that stand out. The coconut oil may feel slightly greasy at first but absorbs within a few minutes, leaving a smooth, hydrated finish. Use daily for best results.

What do I do if my balm is runny or grainy?

If it’s runny:

Our balm contains coconut oil, which naturally softens in warm temperatures. If it gets a little too melty, just pop it in the fridge to help it firm back up. It won’t affect performance or quality—just texture.

If it’s grainy:

Because our balm uses shea butter, you might notice a slightly grainy texture when temperatures fluctuate. That’s called “blooming,” and it’s completely normal. The tiny grains will dissolve as soon as you rub the balm into your skin, leaving it smooth and silky.

Tip:

To keep your balm at its best, store it in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperature swings.
