What is Hustle Butter
Hustle Butter is the brand name for a line of products dedicated to helping tattoo collectors and artists keep their ink in pristine condition. Hustle Butter products all address a common need related to tattoos: use while healing to clean and soothe skin, and preserve or restore the lustrous glow of new and old ink.
How did we get our start?
Back in the 80s, there was no fame or fortune in tattoos. The best artists rarely got the attention they deserved—even in our tight knit little community—so we devoted our lives to finding and celebrating their craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hustle Butter safe to use on broken skin during the first days of tattoo healing?
Yes. The formula is specifically engineered and tested as safe for application on broken, freshly tattooed skin, which is the most sensitive healing phase.
Does the vegan, petroleum-free formula mean fewer allergic reactions?
For most users, yes. Removing petroleum, parabens, and synthetic fragrance dramatically reduces the most common irritants found in conventional tattoo aftercare.
Is the Fragrance-Free variant safer for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
Yes. Removing added fragrance eliminates one of the leading causes of contact dermatitis, making it the safest pick for reactive skin, eczema, or scent sensitivities.
Is this product cruelty-free and certified by a third party?
Yes. Hustle Butter is certified cruelty-free and has maintained that commitment since the brand launched in 2011, giving ingredient-conscious buyers verifiable peace of mind.
Can my tattoo artist safely use this as a glide during the inking session?
Yes. It is a dual-purpose product: artists use it as a smooth, non-irritating glide during tattooing, and clients continue using it at home during the healing window.
Is this safe around kids and pets in my household?
Yes. There are no harsh fumes, no open flame, and no petroleum distillates, so it is safe to apply and store in any family bathroom or bedroom nightstand.
If I have a nut allergy, is this product still safe?
It contains shea (a tree nut derivative) and coconut oil, so anyone with tree nut allergies should consult their allergist before use, even though the formula is otherwise clean.
How does Hustle Butter compare to using Aquaphor or petroleum jelly for safety?
Hustle Butter is petroleum-free and vegan, while Aquaphor is petrolatum-based. For buyers avoiding petroleum byproducts, Hustle Butter is the cleaner, safer-feeling alternative.
Is this safer than natural butters I could buy at a health food store?
Yes. Raw shea or coconut oil from a jar is not formulated for broken skin or tattoo-specific healing. Hustle Butter is balanced for safe absorption, glide, and barrier protection.
Is Hustle Butter better than DIY tattoo aftercare with coconut oil from my kitchen?
Yes. Kitchen coconut oil can harbor bacteria and clog pores on fresh ink. Hustle Butter is manufactured in a controlled facility with ingredients chosen for safe tattoo recovery.
Will the jar stay hygienic over months of repeated use?
Yes. The wide-mouth jar allows clean fingertip application, and the stable, naturally derived formula resists bacterial growth better than water-heavy lotions.
If my tattoo gets infected, will this product treat it?
No. Hustle Butter is a maintenance and healing-support balm, not a medicine. If you see signs of infection, stop use and consult a medical professional immediately.
I'm worried about long-term chemical exposure. Is this clean enough for daily use?
Yes. The formula is built on naturally derived butters and green tea extract, free of petroleum, parabens, and synthetic fragrance, so daily long-term use aligns with clean-beauty standards.
Is Hustle Butter recommended by dermatologists?
Many dermatologists and tattoo professionals recommend petroleum-free, fragrance-free options like the Fragrance-Free Hustle Butter variant for sensitive or compromised skin.
Why do tattoo studios trust this over generic lotions?
It has been an artist-recommended brand since 2011, used in studios worldwide because it performs as both a glide during sessions and a safe aftercare product at home.
I'm hesitant to switch from my current aftercare. What's the real safety upgrade?
The upgrade is the absence of petroleum, parabens, and synthetic fragrance, combined with a 10+ year safety track record in professional tattoo studios.
How do I use Hustle Butter during the tattoo healing process?
Wash your hands, gently clean the tattooed area with mild soap, pat dry, then apply a thin layer of Hustle Butter 2-3 times daily for the first 2-4 weeks, avoiding oversaturation.
Can I use Hustle Butter as a tattoo glide during the inking session?
Yes. Many professional artists use Hustle Butter as a glide during tattooing because it reduces friction and keeps the skin workable without irritation.
How do I use Hustle Butter on older, healed tattoos?
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin once or twice daily as a regular moisturizer to maintain color vibrancy and softness in older ink.
Is the 1oz size TSA-compliant for air travel?
Yes. The 1oz jar meets the TSA 3-1-1 liquid rule for carry-on luggage, making it ideal for travel and gym bags.
Can I use Hustle Butter on skin that is not tattooed?
Yes. The vegan, petroleum-free formula works as a general body moisturizer, so it is safe and effective on non-tattooed skin as well.
What comes in the box when I order a jar or 3-pack?
You will receive the Hustle Butter jar(s) in protective packaging. The product is ready to use immediately with no additional accessories or setup required.
Is this product safe if I have sensitive skin or eczema?
Yes. The Fragrance-Free variant is free of added scents and is formulated without petroleum or parabens, making it suitable for most sensitive skin types.
Will this product clog my pores or cause acne on freshly tattooed skin?
No. The plant-based butters absorb cleanly and are designed to moisturize without clogging pores, which is especially important during tattoo healing.
What is the difference between Hustle Butter and regular body lotion?
Hustle Butter is specifically formulated for tattoo skin, with shea butter, mango seed butter, coconut oil, and green tea extract, while regular lotions contain water and fillers not designed for healing ink.
How is Hustle Butter different from Aquaphor or petroleum jelly?
Aquaphor and petroleum jelly are petrolatum-based occlusives, while Hustle Butter is 100% vegan, petroleum-free, and built on naturally derived butters with added skincare benefits.
How is Hustle Butter different from raw coconut oil or shea butter?
Raw kitchen butters are not balanced for tattoo skin and can clog pores or harbor bacteria. Hustle Butter is a tested, balanced formula engineered specifically for safe tattoo healing.
