Stop! Don’t Toss Those Yorker Caps – Here’s Why PMU Artists Should Keep Them

If you’re unboxing a fresh Aqua® or Velvet® pigment and about to throw out the little plastic Yorker cap it came with—wait just a sec. That tiny cap? It’s way more powerful than it looks.

Whether you're new to the permanent makeup game or a seasoned pro, keeping your workspace clean and your pigment bottles mess-free is essential. And that’s exactly why Yorker caps are included with nearly every bottle we ship from the Girlz Ink Store.


What Is a Yorker Cap and Why Should You Care?

Yorker caps are those cone-shaped twist tops that help dispense pigment with precision. When used properly, they prevent:

Drips and over-pouring

Pigment buildup and crusting

Unnecessary mess on your tray or hands

So if you’ve ever found your pigment bottle sticky, dried-out at the nozzle, or leaking into your setup—this is your solution.


Reusable + Practical = PMU Artist’s Best Friend

You might think these caps are disposable, but they’re not! Yorker caps are durable and designed to be used throughout your pigment's entire shelf life.
All you need to do is keep them clean and dry when not in use, and they’ll stay good as new.

💡Pro Tip: Rotate between a few caps to make cleaning easier during back-to-back appointments.

🩷 Cleaner tray setups

🩷 Less pigment waste

🩷 Faster, more controlled dispensing

🩷 A better artist experience, every single time

Keep them. Use them. Love them. And if you don’t need them now, stash them somewhere safe. You’ll be glad you did.
