Permanent Makeup Removal: How Botched Ink Changed the Game


Firmly adjusting the benchmark for treatments and training


Permanent makeup and microblading removal can be a tough and uncomfortable process. The traditional microblading removal technique used saline removal, acid or alkaline non-laser tattoo removal solutions to remove microblading, often leave clients with thick scabs, inflammation, and irritation. But what if there was a better way?


Botched Ink entered the permanent makeup removal industry in January 2019, firmly adjusting the benchmark for a microblading removal products and training. Designed for today's high standards and expectations!


Botched Ink saline removal makes permanent makeup and removal consistent, faster, and more comfortable. Techs who've trained with us understand more about the different types of pigment used, and how to approach lightening and removing the pigment particles


This blog explains how Botched Ink works, and why it's the best and first option for microblading removal and unwanted pigment. Compare this to laser tattoo removal which risks exposing the funky sunset colours in brown microblading pigment ⚫ 🔴 🟡 ⚪, and the correction colours 🟠 🟢 we use too!


To remove microblading, laser shatters the black pigment first, not ideal if your brows are now red until the next session. If indeed your laser tattoo removal tech knows what the next best course of action is for microblading pigment

What Makes Botched Ink Different?


Work smarter, not harder!


  • Botanical Superpowers: Botched Ink saline microblading removal uses aloe vera juice that's 200 times more concentrated than regular aloe vera, helping ingredients soak deeply into the skin for more effective microblading removal

  • No Soggy Bottoms: Botched Ink saline removal makes the skin dry out super quickly. This prevents the formation of thick soggy scabs, and reduces inflammation and irritation, unlike traditional methods that can leave behind uncomfortable scabs

  • Star Ingredients: Aluminum sulfate is a key ingredient that helps form a thin, dry scab by stopping bleeding and drying out the skin, making the process to remove microblading faster and more comfortable

  • Sachets, not Bottles: Botched Ink is packaged in single-use sachets to maintain the freshness and potency of its ingredients, avoiding the degradation of saline removal solutions that happens with open bottles

Understanding what you have is the first step to knowing what you need


Traditional non-laser pigment removal methods can be painful and messy. With saline removal usually involving multiple painful passes of a needle, using microblading removal solutions that can cause skin irritation and lengthy healing times. Who wants a product to be forced into their skin!


Botched Ink saline removal changes all this with our revolutionary approach to remove microblading


Botched Ink floats up an out the unwanted pigment. Naturally eliminate ink particles out of the body, visibly as the skin dries out. You can often see pigment in the thin dried out skin scab. Botched Ink does not rely on laser technology to shatter pigment into smaller particles, to be absorbed into the body for the immune system to deal with over the coming months


Botched Ink is an effective saline removal method to remove microblading ink, achieving desired results in a more gentle removal journey. For pigment-saturated skin, it's always best to manage expectations when considering other methods of permanent makeup removal


If your microbladed eyebrows has deep work, with visibly solid pigment, it's very likely to also have scar tissue. Botched Ink's gentle methods, not only removes the pigment, but improves any scar tissue, and even eyebrow hair growth


Advanced Ingredients for Better Results


Maximum potency, gentle method, easy healing, consistent results


Botched Ink microblading removal uses some unique ingredients that set it apart. One key ingredient is concentrated aloe vera. Most products use regular aloe vera gel, but Botched Ink saline microblading removal uses aloe vera juice powder, that's 200 times more concentrated


This super concentrated and powerful aloe vera, helps the other ingredients in Botched Ink easily soak deeply into the surrounding skin. It also speeds up the drying process, which is crucial for effective microblading removal, and helps break down unwanted pigment from any skin type or colour


When dealing with permanent makeup removal, Botched Ink provides a gentle alternative to traditional saline and non-laser tattoo removal treatments. Botched Ink was developed for the face and microblading eyebrows, you don't need a harsh product to be effective


Another important ingredient in our saline removal, is aluminum sulfate. This substance is known for its ability to stop bleeding and dry out any skin type quickly. When applied, it helps to form a thin, dried-out scab rather than a thick, wet one. This minimizes the risk of inflammation and irritation, particularly in sensitive skin


Whether you're removing permanent makeup or microblading eyebrows, the process remains gentle, fast and effective


Minimal Needle Passes


Botched Ink is absorbed into the skin, not forced


With Botched Ink, you only need one dense pass with the needle to create enough holes in the skin. This is different from other microblading removal methods that might require multiple sessions


After making the needle holes, the skin is soaked with Botched Ink. The concentrated ingredients, including aloe vera and aluminum sulfate, then work their magic. This method not only makes the process faster but also less painful for the client


To remove microblading, the needling part shouldn't be painful

The Science Behind Botched Ink Microblading Removal


Understanding how Botched Ink saline microblading removal works, involves a bit of science


Osmosis and Non-Laser Tattoo Removal


Preventing soggy bottoms and sore skin

Osmosis is a process where liquid moves through a semipermeable membrane to balance concentrations. Think of a plant needing water. When the plant gets enough, it looks healthy and grows. If it doesn’t get enough water, it droops. To remove microblading, a similar concept is used with saline solution


When you apply a saline solution or salt to the skin, it can make the surrounding skin wetter as it tries to balance the salt levels. This can lead to a soggy scab, which is not ideal for removing microblading or tattoo pigment


Botched Ink solves this problem by using ingredients that dry out the skin quickly. This helps in creating a thin, effective scab without the soggy mess, reducing the increased risk of irritation to the surrounding tissue and skin


pH Balance and Stinging Sensations


It's all about when you feel the sting, not how much it stings


The pH of Botched Ink microblading removal solution is around 5.5, which matches the natural pH of healthy skin. When a product has a different pH, it can cause a stinging sensation


With Botched Ink, clients feel a slight sting towards the end of the soaking. The sting at this point is a good sign, this lets us know we made enough needle holes, and not Botched Ink has fully absorbed under the tattoo. The dermis is around pH7, and that's the sting when Botched Ink is around pH 5.5


Some removal methods have very low pH levels, similar to lemon juice or vinegar. These can be very painful, especially if there's been multiple needle passes, and then a long soak afterwards


Botched Ink avoids this problem by maintaining a pH that is close to the skin’s natural level, making the process more comfortable, especially for those with a sensitive skin type


Botched Ink Analysis:


Let's look at a summary of the Botched Ink difference


Wound Healing and Scab Formation:


  • Objective: The goal is to minimize inflammation and irritation during tattoo removal, preventing thick, uncomfortable scabs that risk splitting or premature removal
  • Challenges: Traditional microblading removal methods such as laser tattoo removal or non-laser complete removal methods can lead to thick, unsightly scabs and risk of scarring. Inflammation and irritation can affect healing and results, especially with permanent makeup
  • Solution: Botched Ink expedites skin drying, minimizes inflammation, and reduces irritation using advanced ingredients for better results. By creating a thin scab, Botched Ink reduces the chances of scar tissue forming or skin damage when removing microblading or tattoo pigment

Botched Ink Mechanism and Ingredients:


  • Mechanism: Uses a minimal number of needle passes and relies on the solution to penetrate the skin effectively, just like a serum
  • Key Ingredients: Aloe vera (200 times concentrated) for enhanced absorption and deeper penetration, and aluminum sulfate (a styptic) to stop bleeding and dry the skin quickly
  • Benefits: One pass is sufficient, leading to effective pigment removal with reduced pain and discomfort. Botched Ink also prevents complications like pigment or ink particles spreading beyond treated area or excess bleeding, which can happen in traditional laser tattoo removal or other removal methods

pH Levels, Aftercare, and Packaging:


  • pH and Sensation: The product’s pH (5.5) matches healthy skin, causing minimal sting. Other products with extreme pH levels (2-4) can be painful, particularly when dealing with permanent makeup or eyebrow tattoo removal
  • Aftercare: Emphasizes not washing the treated area for the first 48 hours to maintain the dry scab and avoid irritation. This is particularly important for sensitive skin types, ensuring the best possible results from the microblading removal process. Proper aftercare instructions are key to proper care, ensuring the skin heals well after removing permanent makeup or microblading pigments
  • Packaging: Uses single-use sachets to ensure freshness and potency, avoiding the degradation issues of open bottles. This packaging method ensures that each application uses a fresh, potent formula to achieve optimal results when removing microblading

Benefits of Using Botched Ink:


Faster Healing Time:


Since Botched Ink dries out the skin quickly, clients experience a faster healing process. Traditional removal methods can leave clients with thick, uncomfortable scabs that take longer to heal. With Botched Ink, the skin forms a thin, dry scab that heals more efficiently, even when removing stubborn microblading pigments


Less Pain and Discomfort:


One of the biggest advantages of Botched Ink is the reduced pain and discomfort. Traditional methods can require multiple passes with the needle, which can be quite painful, especially in areas with permanent makeup


Botched Ink requires just one pass and uses a less painful soaking process, making it ideal for sensitive skin and smaller areas like eyebrow tattoo removal


Consistent Results:


Botched Ink is designed to give consistent results. The combination of advanced ingredients and the one-pass method helps to ensure that the removal process is effective every time. Clients can expect better results and fewer complications, reducing the need for multiple sessions typically required in a few other methods of laser tattoo removal


Final Thoughts:


Tattoo removal doesn’t have to be a painful and lengthy process. Botched Ink offers a new approach that makes the removal process faster, more comfortable, and more effective. With its advanced ingredients and unique method, Botched Ink is setting a new standard in microblading removal and permanent makeup removal

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


How does Botched Ink minimize pain during the tattoo removal process?


Botched Ink minimizes pain by using a single dense pass with the needle and applying the serum immediately. This approach reduces the need for multiple passes, which can be painful. The formula also includes soothing ingredients to make the treatment more comfortable, particularly for sensitive skin


What is the role of aloe vera in Botched Ink?


Aloe vera is used in Botched Ink as a carrier ingredient. It enhances the absorption of other active ingredients into the skin. The formula uses a highly concentrated aloe vera extract, which helps the serum penetrate deeply with minimal passes of the needle, reducing the need for multiple sessions required when removing tattoo ink, pigment or permanent makeup


Can Botched Ink be used for large tattoo areas?


No. Botched Ink is not suitable for larger tattoo areas. We do not work on body tattoos, or large areas of scalp micropigmentation. This is due to the healing risks of managing a dried out thin scab, and also the depth of tattoo ink that is likely be be carbon


Carbon black is a tiny pigment particle, and due to how easily Botched Ink is absorbed into the skin, this is likely to blow out the pigment, making the tattoo worse. This is also why we don't work on eyeliner


Botched Ink is ideal for remove tattoos from smaller areas such as microbladed eyebrows, eyebrow enhancements, lip liners, and small areas of scalp micropigmentation


What kind of aftercare is required following a Botched Ink treatment?


After treatment, avoid washing the treated area for the first 48 hours to maintain the dried-out skin and prevent infection. The skin will form a thin, crispy scab which should not be disturbed. After 48 hours, follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to support the healing process and ensure optimal results


Are there any potential side effects of using Botched Ink?


Botched Ink is a treatment designed to minimize side effects. Some clients may experience minor stinging or temporary redness. If you experience severe or unusual reactions, contact your microblading removal specialist


The formula aims to be as gentle as possible while providing effective results, particularly for a sensitive skin type. Unlike after a laser treatment, Botched Ink does not affect eyebrow hair when used to remove microblading


How quickly does the skin dry out after using Botched Ink?


Botched Ink is formulated to dry out the skin quickly, often within a few hours. The serums ingredients, including concentrated aloe vera and aluminum sulfate, work to absorb moisture and minimize the risk of a soggy bottom or excessive scabbing, helping the skin heal faster


Why is Botched Ink packaged in sachets instead of bottles?


Botched Ink is packaged in single-use sachets to ensure maximum freshness and potency. Aloe vera, a key ingredient, degrades over time once a bottle is opened. Sachets prevent the loss of effectiveness and ensure each treatment uses a fresh, potent formula to help remove microblading or permanent makeup


How does Botched Ink compare to other non-laser removal methods?


Botched Ink offers a unique approach by focusing on quick drying and minimal inflammation. Unlike traditional laser treatment or acids, Botched Ink uses concentrated aloe vera and other advanced ingredients to ensure effective tattoo ink and pigment removal with less discomfort and fewer sessions


What should I do if I notice any issues after a Botched Ink treatment?


If you notice any unusual reactions, such as severe redness, swelling, or prolonged discomfort, contact your tattoo removal specialist immediately. While Botched Ink is designed to be gentle and effective, it's important to address any concerns promptly to ensure proper healing and achieve optimal results removing microbladed eyebrows
