IMPORTANT: Please Read Before Booking

Existing Training Requirement
This course is available exclusively to technicians certified in microblading or permanent makeup (eyebrows) with in-person training. If your certification is limited to lip blush, skin camouflage, areola, freckles, or scalp micropigmentation, this course is not suitable.

Active & New Technicians
We verify your status as an active microblading or permanent makeup technician via your social media profiles or website. Inactive profiles may affect your certification or eligibility to purchase Botched Ink serum. This does not apply to new technicians; your training certificate will suffice.

Licensing & Insurance
It is your responsibility to confirm that offering saline tattoo removal or lightening treatments is permitted at your location. Additionally, ensure that your insurance policy covers saline tattoo removal and the use of Botched Ink products.

Removal Trainers
We do not offer training or supply Botched Ink serum to removal trainers or technicians affiliated with training companies that offer removal services without prior agreement. This policy prevents conflicts of interest. Only trainers with an active, signed training agreement with us are authorized to offer or associate with Botched Ink treatments or training.

Body Tattoos, Eyeliner & Lip Tattoos
Botched Ink is not approved for use on body tattoos, eyeliner, or full lip tattoos. While Botched Ink is highly effective for eyebrows, lip liner, freckles, and small areas of scalp micropigmentation, it poses risks for other areas. Body tattoos include camouflage tattoos on the face or body and medical tattoos like areola reconstruction

Being a Botched Ink Tech

As an official Botched Ink tech, we're in this together. Botched Ink is a brand you represent, not just another product in the drawer!

It's essential to stay updated with our latest treatment recommendations to ensure the safety and success of your procedures. This includes subscribing to our emails, reviewing our official tech resources, and participating in the Botched Ink Facebook support group

Exclusive Benefits for Botched Ink Techs

Access to online tech resources, promotional materials, and advertisements
Free online training updates and refresher courses
Private Facebook group for ongoing support
Monthly Zoom meetings with Lisa
Regular email updates and industry news

Brand Integrity & Conflicts

In rare instances, we may need to terminate our relationship with a technician, thereby restricting access to Botched Ink serum and use of our trademarks. This may occur if the technician:

Begins offering unauthorized saline tattoo removal training
Practices against our recommended safety protocols

Our primary goal is to maintain positive relationships, and we address these issues through education and understanding first

Find a Tech Map Listing

Listing on the Botched Ink Find a Tech map is not guaranteed. We feature active technicians who likely have in-date Botched Ink serum. A valid business website or social media presence, displaying you as a PMU or microblading technician, is required for listing. We reserve the right to exclude those who do not meet these criteria

Being clear and transparent from the start, shows our commitment to the support and guidance we offer Botched Ink techs, and care for the clients who visit them

Introducing Christy

Meet Christy, a passionate artist and removal specialist who turned her creative vision into a thriving career. After years of running a luxury hair salon in Southern California and working as a fashion stylist and designer, Christy had an awakening moment that forever changed her path. At a beauty trade show in Las Vegas, she discovered cosmetic tattooing—a craft that felt like it was downloaded into her soul. She knew instantly this was her true calling, combining her love for artistry with her dedication to elevating natural beauty.

Since then, Christy has poured her heart and soul into mastering the art of permanent makeup. Known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to tune into her clients’ unique energy, Christy creates stunning results that enhance each client’s natural features. From precision lip blush to powder brows and eyeliner, her work is a testament to her belief that beauty is an art form.

In early 2023, Christy embraced Botched Ink, converting to this groundbreaking saline removal technique to expand her offerings. As a confident removal specialist, she’s helped countless clients achieve successful corrections, removals, and maintenance treatments. Her passion for learning and evolving drives her to deliver the highest standards of care and artistry.

Christy operates her studio, Christy Calafati Ink, within the Canyon Salon in Westlake Village, California. Her journey into permanent makeup is one of reinvention, dedication, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of her craft. For Christy, every treatment is an opportunity to blend artistry with compassion, leaving her clients feeling radiant and students full of confidence.
