IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE BOOKING

Existing Training Requirement

Botched Ink and our saline removal training, is available to tattoo artists already certified in microblading or permanent makeup (eyebrows) after receiving in-person training. If you’re only certified in lip blush, skin camouflage, areola, freckles or scalp micropigmentation, our training is not suitable for you without prior acceptance

Active & New Technicians

We check that you’re currently working as a microblading or PMU artist via your social media or website. Inactive profiles may affect your certification or supply of Botched Ink serum. This doesn’t apply to Worldwide or UK beginner students, we can see this from your training certificate

Licensing & Insurance

It's your responsibility to check you're allowed to offer saline removal or lightening treatments at your location, and that your insurance company recognises saline tattoo removal and Botched Ink

Saline Removal Trainers

Without prior agreement, we do not offer any saline removal training, or supply Botched Ink serum to saline removal trainers, or techs working for training companies offering removal. This is a conflict of interest. Only trainers who hold an active signed Approved Trainer agreement with us, can offer or associate themselves with Botched Ink treatments or training

Body Tattoos, Eyeliner & Lip Tattoos

Botched Ink is not approved for use on body tattoo’s, it's specifically designed for cosmetic tattoo removal. Formulated to be gentle and effective on the face. Botched Ink is an advanced saline solution, and what makes it so wonderful for microblading and permanent makeup eyebrows, lip liner, freckles and small areas of scalp micropigmentation, makes it too risky or dangerous for other areas. Body tattoos includes not being suitable for camouflage tattoos under eyes or on the body, and medical tattoos such as areola. This also applies to our advanced saline solution and removal conversion course students.

Being a Botched Ink Saline Removal Tech

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

It’s vital you stay up-to-date with our treatment advice and recommendations.

Engaging with our communications to offer support that helps ensure successful and safe treatments, enabling clients to have easy healing and the best results.

Conflicts for Botched Ink as a Brand

There might be instances where we need to part ways with a technician we've trained, preventing them from purchasing Botched Ink serum, or using our trademarks

The main reasons have been that the technician:

Started offering a saline removal course
Working on clients against our training advice or safe practice. Our first intention is to maintain the relationship with understanding and education

Listing on our Find a Tech Map

Being listed on the Botched Ink Find a Tech map isn't guaranteed. We feature active technicians who likely have in-date Botched Ink saline solution available. If a tech doesn’t have their own business website or social media page, showing them as a named permanent makeup or microblading tech, we reserve the right to not list

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
