Botched Ink® Frequently Asked Questions

Is saline tattoo removal better than laser?

Saline tattoo removal with Botched Ink is a gentler alternative to laser treatments, with fewer side effects like inflammation or irritation. It's effective for both emergency removal and old, healed work, and is suitable for all skin types and colours

How many sessions are needed for saline tattoo removal?

The number of sessions can vary, but Botched Ink shows visible results after each session. Emergency removal or superficial cosmetic tattoos may require fewer sessions, while full removal of saturated and deep work generally needs multiple sessions to remove the tattoo completely

Does saline tattoo removal hurt?

Botched Ink is designed to be gentle. A numbing cream is applied during the procedure, and the solution causes only a mild sting that fades quickly. There is no lingering burning sensation, making it much less painful than traditional methods

Can saline removal remove permanent makeup?

Yes, Botched Ink is specifically designed for removing permanent makeup like microblading and PMU (permanent makeup). It works effectively on both fresh, recent and older cosmetic tattoo ink particles

Is saline tattoo removal safe for all skin types?

Absolutely. Botched Ink is formulated to be safe and gentle for all skin types and colors. Its non-acidic, skin-friendly pH of 5.5 closely matches the natural pH of healthy skin

How long does it take for saline tattoo removal to heal?

Healing is quick with Botched Ink. The skin dries out within an hour of treatment, forming a thin scab that naturally falls off in a few days. Due to the gentle method, there’s minimal inflammation or irritation, ensuring a faster recovery

Can Botched Ink be used for eyeliner or body tattoos

No, because Botched Ink is easily absorbed into the skin, there's a higher risk of causing pigment spread. Eyeliner, often made with carbon black, contains very fine pigment particles. Even small, deeper tattoos are at risk of spreading under the skin. For these reasons, laser removal is generally recommended.

What are the side effects of saline tattoo removal?

Side effects with Botched Ink are minimal. There's slight bleeding, which helps lift the pigment, but the solution quickly dries the treated skin, preventing scarring, inflammation, and infection. A thin scab forms and falls off naturally

Can saline removal be used for emergency tattoo removal?

Yes, Botched Ink is perfect for emergency removal of recent mistakes or undesired outcomes. It's quick, effective, and gentle, making it an ideal solution in such situations

How effective is saline tattoo removal compared to other methods?

Botched Ink stands out due to its gentle yet potent formula. It’s a more skin-friendly and effective solution, particularly for cosmetic tattoos, without causing the harsh side effects that other methods can cause
