You’ll quickly see why so many PMU artists stay loyal to Botched Ink® for years.

Faithful to Education & High Standards

Some removal products are sold to anyone, no questions asked. That’s why we see such mixed results in training and treatments, disappointing when removal should be a corrective, not another mistake.

At Botched Ink®, we raise the bar. Access to our solution comes with comprehensive training and ongoing support, so technicians know exactly what they’re doing and why. The goal is simple: confident professionals delivering safe, effective pigment removal and colour correction, backed by a brand that stands for standards.

Free Updates & Refreshers

Once you’ve passed the Botched Ink® online course, you keep access to both our Saline Removal and Correction & Removal Specialist training.

You’ll also have our private support group, plus direct advice from Botched Ink® head office whenever you need it. Free updates and refreshers mean you stay current, confident, and supported long after training.

Checklist & Terms ✔️

IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE BOOKING

Existing Training Requirement
Botched Ink® training is only available to certified microblading or PMU (eyebrow) artists who have received in-person training. If your certification is only in lip blush, skin camouflage, areola, freckles, or scalp micropigmentation, our training is not suitable unless we’ve given prior approval.

Active & New Technicians
We check that you’re actively working as a microblading or PMU artist via your social media or website. Inactive profiles can affect your certification or supply of Botched Ink® serum. This does not apply to UK or Worldwide beginners as we can verify this from your training certificate.

Licensing & Insurance
It’s your responsibility to make sure you’re licensed and insured to offer saline removal or lightening where you work, and that your insurance recognises saline tattoo removal and Botched Ink®.

Saline Removal Trainers
We do not train or supply saline removal trainers (or associated PMU artists). This is a conflict of interest. Only trainers with an active, signed Botched Ink® Approved Trainer agreement may associate themselves with our treatments or training.

Body Tattoos, Eyeliner & Lip Tattoos
Botched Ink® is formulated for cosmetic tattoo removal and is not approved for body tattoos. What makes it safe and effective for brows, lip liner, freckles, and small scalp areas also makes it unsuitable, and potentially dangerous, for body tattoos, eyeliner, camouflage under eyes or on the body, or medical tattoos such as areola. This also applies to students on our advanced saline solution and conversion courses.

Being a Botched Ink® Tech

As an official Botched Ink® tech, you represent the brand, and the standards of every other artist we’ve trained. This isn’t just another saline bottle in the drawer.

It’s your responsibility to stay up to date with our treatment advice and recommendations. Ongoing learning is what ensures safe, effective results and easy healing for clients. We keep you informed through email, and our private support group.

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

Refunds & Access

By purchasing our online training, there are no refunds for any reason

Students are automatically enrolled on the course after payment. It is your responsibility to check that you meet the enrolment requirements for the course you select, these are clearly listed with each course.

You will have 12 months to complete the training. After certification, approved Botched Ink® techs retain continued access for refreshers and updates.
