Permanent Makeup & Microblading Removal Near Me

Botched Ink can successfully lift, improve and remove bad or unwanted healed tattoo pigments or a fresh microblading disaster. Cosmetic tattoo eyebrows can be old, touched up multiple times, faded funky colors, or in a multitude of brow shapes

The removal process also works on scar tissue caused by a heavy hand or laser session, the procedure using Botched Ink solution consistently gives satisfactory results. We train our technicians to understand not only how to do the treatment, but advise how many sessions you should budget for, usually start at 3, and how much pigment can be removed each session

Removing pigment from living tissue, and keeping that living tissue in good condition for any future microblading or permanent makeup, is a skill and requires an advanced knowledge from your technician, and a removal solution that gives the best results in the gentlest way

Time is another huge factor, rushing removal treatments is not advised

Build Up of Faded Pigment, Touch Ups & Corrections

This illustration shows how pigment molecules remain in the skin forever, it's their color that changes. This is why after years of touch ups it becomes harder to implant more pigment

Pigment molecules also break down over time, some sooner than others, leaving a stain of colour in the skin. Laser tattoo removal cannot remove skin stain as it's not pigment

Emergency microblading removal

Let's have some quick facts!

  • Emergency removal is best within the first 48 hours of permanent makeup

  • Botched Ink saline removal is safe for any permanent makeup disaster

  • Not all saline tattoo removal products work the same

  • Some saline tattoo removal liquid is very painful!

  • Emergency saline removal can also be carried out after 48 hours with Botched Ink

  • A second removal treatment should be carried out after 8 weeks

It's worth noting that doing another removal before 8 weeks is highly likely to cause scar tissue and an excess growth of blood capillaries (red skin), making further removal more difficult. Leaving good time between sessions really helps pigment remove

After a Botched Ink microblading disaster removal procedure, a good amount of the unwanted pigment will have floated up and out of the skin. Any remaining pigment will be closer to the surface, making the next removal treatment much easier

Microblading healing process

During healing from microblading or permanent makeup, these illustrations show what's going in the skin, explaining why what you see on the outside changes so much during the first 2 months. An illustration of the removal process is further down this page

Emergency Removal within 48 hours

IMPORTANT: Emergency removal is carried out before any scabbing has formed and no home removal attempts!

Facts about saline for an emergency removal

  • Salt draws water to the surface, this can make a wet wound before it dries to a scab

  • Just think what happens when you put salt on a pork joint to make crackling!!

  • Botched Ink was developed to counter this by drying out skin within an hour

  • Saline emergency removal is normally just a saline soak on the unwanted pigment

  • Botched Ink can be gently needled into the skin (topical anaesthetic is used)

  • Needling Botched Ink into the skin gets the most pigment out in one session!

  • Botched Ink does not cause inflammation or irritation during just dried out skin

Removing microblading or permanent makeup eyebrows during the first 48 hours after the cosmetic tattoo gives the best results. Saline microblading removal is considered an effective method of removal because salt is known to dry out the eyebrows, and during the healing the unwanted pigment is removed

Unlike other saline removal products, Botched Ink aftercare instructions are really simple. For the types of saline removal that cause skin wetness, clients have to wash the treated area several times to prevent thick scabbing and risk of infection. Botched Ink dries out skin within an hour, this means we can offer our clients different advice and a nicer healing experience

How much pigment is removed during an emergency removal varies, another treatment can be carried out on any remaining pigment once the area has completely healed in 8 weeks. One or two sessions are normal for permanent makeup and microblading removal of fresh pigment

Emergency removal with Botched Ink can be carried out on all skin types and skin colors, even dark skin and eyebrows

Emergency removal after 48 hours

Botched Ink's exclusive extended emergency removal (also known as EEER!)

If you've missed the 48 hour initial emergency saline removal window, we can still help!

  • Allow the scab to naturally heal off for 5-10 days, do not pick your brows!

  • Book an emergency removal treatment with your local Botched Ink technician

  • Botched Ink causes no inflammation or irritation, so the delicate skin can still be worked

  • Topical anesthetic is used on the unwanted microblading or permanent makeup

If more than 48 hours have passed, the scabbing stage will have started for your eyebrows, most saline tattoo removal technicians using salt and saline or other types of saline removal will say that an emergency removal is no longer possible for brows. The client would have to wait for 6 - 8 weeks before having a permanent makeup or microblading removal treatment, and that's just no fun if the cosmetic tattoo really needs removing!

With Botched Ink we can still help with our exclusive extended emergency microblading removal treatment!

Because Botched Ink doesn't cause inflammation or irritation, and dries out the skin super quickly, we can offer an emergency removal as soon as the scab has naturally healed off. This wouldn't be a second emergency removal treatment, but an initial first treatment can still be carried out by a Botched Ink technician during the initial weeks after the microblading treatment. This is still an effective emergency removal treatment

Does Laser removal work in an emergency?

The thought of this just scares me! Why?

  • Laser tattoo removal uses a laser ray to heat and shatter the unwanted pigment

  • Laser tattoo removal on the open wound of fresh microblading must feel horrific!

  • Laser shattered pigment is drawn into the skin, to be removed by the lymphatic system

  • Any surface laser removal will have been caused by the burn of the laser ray

  • The healing after laser tattoo removal for emergency laser removal - Yikes!

  • It's one thing to remove pigment, it's another to prevent scar tissue!

Laser tattoo removal isn't considered the best option for microblading or permanent makeup removal, this is because brown pigment contains several colours that laser cannot 'see'; black, white, red, yellow and green. For laser or saline tattoo removal black is the easiest colour to remove

We would always recommend Botched Ink first, then do laser tattoo removal if needed and there's just black permanent makeup pigment remaining. Two sessions of Botched Ink will make the laser removal job much easier! Just make sure the laser tech doesn't take the credit!

Botched Ink will have brought the microblading or permanent makeup pigment close to the surface as it removes the unwanted pigments, and laser likes removing pigment close to the surface

Microblading Removal Process

Using the illustration ‘After 2-3 Months’ from the Microblading Healing Process, the following illustrations show tattoo removal using Botched Ink® saline tattoo removal solution

Pigment is flushed to the surface during each treatment, and pigment caught in the drying-out skin will remove during healing. After a few weeks the pigment settles closer to the surface, ready for the next removal session

Saline removal with a difference

Further information can be found on our Ingredients page. No need for vitamin e oil or orange seed extract, and of course Botched Ink is non acid with an all natural pH of 5.5. Eyebrow hair and hair follicles are not damaged, indeed eyebrows might improve!

Very high concentration of Aloe Vera

  • The high concentration of aloe vera is used for its healing properties, aiding the osmosis process of saline removal and the healing

  • This aids in the quick healing of the area treated using Botched Ink saline tattoo removal and can sometimes help the tattoo look better during healing!

Makes the treated skin bleed

  • This one sounds a little scary but it’s true the ingredients in Botched Ink saline removal make the skin bleed

  • This allows us to let the blood do the work, adding to the osmotic process and flushing up tattoo pigment from the deeper layers of skin

  • The bleeding helps to lift the pigment to the surface of the skin which will then form a scab and fall off meaning that pigment has been removed

Acts as a vascular constrictor to stop bleeding

  • The ingredients in Botched Ink® have been chosen as they help to stem the flow of blood from us making the skin bleed

  • This quick stemming of the blood helps to stop the treated area from getting too messy and causing contamination

  • It also means that the area dries quickly to assist in the healing

Dries the treated skin within an hour

  • Due to Botched Ink being a vascular constrictor and drying out the skin quickly it means the bodies natural healing response doesn’t have chance to kick in

  • This means we prevent scarring as there's a thin scab, minimal inflammation, minimal irritation and minimal risk of infection,

  • Treated skin heals easily, and within a few days the scab falls off. Even the most sensitive skin can be treated with the Botched Ink removal technique

Has a skin friendly pH of around 5.5

  • We’ve told you Botched Ink is gentle during treatment and this is because the pH of Botched Ink closely resembles the pH of healthy skin (between 4.5 and 5.75) which is slightly acidic and this results in only a mild sting during the treatment

Ultimate Freshness and Hygiene

Saline tattoo removal in sachets, not a bottle!

  • Botched Ink is the only saline tattoo removal product on the market that comes in single use sachets.

  • We use single use sachets for ultimate hygiene – no contamination between clients and no drying out of the saline solution

  • We use single use sachets because it is cost effect. One sachet completes a set of brows, we couldn’t make the price any better!

  • We use single use sachets because it limits the size of the area you can effectively treat per session – 1 sachet = 1 pair of brows.
