Keeping Your Official Status Active
Once you’re Official, we want to keep you Official
We need to be able to verify that you’re still actively working in PMU, staying connected with Botched Ink® and following our current product guidance and professional standards
There is no minimum purchasing requirement
We know removal work can be occasional, so as a general guide, technicians who have trained, purchased or remained in contact with Botched Ink® within the past three years are considered active, provided they continue to meet our professional eligibility requirements
If you’ve had no training, purchasing activity or contact with Botched Ink® beyond this period, your Official status may become dormant and its associated benefits may be paused while your status is reviewed
What happens if your Official status becomes dormant?
If you are still visibly active as an eligible PMU artist, we may move you temporarily to Professional purchasing access while you complete any refresher or updated learning required to reactivate your Official status
This allows you to continue purchasing Botched Ink® at Professional pricing while your Official benefits remain paused
If we can no longer verify that you are currently practising and publicly operating as a PMU artist, purchasing access may also be paused until your professional eligibility can be confirmed again
Your original Botched Ink® training remains recognised
Where refresher access is appropriate, it is provided free of charge
Once any required refresher is complete and your current professional eligibility has been verified, your Official status and benefits can be reviewed for reinstatement
Find a Tech Map Eligibility *
Once you’re Official, we want to keep you Official
The Botched Ink® Find a Tech Map helps clients find active, trained Official Technicians
To be listed, we need to be able to verify your current PMU activity through a professional website or social media profile showing your work, either through your own business or with you clearly identified as a practising artist
Map listings are reserved for eligible Official Technicians and are not included with Professional purchasing access
Keeping Official Status Meaningful
Botched Ink® is a specialist PMU correction and removal brand, and Official Technicians are expected to follow current Botched Ink® training, approved treatment areas and product guidance
Being dormant is not the same as breaching our professional standards
If you’ve simply been away from the brand, your status can be reviewed for reactivation
Serious or repeated breaches of Botched Ink® treatment standards may result in Official recognition or purchasing access being withdrawn
Technicians whose Official status is dormant, suspended or withdrawn should not present themselves as currently Official or use current Official Technician branding
A Reputation We Build Together
Official status should mean something
Botched Ink® has never been just about selling a removal solution
Official Technicians take their relationship with the brand further through specialist training, recognised status, ongoing support and a closer professional connection
We’re proud of the technicians who have helped build Botched Ink® over the years
And we want Official status to remain something worth earning — and worth being proud of
