DEBATE · INSIGHT · EXPERIENCE
Join the conversation

The first dedicated in-person PMU removal event

For working PMU professionals who want to understand, add or expand removal within their business.

Sunday 18 April 2027
Village Hotel Cheadle, Manchester UK
9.30AM-5.30PM

Looking to add or expand removal in your PMU business?

This day is designed to help you understand the options before you invest in them

Saline or laser? One method or a combination? Which treatments fit your business? What training do you need? What should you understand before investing in technology?

You’ll hear directly from working removal practitioners, laser trainers, technology businesses and Botched Ink® trainers who already work across different approaches

ASK QUESTIONS · COMPARE THINKING · UNDERSTAND THE OPTIONS

Then make better-informed decisions about the treatments, training and technology that are right for your business — and give better-informed answers to your clients, whichever removal method you choose to offer.

A different kind of PMU Event

PMU removal has grown into its own part of the industry

Saline · Laser · Correction · Combination approaches · Training · Technology · Working practitioners

Different methods, different businesses and plenty of different opinions

Most of the time, those conversations happen separately

LIVE & UNEDITED BRINGS THOSE CONVERSATIONS INTO THE SAME ROOM

Not to decide that one method wins, but to hear how different parts of the industry are thinking, where opinions divide and what people are actually seeing in practice

Because no one method has the whole conversation

Botched Ink® is hosting the day, but the event goes wider than Botched Ink — bringing PMU artists and removal practitioners together with laser trainers, machine and technology businesses and people working across different parts of removal

Who is this for?

Live & Unedited is for working PMU professionals

You might already offer removal and want to expand what you do

You might be considering adding saline, laser or both

Or you may simply want to understand the removal options well enough to make better decisions and have better conversations with your clients

You don’t need to be Botched Ink trained, already offer removal or be planning to buy a laser

Event Programme

Who'll be in the room?

Hosted by Lisa Henning, founder of Botched Ink®, alongside Botched Ink trainers:

All four work across Botched Ink saline removal and laser, bringing real experience of combination removal and knowing when different approaches may work better alone or together

How the day works

Morning

the PMU decisions we’re already making

The morning opens up the questions PMU professionals are already dealing with every day:

  • When does another top-up stop being the right answer?
  • When should we correct — and when should we remove?
  • What are the boundaries to advanced and safe removal treatments?
  • Where do saline, laser and combination approaches each fit?

This is the part of the day where we step back from individual methods and properly talk about the judgement sitting behind PMU correction and removal.

We don’t have to agree with one another — that’s what makes the conversation useful.

Afternoon

Live laser industry panels

The afternoon changes gear with two chaired, Question Time-style discussions:

  • Technology and machines
  • Training and the reality side of treatments

Laser trainers, machine and technology businesses, working practitioners and Botched Ink® trainers will be responding to the same questions in the same room

THE BROAD THEMES WILL BE KNOWN. THE EXACT QUESTIONS WON’T

You’ll be able to submit your own questions and hear different businesses, trainers and practitioners respond live

View the event program

Why be in the room?

Because this isn’t another day of presentations and demos

It’s a chance to hear different parts of the PMU removal industry in one room, ask your own questions and better understand the options before making decisions in your own business

You may leave with:

  • a clearer idea of whether saline, laser or both fit your business
  • better questions to ask before investing in training or technology
  • stronger answers for your own clients
  • new contacts, ideas and perspectives you wouldn’t get from social media alone

Sometimes the most useful part of an event isn’t just what’s said at the front — it’s being in the room while the conversation happens

The venue

Buffet lunch, tea, coffee and refreshments are included, with free parking during event, and Wi-Fi at the hotel. On-site Starbucks coffee shop, bar and grill. Pool and gym

A limited number of rooms are available at a discounted event rate. Details will be sent after you purchase your event ticket

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions below.

Is this a Botched Ink training day?

No. Botched Ink® is hosting the event, but this is a wider PMU removal industry day bringing together different methods, practitioners, laser training and technology

Does “Live” mean live treatments or demonstrations? 

No. Live refers to the conversations, questions and discussions happening there in the room. There will be no live treatments or treatment demonstrations

Do I need removal training already?

No. The event is for PMU professionals whether or not you currently offer removal. If you’re new to removal, your £100 Botched Ink® credit can be used towards Saline Removal Training rather than product

Will the event be recorded?

No. We’ll be photographing and capturing moments from the day, but the event itself won’t be recorded for replay

What about dietary or accessibility requirements?

We’ll collect these after booking so they can be arranged with the venue in advance

Do I need to be a PMU professional to attend?

Not necessarily. The event is primarily for the PMU industry, but laser practitioners interested in PMU removal are also welcome to attend

Can I promote my business at the event?

The event is designed for learning, discussion and networking. Unsolicited selling or commercial promotion isn’t permitted unless you’re attending as a confirmed Industry Partner or sponsor
