Permanent makeup can be a brilliant thing — until it isn’t quite right for you anymore.
Maybe your old brows have changed colour. Maybe you’ve had several treatments over the years and the pigment has become too saturated. Maybe you want a completely different shape, or you’re hoping to create a cleaner starting point for new PMU.
Whatever the reason, you don’t necessarily have to live with it forever.
I now offer Botched Ink® saline PMU removal as a gradual removal option from my Stafford studio.
It isn’t a magic eraser, and it isn’t suitable for everyone. But for the right person and the right type of PMU, it can be a useful way of gradually reducing unwanted pigment.
Botched Ink® is a professional saline removal system designed for cosmetic tattooing and permanent makeup.
Rather than using a laser, a specialist removal solution is introduced into the existing PMU. The treatment then relies on your skin’s natural healing process to gradually lift and expel pigment.
The important word here is gradually.
This isn’t a treatment where you arrive with unwanted brows and leave with completely blank skin a few hours later. Established PMU will usually need multiple sessions, with plenty of time between treatments for your skin to heal.
The aim is to reduce the amount of unwanted pigment while respecting your skin, rather than repeatedly treating an area before it is ready.
I’ve completed specialist Botched Ink® training and will assess your existing PMU before recommending whether this is an appropriate option for you.
Botched Ink® may be suitable if you have healed PMU that you would like to lighten or remove, including situations where:
You don’t need to have had a disaster.
Sometimes the PMU itself is perfectly well executed — it just isn’t what you want anymore.
And that’s reason enough.
Botched Ink® isn’t automatically the right choice for every person or every pigment.
I may not recommend treatment if:
Previous PMU can also behave unpredictably. Different pigments, colours, depths and layers can all affect how the skin responds.
I won’t treat you simply because you’ve booked an appointment.
You’ll complete my consultation and consent form when booking, and I’ll review the information provided before confirming your appointment. If I need more information, I’ll contact you first.
If I don’t think Botched Ink® is appropriate for you, I’ll tell you.
Your first appointment will begin with an assessment of the existing PMU and the skin around it.
We’ll talk about what you want to achieve and what is realistically possible.
The treatment itself involves working over the existing pigment with the Botched Ink® removal solution.
Afterwards, your skin needs time to heal.
This is where the patience part comes in.
The treated area will go through a healing process and the appearance of the pigment can change considerably during this time. You may experience redness, tenderness, swelling and scabbing.
Please don’t pick or pull at the treated area while it heals.
I know. Nobody enjoys being told not to pick something when there is a perfectly tempting little scab sitting there.
But interfering with the healing process can damage the skin and affect your result.
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions following your appointment, including what to avoid while the area heals.
This is probably the question I get asked most — and unfortunately there isn’t a magic number.
I can’t tell you exactly how many sessions you’ll need before I’ve assessed your PMU.
The number of treatments required depends on things such as:
Some people may see a noticeable difference after their first treatment.
For others, it will take several sessions.
And sometimes the goal isn’t complete removal.
You may simply need to lighten the existing pigment enough to allow a new PMU treatment to be carried out safely.
That’s something we’ll discuss before you start.

Your skin will need time to recover after every removal treatment.
Immediately afterwards, the area may look red or irritated and can feel tender. As it heals, you can expect the treated area to change in appearance and develop some scabbing.
The pigment may also look darker, lighter or simply different at various points during the healing process.
This doesn’t mean you can judge the final result straight away.
Your skin needs time to do its thing.
I’ll advise you on your aftercare and when you’re ready for me to reassess the area.
Further treatment should only be carried out once your skin has properly healed.
Trying to rush the process doesn’t make it happen faster.
It might significantly reduce it.
It might lighten it enough for a new treatment.
It may remove some colours more successfully than others.
But I cannot promise complete removal.
That’s really important to understand before you spend money on a course of treatments.
Some pigment can be incredibly stubborn, particularly where there are multiple layers of old PMU or previous removal treatments.
My aim is always to give you an honest assessment rather than promise you an outcome that I can’t guarantee.
Sometimes the most successful result is getting you to a point where we have enough of the old pigment out of the way to safely create something new.
Botched Ink® gives me another option for PMU removal, but that doesn’t mean it is automatically the best option for everyone.
Laser and saline removal work differently, and some pigments can respond differently depending on their colour and composition.
There may also be situations where laser is recommended instead, or where another approach needs to be considered.
I’m not interested in removing your PMU at any cost.
I’m interested in finding the most sensible option for your skin and what you’re ultimately trying to achieve.
If Botched Ink® isn’t the right route, I’ll tell you.

Bundles are paid for at the first appointment and are non-refundable.
Because removal is a gradual process it is highly recommended to commit to at least 3 sessions. However, you can book individual sessions and assess progress as you go.
I’d rather you choose the option you’re comfortable with than sell you five treatments before we’ve seen how your skin responds.
If you’ve got old PMU that you’re fed up with, you don’t need to feel embarrassed about it.
I’ve seen plenty of different brows, colours, shapes and previous treatments — there really isn’t anything you need to apologise for.
Your previous PMU doesn’t have to dictate what you do next.
You can book a Botched Ink® removal appointment through my online booking site. You’ll pay your deposit and complete your consultation and consent form as part of the booking process.
I’ll review your information before confirming your appointment. If I have any concerns or need more information, I’ll get in touch before we go ahead.
If you’re not sure whether your PMU is suitable, you can also email me at trueformpmu@gmail.com with clear, well-lit photographs and I’ll let you know what I can advise from there.
Please note: Botched Ink® removal is a gradual process and complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Suitability will always be assessed before treatment.
