Botched Ink

Another success story with the fabulous Saline PMU & Microblading Removal. This is the result of one session of saline removal. Much softer, less grey and well on our way to a much more flattering brow. Not in love with your brows anymore? Get in touch to discuss our removal options

Did you know that laser removal isn’t your only option to remove brows you’re not happy with? This beautiful lady visited me to discuss removing brows that she’d had topped up numerous times over the years elsewhere and she felt they were too big and heavy for her face. Worried about what colours laser might uncover, we chose to use Saline PMU & Microblading Removal first to lift all the colours evenly and hopefully avoid pinks,oranges and yellows that sometimes laser can produce. Two sessions in and you can already see how much softer the colour is and how much her skin condition has improved. This is most certainly going to be a transformation you won’t want to miss!

PMU removal and correction isn’t just for botched brows.

Over time, pigments naturally fade and change. Skin changes too. What was once the perfect colour or shape may no longer suit you, and sometimes the skin simply needs space creating before we can implant fresh, vibrant pigment.

That’s the beauty of Botched Ink™—it allows us to safely lighten or remove unwanted pigment, giving us the opportunity to create beautiful, refreshed results.

If your brows have changed over the years or your lips were overlined past the vermillion border, it might not be about starting over—it might just be time for a reset. 💛

Get in touch and we can start discussing your correction.

These are just some of the lovely ladies that have recently started on my Brow Rehab programme. They all visited me with brows they had done elsewhere that they were not happy with. Some had changed colour over time, some started out with hairstrokes that were now blocks of colour and some just felt that the shape was too big and heavy and they were craving a softer style brow. Covering these over with more pigment is not an option. That would quite simply be adding to the problem. All are on very different removal journeys - some have started with laser, and some with Saline PMU & Microblading Removal Saline removal. And some will have a combination of both throughout their treatment plan. Once we have removed as much of the old brow as possible we will be ready to redesign their brows with their preferred style. It’s certainly a journey, but trust me it will be the best thing you do. Want to find out more? Drop me a DM to have a chat

🚨PSA‼️ Saline BEFORE Laser!!

This is a post about Saline & Laser removal and how they can work together in harmony to give clients exactly what they want. But for this to happen, they need to be done in the correct order!! This needs to be known by clients and also laser techs, to give clients the best possible results in their PMU removal journey.

I have had numerous messages from new ladies recently who have opted to go down the removal route and jumped straight into laser removal because they have never been told there’s other options and they’ve never been told how best to remove their unwanted PMU. By doing this they’ve been left with fluorescent yellow pigment due to the fact that the laser machines can’t remove the yellow colour in the pigment, as it’s too similar to skin tone. This lovely client of mine pictured did an extra 3 sessions of laser (over the course of a year in total) after being told they’d definitely be gone each time, with them only getting brighter instead.

Now, saline removal CAN lift the yellow tones left over by laser but they are so much easier to remove when they are mixed in with all of the other colours that make up the brown pigments we use for PMU. So, to enable the best results for removal the best way to do it is to start with a few sessions of saline, to physically flush out the colour, and then when they are light enough you can finish off with a laser session if you wanted to, to completely remove them.

Everyone opts for laser first as it physically looks like it’s giving you the best results straight away because it gets rid of the darker colours first, but unless your old PMU is super diluted, in a few weeks you’ll be left with orange/yellow brows that were as bold as the old pigment you went in with. You really need to flush them out and dilute them as much as possible before turning to laser.

So please, if you know anyone or have clients who are looking to start their PMU removal journey that have incredibly saturated brows, please turn them to saline first. It can be a lengthy process, but it’ll be quicker than trying to remove the unwanted yellow tones from doing laser first!

Can we stop tattooing yellow brows and recommend saline removal!

Ladies… I keep preaching it and I won’t stop. Always have saline removal first!! It lifts all the colours up to surface and out. Laser can’t see yellow but when everything is lifted at the same time it seems to work on it.

I will send you for laser when I think it’s ready… or we stick with the saline. We have options.

My client came for a colour boost but we agreed on removal. That yellow just shines through like a bright light. These photos were taken in natural lighting.

The work isn’t mine but it’s amazing. I love to see other artists work up close and personal. I’m not afraid to admin that I get imposter syndrome sometimes and seeing these close up helped me realise I know what I’m doing 🤭

*waits for the backlash* whilst I know I’m entitled to my own opinion. I won’t ever work over yellow. These are two years old. Have healed amazing but that yellow is going nowhere fast.
