EliminInk™ Overview:
After evaluating EliminInk™, we have found that this is a treatment that is similar to a tattoo or permanent makeup application. A machine is used to implant this product into the tissue and helps break down the pigment or ink of tattoos and permanent makeup. This may be painful as stated by the manufacturer.
It appears that this tattoo removal treatment can only be performed by a trained professional in a medical setting. A physician, Certified tattoo artist, make-up artist, or medical aesthetician or nurse under the supervision of a physician must perform these treatments. This is because these individuals have been trained to perform these treatments and have become certified based on the treatment requirements.
EliminINK is intended for tattoos made at home and also professionally made tattoos. Do NOT have EliminINK tattoo removal treatments performed on areas like the eyelids for removal purposes of tattooed eyeliner or eyebrows.
As mentioned EliminINK treatments may be painful and can feel like the original tattooing process. In some cases, a topical anesthetic is needed to numb the area before a treatment is performed. Treatment time can vary. It takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes to treat a 2" x 2" tattoo or four square inches. After treatment, you may notice scabbing. Do not pick at scabs as it could lead to scarring on the skin.
According to the manufacturer, EliminInk™ contains DermRenu which helps minimize scarring. There is no information stating how much this procedure costs, but the manufacturer claims that you must keep a bandage on the treated area for 48 hours.

Negatives on EliminInk™:
After evaluation of EliminINK we feel that this is a painful treatment procedure that can become expensive and time consuming if tattoos are larger than four square inches. Also individuals have to wear bandages after treatments and worry about scabbing. There are less painful options on the market that have the ability to fade the appearance of unwanted tattoos for under $50. These products do not require professional application or training certificates.
Also these tattoo fading products can be applied in less than 5 minutes in the privacy of your own home. Be sure to explore all your options on the market when it comes to addressing unwanted tattoos. To see some of the best options on the market today, see the review grid below.
Final Thoughts on EliminInk™:
EliminInk™ may be expensive since several treatments may be needed. Also this may be a painful process and it can take 30-45 minutes to treat a 2” x 2” area. However, it is intended for all tattoos and colors. Do not use these treatments on permanent makeup like eyeliner. To see how EliminInk™ compares to less invasive approaches, refer to the grid below.
