How do you get tattoo ink out of clothes?

1. Act fast. The sooner you start to treat the stain, the better your chances of removing it completely.

2. Blot, don't rub. Rubbing the stain can only spread the ink and make it more difficult to remove.

3. Use a stain remover. There are a number of commercial stain removers available that are specifically designed to remove tattoo ink.

4. Try a homemade solution. If you don't have a commercial stain remover on hand, you can try a homemade solution such as dishwashing liquid and water, or baking soda and water.

5. Let the stain remover sit for several minutes. Follow the instructions on the stain remover packaging.

6. Rinse the garment thoroughly. Rinse the garment with cold water until the stain remover has been completely removed.

7. Launder the garment. Launder the garment in the hottest water recommended on the care label.

8. Check the stain before drying the garment. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 2-7.

9. If all else fails, take the garment to a professional dry cleaner. A professional dry cleaner may be able to remove the stain that you have been unable to remove.

Tips:

* Always test a stain remover on an inconspicuous area of the fabric before using it on the entire garment.

* Some tattoo inks may be more difficult to remove than others.

* If you are unable to remove the stain, you may be able to cover it up with a garment patch or embroidery.
