How can I get tattoo ink out of my beige carpet? I had the whole apartment professionally shampooed, but they did not remove the ink stain. Please help me.

I don't know if any of these ideas will work on carpet for any or all colors but they are worth a try. Be sure to do color fastness test for each idea in an inconspicuous place first:

And how in the world did you get tattoo ink on your carpet?
I'm curious if you were able to get that tattoo ink stain out of your carpet as it just happened to me...the only success I've had is by pouring isopropyl alcohol on the stain and then sucking it up with my carpet shampooer but it seems to be an exhaustively long and slow process... I'm talking days actually....so I'm curious if you found anything else that worked better..? I've heard gasoline works for tattoo ink but I haven't been bold enough to try that yet... Any chance you tried that..?
Isopropyl alcohol is my go-to for stains so it is too bad that isn't working. I have heard that gasoline is good for some stains but it is so stinky and flammable that would use it as a last resort.
I have had good luck with hydrogen peroxide on organic stains so that would be the next thing I would personally try. Otherwise, you might want to contact a local tattoo shop and see if they have any recommendations. I'm sure it gets spilled on their clothes pretty often.
Good luck and let us know if anything gets it all out for you.
