Yes this actually works! I just used a lighter to melt down the cone. A pair of pliers to remove the screw and a knife to pry the ball barings lose and it popped right off in less than 5 mins
Melted the end off with a match and the spring popped right out. Took needle nosed pliers and pulled out the metal cylinder around the needle. Ball bearings and everything came out. Ink tag slipped apart. My mom bought me this great bag when she was on vacation and they left the tag on. I was so bummed bc I haven't been able to use it yet, and now I can. Thanks!
I combined your instruction with the fire method because the piece that covered mine was way to big and hard to break apart without help. But I didn't want to burn the entire thing for fear of setting the article on fire. In any case, I found everything I needed to know here on this one feed. Took me all of about 2 minutes once I sat down with it. I did wrap the ink cartridge tightly with saran wrap first (just in case). You saved me a trip back to the mall. Many thanks!!!
I burned the tip of the ink tab with a lighter, pulled the spring out and tipped it upside down and the rest of the parts fell out. Took less then a minute. I didn't have my receipt and I really wanted to wear my new jeans. Why don't cashiers check the clothes before bagging them? It's so aggravating.
all i did was wrap a plastic bag around plastic end that has the ink inside tighltly. then broke the whole thing off with my hand and all the ink stayed inside the bag. didnt damage my pants at all.
THANK YOU !!! I used a Dremel Tool (as I am a handy man). I got it off in 40 seconds thanks to your video. I cut the cone all the way around about 2/3rds the way 'up' the cone. Once cut, I just used needle nose pliers and pulled all the guts out. WIN !!!
idk why so many people dislike this video, cuz it helped me more than the other one that has more likes than this. I burned the thing off, and then pulled the spring out, and put a magnet on the tip of the needle, and then the two pieces easily pulled apart :D thanx for the help.
i did the light the dome end on fire, took 10 sec, super easy, just light the fuckkk out of it, the spring shoots out, and be careful with the pin. wire snip it if you got to.
I bought some jeans across the border(from canada to the states), and low and behold the nearest clothing store removed the tag for me, and obviously without a receipt as it was a completely different store. It's probably a common occurrence though, if the shopkeeper doesn't have any experience in the area then they are much more likely to refuse assistance. They are unlikely to accuse you of anything though unless they carry the exact same clothing item(s) in their store.
I just used a kitchen knife. A lil ink spilled but It was denim jeans so you barely can see it. plus its by the waist area, so a shirt will cover it up
Thank you so much!!! My vacation is tomorrow and I was washing clothes when I found this on my bathing suit. I'm going to the beach and I was devistated. I wouldn't have time to go back to the store but after watching these videos, I removed I successfully!! I'm just so glad someone's stupid carelessness didn't knock me out of swimming! :)
Thanks for giving me the confidence to try this. I bought a dress this evening and didn't know the ink tag was on the dress until 11 PM -- stores closed. I need to wear this dress to my father's funeral tomorrow morning. I was frantic. I cut off the tip and the spring came out, but I couldn't see any bearings. I took a strong refrigerator magnet, held it to the exposed metal plate (which I couldn't remove), turned it over so the ink part was on top and it just came apart. Thanks again!
I took a tag off my hat that was bought in Florida at disney. I live in texas. When my family got home the tag was discovered. I used a series a small drill bits the biggest being 1/4" started small and drilled the small pinhole that was there to start. You just need to drill it big enough to remove the spring. then just wiggle it gently and comes apart.
Thanks SO much! I burned the top off then followed your instructions and it worked out perfectly! Now I can wear my cute pants to see American Idol tomorrow!
Retardedly long video. I removed one of the things today. I took a hacksaw and cut around the circumference of the plastic cap to remove its tip. The internal mechanism with the spring, plunger and steel balls then popped out, and the cap slid easily off the pin.
P.S. it's not a ball bearing! The balls apply pressure to the pin creating friction so that the cap is difficult to remove. It can probably be pried off with enough force: but the fragile ink capsules are exactly where you would pry.
the suggested comment to simply melt the pointed end worked beautifully for me! it took a bit longer than 5 seconds but after a minute or so of melting and burning off of the thin exterior shell of plastic around the tip, i was able to pop out the spring and the device detached! no ink catastrophe! thanks for the advice!
yeah it has helped me pilfer so much merchandise from the local clothing store that i can quit my day job now and follow my dream of swiping stuff from clothing stores and palming it off at a much lower price.
Can you wrap the ink side of the tag in a plastic bag and secure the plastic tightly with elastic band before you try in case it goes off or is a newer version that can't be done this way?
Never had to do it so far and hoping I never have to. Lol
WOO HOO!! It worked!! I bought a hat @ Spencer's for my winter baby that's due in a couple of weeks and the guy forgot to take the tag off, And I couldn't find my receipt.
What I did was:
1. Melt the top of the cone part.
2. There's a little metal piece and the top of the cone part, you can easily pop that off.
3. Under that little metal piece is a plastic piece pop that off too.
4. The spring thingy just take that off.
5. The ball bearings was the easiest to get off took a pointy knife, a WALA
Thank you so much. I had an interview the next day. I purchased a white shirt got home and there was the cone. I was angry at first, thank God for you and the internet. Folks just melt the top, pop everything out and pull the cone and the flat piece a part.
Thanks! I recently bought some clothes at JCP only to get home and find a tag left on one of my new shirts. Once we got the case off all we needed was a a strong magnet to get the ball bearings to pop right out
With a bit of patience and some various sharp metal objects such as wood carving tools and giant kitchen knifes that you are okay with ruining, the gouging into the non-ink side of the ink tag does indeed work.
@ghostikailo I do appreciate the feedback. I'll reiterate that at the time I made this video, there were no other suggestions to burn the plastic tip. I did the best I could with that information I could find. My video was the first on youtube that I could find that involved this particular style of ink tag, which involved a plastic tip and ball bearings.
@xaruiz You are the one that made it possible for me to do that:), thank u very much. Once u told me that the ink was in the other part, and there was a spring:):). Thank u very much.
@ghostikailo I did what you said. My girl friend bought a shirt tonight and the stupid people left the security tag on it. Lite the pointy end on first until the spring comes out. then pull/shake back and fourth pulling on it until it comes off.
@ghostikailo I think that this video is stupid and wrong. I work in Loss Prevention for a retailer and by you guys posting this type of info you are helping people brake the laws and are causing losses to company's. This video and info should be removed a.s.a.p.
@sexybishop32 and this is why u fail. first off i seriously doubt some ones gonna go burn ink tabs at a store. second if they do that secures ur job so what the hell do u care. you should be encouraging theft. this is America that's how it works. if your job is to prevent theft, the last thing u want to do is come up with a way that does that, because if u do well u dont have a job any more. so stop nerd raging on the internet.

@ghostikailo burning the tip off to expose the spring worked AWESOME!! take out spring and carefully remonve silver casing to expose bearings. easy removal with tweasers and off it came. Took all of 5 min.
@ghostikailo I used a heat gun to remove it. Same as a lighter but no risk in burning clothes. The funny thing is that when I entered stores the alarm always went off. I thought it was just the little beep the alarms make when people past by so I ignored it. Nobody even bat an eye at me. I notice at home see this comment before seeing the video and bam, problem solved. I could have stolen $1000 worth of clothing and gotten away with it!
Thank you so much!!!!I got a shirt from JCP and they forgot to take off the ink tag I was going out that night and noticed the tag before we had left. I used a knife to burn/melt off the top of the dome then took the pieces out. This was a life saver!!! :D
This was very helpful. After a while of watching videos and such I just burnt the top of the dome and then took out the pieces of it which works as well. You can do it with that hat but i see where it would have been tricky
i see how ur suppose to take the ball bearings out with the kitchen knife, but the hardest part is getting the plastic off. I was thinking the lighter becuase the whole filing it down looks like it takes a long ass time. u mentioned the lighter and then said in my case i already got the plastic off.. how did u get it off?? u dont say..

i work@jcpenneys&i bought my mom a outfit.well got home&it had ink tag on it.shes on her way so i tried lighter method&it workd.my tag is very similar2the1n this video.i just meltd the cone peeld back the plastic and poped out all the pieces&it released!i know i shoulda just taken it back2work&gotten it taken off but its a half hr drive&im off 2morrow.so thanks4this video even tho u didnt use lighter it gave me courage knowin it could b done!
I had this happen to me today! I bought a hoodie from JCPenny's, and didn't discover the ink tag until I got home...and I live 30 minutes from the store. So, I did as this video suggested, but what happened was when I popped out the center metal ring, I guess the force of prying it out busted the glass ink tubes. Anyhow, it didn't really matter, because my hoodie was dark grey, and also I scrubbed the spot with "Tuff Stuff" spray...then threw it in the wash. You can't tell at all...
@biomed30 Was it a South Pole hoodie? That was the brand of mine, I haven't gotten the tag off, but I think those tags are defective and badly placed.
@andrwlee Although I appreciate the suggestion, I didn't have my receipt and not all stores use the same style of ink cartridge. If you've read other comments here, people have had issue with the stores accusing them of theft or getting the cops involved. I couldn't take it back to the original store either because it is in another state. How would someone "forget the ink is liquid". Why do you think people go through such effort to make sure it doesn't break on them?
I think you'll find that the ink in that particular tag will freeze if you put it in your home freezer! You can pry alot of the ink capsules out with a small screwdriver without breaking them!
i had a bag with an ink tag like that, but that tag had 4 ink canisters in it, and the tag itself was black.....
to remove it i shoved a screwdriver in it and pulled it appart, i don't it twice on 2 bags and the ink didn't explode.........those tags don't do anything except make the sensors beep....
THIS HELPED SOOO MUCH!!! i had almost the exact same experience as you! I bought a throw blanket from disney paris and then went back to london and noticed it was still there :P and none of the videos had the right style of tag :) and i read the exact same ehow article as you, with the screw driver, lighter and rubber band methods. that's soo weird :D
I just kept pulling, slowly but with increasing strength. But don't go too far.... if you think its going to break the ink capsules, then stop and come back to it. Give it a day or two... a few minutes each day and tada.... it came off without breaking the ink capsules.
Skip to 3:40 if you do not wish to sit through my lengthy explanation. Criticism is always appreciated. I apologize the video is longer than what most people would prefer. I'd redo it if I still had the ink tag.
My intention was to explain the methods I tried but were unsuccessful due to the different style of the ink tag. If you are unhappy with anything less than that, please spare me your pointless comments.
OMG IT WORKS! Thank you for saving me the trip back to the store and headache to get this thing removed. I bought a shirt for my son and when I got home realized the ink sensor was on it. I thought no prob I'll just take it back but could not find my receipt, my only proof I had purchased it and not stolen it. The one time I pay with cash and not use my debit card ARGHH. But just slice off the top point and it all falls apart, thanks!
@LOKOGONO I took a shirt back to the store one time. I even had the receipt with me and they accused me of shoplifting and called the cops. Even with the receipt and the person who rang me up confirmed I bought it, I had to let the cops talk to my bank and confirm the debit card transaction. So yeah. Fuck taking it back to the store. Fuck the store.
Watched this video, and got inspired to use a file to file away the cone section. Uncovering a metal cover piece, I then filed down to a plastic covering, which when filed away shot a spring out in the air, and left those pesky ball berings exposed. Got them out and popped off my ink tag. Thanks!
Ok first the hat rocks, second the person who made this video is a girl with a slightly raspy voice, and third you really shouldn't call people names before getting to know them...oh and one more thing don't insult people that are just trying to help!!
My mom bought me some pants from JC Penney and when I got back to my apartment in another city I noticed the ink tag still on. I don't have a car and the closest JC Penney is almost 15 miles away, and I didn't have the receipt.
I used a Dremel to get the plastic off. It only took a couple of minutes. :)
Oh My!! Thank you... came home from mall with son's new shirt for valentine's dance and found the ink tag still on. No time to go back to the store.. so I burned the tip of the cone with a lighter.. it kind of bubbled and then exposed the spring that fell out. The metal casing was a little tricky.. used a knife tip and pried it to the tip of the pin and once that was off the ball bearings fell out and released the tag. Thanks again!
i never thought of that, good idea! just happened to me today. bought a shirt & hat, dumbass forgot to take off the tags, so we wrapped the ink part with a plastic shopping bag, snapped off the other part and cut.
i just melted the cone top a little bit, pulled out the spring with needle nose pliers, and took the needle nose pliers and pulled out the metal piece and all the bearings came popping out. But just as a precaution i had plastic bags underneath the piece on each side just in case it broke. thank you for the tips!
or go to a store show receipt then they will remove it for you

This was very helpful. After a while of watching videos and such I just burnt the top of the dome and then took out the pieces of it which works as well. You can do it with that hat but i see where it would have been tricky

i see how ur suppose to take the ball bearings out with the kitchen knife, but the hardest part is getting the plastic off. I was thinking the lighter becuase the whole filing it down looks like it takes a long ass time. u mentioned the lighter and then said in my case i already got the plastic off.. how did u get it off?? u dont say..

just use neodymium magnets that is how they release them in the stores. but you have to have a fairly strong one.

I had this happen to me today! I bought a hoodie from JCPenny's, and didn't discover the ink tag until I got home...and I live 30 minutes from the store. So, I did as this video suggested, but what happened was when I popped out the center metal ring, I guess the force of prying it out busted the glass ink tubes. Anyhow, it didn't really matter, because my hoodie was dark grey, and also I scrubbed the spot with "Tuff Stuff" spray...then threw it in the wash. You can't tell at all...

@biomed30 Was it a South Pole hoodie? That was the brand of mine, I haven't gotten the tag off, but I think those tags are defective and badly placed.

@andrwlee Although I appreciate the suggestion, I didn't have my receipt and not all stores use the same style of ink cartridge. If you've read other comments here, people have had issue with the stores accusing them of theft or getting the cops involved. I couldn't take it back to the original store either because it is in another state. How would someone "forget the ink is liquid". Why do you think people go through such effort to make sure it doesn't break on them?

I think you'll find that the ink in that particular tag will freeze if you put it in your home freezer! You can pry alot of the ink capsules out with a small screwdriver without breaking them!

i had a bag with an ink tag like that, but that tag had 4 ink canisters in it, and the tag itself was black.....
to remove it i shoved a screwdriver in it and pulled it appart, i don't it twice on 2 bags and the ink didn't explode.........those tags don't do anything except make the sensors beep....

THIS HELPED SOOO MUCH!!! i had almost the exact same experience as you! I bought a throw blanket from disney paris and then went back to london and noticed it was still there :P and none of the videos had the right style of tag :) and i read the exact same ehow article as you, with the screw driver, lighter and rubber band methods. that's soo weird :D
wowzeeo 1 year ago
I just kept pulling, slowly but with increasing strength. But don't go too far.... if you think its going to break the ink capsules, then stop and come back to it. Give it a day or two... a few minutes each day and tada.... it came off without breaking the ink capsules.

Skip to 3:40 if you do not wish to sit through my lengthy explanation. Criticism is always appreciated. I apologize the video is longer than what most people would prefer. I'd redo it if I still had the ink tag.
My intention was to explain the methods I tried but were unsuccessful due to the different style of the ink tag. If you are unhappy with anything less than that, please spare me your pointless comments.

OMG IT WORKS! Thank you for saving me the trip back to the store and headache to get this thing removed. I bought a shirt for my son and when I got home realized the ink sensor was on it. I thought no prob I'll just take it back but could not find my receipt, my only proof I had purchased it and not stolen it. The one time I pay with cash and not use my debit card ARGHH. But just slice off the top point and it all falls apart, thanks!

@LOKOGONO I took a shirt back to the store one time. I even had the receipt with me and they accused me of shoplifting and called the cops. Even with the receipt and the person who rang me up confirmed I bought it, I had to let the cops talk to my bank and confirm the debit card transaction. So yeah. Fuck taking it back to the store. Fuck the store.

Watched this video, and got inspired to use a file to file away the cone section. Uncovering a metal cover piece, I then filed down to a plastic covering, which when filed away shot a spring out in the air, and left those pesky ball berings exposed. Got them out and popped off my ink tag. Thanks!

I would like to tell you this video is waaaaay too long and makes the process look complicated.
Here is what I did and it only took me 1 minute:
1. Burn the top part of the cop (non ink side)
2. Scrap away what you burned with a household knife
3. There is a spring, don't be afraid and just slowly pop it out
4. Cover up the ink side with tape and jiggle it a bit
5. Voila it comes apart very easily, no need to worry about the "balls"
It's so simple

Ok first the hat rocks, second the person who made this video is a girl with a slightly raspy voice, and third you really shouldn't call people names before getting to know them...oh and one more thing don't insult people that are just trying to help!!

Your tutorial is really helpful!
My mom bought me some pants from JC Penney and when I got back to my apartment in another city I noticed the ink tag still on. I don't have a car and the closest JC Penney is almost 15 miles away, and I didn't have the receipt.
I used a Dremel to get the plastic off. It only took a couple of minutes. :)

Oh My!! Thank you... came home from mall with son's new shirt for valentine's dance and found the ink tag still on. No time to go back to the store.. so I burned the tip of the cone with a lighter.. it kind of bubbled and then exposed the spring that fell out. The metal casing was a little tricky.. used a knife tip and pried it to the tip of the pin and once that was off the ball bearings fell out and released the tag. Thanks again!

i just melted the cone top a little bit, pulled out the spring with needle nose pliers, and took the needle nose pliers and pulled out the metal piece and all the bearings came popping out. But just as a precaution i had plastic bags underneath the piece on each side just in case it broke. thank you for the tips!
DannieDead13 2 years ago

Helped, but to make it more clear you should say that it's an ultra-ink tag (put it in the tags for the video)
And mention something about the spring/inner rubbery/plasticy thingy
