if its not ink, just pull it off. a hard tug and they come right out. or you can cut the plastic away from the pin and pull the pinhead through the cloth, it leaves a tiny hole though. if its ink then i dunno. that shit sucks, it gets everywhere.

isn;t there like a magnetic pin or something?

get a strong magnet and go at it

grind off the head of the pin (on the side with the circular plastic piece) and and just pull the plastic straight off.

I’d say take off a hack saw blade, and just cut the pin into 2.

bad idea, can’t do that without destroying the clothes.

You can also do it by wrapping a rubber band around the small pins side repeatedly, they work based on pressure being applied to a specific spot. A rubber band will distribute the pressure evenly and vertically and cause it to pop off.
