pinterest.com pages rank strongly in image results, and image results are where a stage name most often matches a leaked photograph. Web-result delisting alone leaves those thumbnails returning, so the image index is the request that matters most on this surface.
Left up, 40 exposed copies work out to an estimated $234 a month in diverted subscriptions. Estimate, not a measurement: it assumes 0.45 diverted subscribers per exposed post at an average subscription price of $12.99. Your number depends on your pricing and audience.

Step by step
Search images, not only web results. Run your stage name in image search as well as web search. On pinterest.com the damaging result is almost always the thumbnail rather than the page listing.
Collect pin and board URLs together. Record both the pinterest.com pin pages and the boards holding them. Boards aggregate and often rank on their own for a creator name.
Pair each URL with your original. The copyright delisting request needs your original's location for each infringing pinterest.com URL. Where the material is intimate and non-consensual, the personal-imagery route applies instead.
File the image index explicitly. Image results have their own removal queue. A request against web results does not clear a thumbnail, and the thumbnail is what a name search returns here.
Verify in image search. Re-run the image search after a few days rather than checking web results. That is where the change either happened or did not.
Why the image index matters most on pinterest.com
pinterest.com exists to surface images, and search engines index its pages accordingly. The result that matches a creator's name is usually a thumbnail in image search rather than a blue link in web results.
openDMCA files delisting per URL and verifies with an hourly re-check of whether a submitted URL is genuinely absent. Where a request covers only web results, the verification records that the thumbnail is still returning rather than reporting a clean result.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open the TCRP-format request builder and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on pinterest.com
Image results and web results are separate indexes with separate removal queues, and pinterest.com is the surface where that split does the most damage: a creator can clear every web result for her name and still find her photographs returning as thumbnails, because the request she filed never touched the index that was serving them.
Frequently asked questions
I removed the web results but the images still show.
Image results are a separate index with a separate queue. They need their own request; a web-result removal does not clear them.
Should I file for boards as well as pins?
Yes, where they return for your name. A board aggregates many pins and frequently ranks better than any individual one.
Does delisting remove the pin?
No. It removes the result. The pin stays on pinterest.com until the platform report produces a removal, which runs separately.
