Tattoo Removal Cost

What tattoo removal cost can you expect? The most common form of tattoo removal is with the use of a laser. Although the exact price you'll get depends on factors such as the size, color, age, and quality of your tattoo you can expect to pay around $150-$200 for each removal session (you'll need around 6 sessions). About two months between each session is required to allow the broken down tattoo particles to be safely absorbed by your body.

Although the aforementioned prices will give you a good idea of what to expect, you can end up paying a lot more or a lot less depending on your situation. For example, if you have a small and dark single color tattoo you can get is removed with a couple of sessions at around $1,000. If, however, you have a very large tattoo with a lot of light colors the amount you pay to get it removed can soar to about $10,000. The cost of each session can even be $500! You may also be given anesthesia, which alone can cost $100 for each session.

It's not like you have to pay for the cost to remove the tattoo right away. You can get financing from companies such as CareCredit. You may also opt for a cover up tattoo if the reason you want it removed in the first place is due to the bad design. Also, because tattoo removal is not guaranteed to completely get rid of your tattoo, you may just get a minimal number of treatments and settle for a washed out tattoo.
