Today I will be taking a few minutes and answering a question that many people with tattoos have. The question that seems to weigh on everyone’s mind who has a tattoo that they are unhappy with is how much does tattoo removal cost?



There are several factors that come into play when determining the laser tattoo removal cost. In this article, I will take a few minutes and discuss these factors as well as give you some ballpark figure’s of what you might have to pay to have your tattoo removed.

Let’s start off first by talking about the factors that contribute to the cost of tattoo removal. All tattoos are a little bit different in the way they are configured and were applied. Each tattoo artist has his own particular style and there will be slight variations in the quality or density of the ink in your tattoo based on the tattoo artists tattooing style. Let me run down the list of factors that contribute to tattoo removal cost.

  • The amount of ink in your tattoo may play a role in how much it will cost you to have your tattoo removed.  Some tattoos are very faint and contain very little ink like homemade tattoos or tattoos that are simply shaded very lightly. 
  • The color of the tattoo ink may play a role in determining the price that you will pay as well.  When it comes to laser tattoo removal, several different lasers will be needed if you have colored tattoo ink in your tattoo.  This will undoubtedly increase the cost of tattoo removal to you.
  •  The depth of the tattoo will also play a role.  Most professional tattoo artists are pretty good at controlling the depth of the tattoo ink and making sure that it is deposited in the proper layer of skin but some people who give homemade tattoos aren’t so adept at getting this just right.  If the ink in your tattoo was deposited especially deep, it’s going to cost you more then if the tattoo ink was deposited very shallow or at the proper depth.
  • Your individual body will also affect the cost of tattoo removal.  Some people will have bodies that metabolize the broken down ink faster and some people will regenerate skin faster than others.
  • Another factor that will contribute to how much you’ll have to pay is whether you decide to use a home tattoo removal product or you decide to go in and have a tattoo removal clinic take care of the tattoo removal for you.
  • If you decide to go to a tattoo removal clinic, you will pay more depending upon your geographic location.  It stands to reason that you will pay more for tattoo removal in Beverly Hills, California than you might in a small town in Oklahoma.
  • If you decide to have your tattoo removed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, you will  pay more than if you use a home tattoo removal product or you when got to a tattoo removal clinic.

A popular question that people have who are interested in laser tattoo removal is how much does laser tattoo removal cost?  As I mentioned above, there are many factors that contribute to the cost of laser tattoo removal but as a general rule, laser tattoo removal is going to be very expensive.  According to infoplasticsurgery.com which is a web site run by a plastic surgeon out of Ohio, the average cost per treatment session for laser tattoo removal is between $200 and $500 a session.   They also report that some tattoos can be removed in as few as five treatment sessions but others may take as many as twenty.  This means that you may have to pay as little as $1,000 or as much as $10,000 if you choose laser tattoo removal. It’s important to understand that you will have to go in for several treatments sessions to fully remove your tattoo.  If laser tattoo removal technicians are too aggressive and try to remove too much ink in one session, the risks of complication goes up significantly. Many of the same factors that contribute to the cost of laser tattoo removal also contribute to laser hair removal cost.

Another very expensive method of tattoo removal is excision tattoo removal. If you choose this option, you will pay about the same as you would pay if your laser tattoo removal.

Many people who are interested in do it yourself tattoo removal also ask the question of how much does tattoo removal cost?  You will be pleased to know that home tattoo removal is much less expensive than laser tattoo removal.  The cost of tattoo removal at home is also determined by the factors that I’ve mentioned above.
