Cost of Laser Tattoo Removal

Factors determining the price you will pay for Laser Tattoo Removal include:
•the color of the inks
•type of ink used for the tattoo
•size of the tattoo
•the depth of a tattoo.

The type of tattoo you have also plays a role in how much tattoo removal will cost. Many amateur tattoos take at least one to four treatments that are scheduled anywhere from four to eight weeks apart.

Most doctors will charge a price per square inch charge for tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal treatments usually start at $24-$49 per square inch, per treatment and can range as high as $100 - $150. Most doctors can give you a free initial consultation to determine a price.
