Tattoo Removal Prices
Laser Tattoo Removal
The cost of laser removal will range quite a bit depending upon where you have it done. It should only be done by a licensed doctor.
The cost can fluctuate between $200 and $600 per session. Multiple visits are usually required. The number of sessions will depend on the the size of the tattoo, types of lasers, color of the ink, the amount of ink, and the particular doctor who is doing the procedure.
You should shop around to get the best price. It's important to find a doctor with a reputation for doing nice work. You will probably get better results from a doctor who does this on a regular basis than a who has only done it a few times.

Reverse Tattooing
You should plan on spending as much as you spend in having the tattoo applied in the first place. The same equipment that the tattoo was applied with is used for the tattoo removal. The technician doing the removal will spend the same amount of time that it took to apply the tattoo so you will pay a proportional amount of money.
