How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Tattoo?

The cost of removing a tattoo is substantial. It usually far exceeds the original cost of getting the tattoo in the first place. Laser tattoo removal generally costs between $150-$700 per laser treatment session. The total cost of removing a tattoo will depend on the number of treatment sessions required to remove a tattoo, and can often run thousands of dollars. Your physician will discuss the estimated cost and number of treatments required to remove your specific tattoo. Your physician may also discuss possible package and financing options with you. The factors that will determine the number of treatments may be the size of the tattoo, the part of the body on which the tattoo is located, and the colors used in the tattoo.

Insurance?

You may be asking yourself if medical insurance may cover this expense. Generally it doesn’t as laser tattoo removal is typically considered a cosmetic procedure. If your tattoo is a “trauma tattoo”, a tattoo caused during an accident, then you may want to contact your insurance provider and discuss your options.

Low-Cost Providers

These days it seems there are a number of cheap "laser surgeons" offering discount laser surgery. There are no “deals” in laser medicine. Unlike buying a car, or some other commodity, laser medicine is MEDICINE. Its critical to go to a qualified provider. For more on this see our How to Choose a Tattoo Removal Provider.
