What is the price of tattoo removal?

There is a trend of people wanting to remove tattoos that once seemed cool but are now a nightmare. Especially when they are in very visible areas or represent past relationships.

There are different methods, but the most effective continues to be laser tattoo removal. One method involves injecting lactic acid, which supposedly expels the pigments, but it hasn’t been thoroughly tested or at least the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) is not sure it works without leaving scars.

So nowadays, the best method is with Switched laser, and the process usually consists of 3 to 7 sessions. Some people need 2, others 10, depending on the size and location on the body.

As a general rule, tattoo removal costs between $150 and $400, and the process involves transferring the pigments from the skin, where they are stored, to the body, which expels them through urine. Today, it’s the best way to completely get rid of them or in some cases, partially. It’s not always possible to remove them entirely.

How to calculate the cost of tattoo removal

  • Size
  • Colors
  • Skin type
  • Time since you got it

Tattoo removalThe larger a tattoo is, the more it costs to remove it. A small design can fade and be completely removed in 1 or 2 sessions. On the other hand, if your entire back is covered in ink, many more sessions will be needed.

After the first session, you need to wait for your skin to recover and get rid of the pigments. For small tattoos, it’s common for 80-90% to disappear after the first day. The rest will be handled in the next session.

But this is just the theory. More factors come into play, like the ones mentioned. The type of colors, whether they are light or dark. Lighter colors are harder to remove than they seem. This is due to the laser technology, which struggles to detect lighter tones. Black pigment lines are easier to remove.

Keep in mind that if the tattoo is large, removing it completely is a difficult task. You may have some marks left, and you might never fully erase it. So, it’s important to find a professional with experience in this type of tattoos.

Price to completely remove a tattoo

Smaller areas with tiny tattoos may cost between $150 and $200. This includes if you need to visit the clinic or studio once or twice to complete the process. That is, the sessions required to completely remove the tattoo, without leaving any pigment.

If we are talking about a medium-sized tattoo, removal may cost between $500 and $1000. It will also depend on the size. It’s hard to say without seeing it in person, but most designs and tattoos on the skin with many details can fall into this category. Smaller tattoos are typically names, small flowers. Generally, it’s the first tattoo a person gets.

The most complex and hardest tattoos to remove completely due to their size and amount of pigment are large tattoos. These may cost $2000 or $3000, or even more. Additionally, the process is quite slow because progress is made gradually with each session, allowing time for the skin to recover. So, we could be talking about months or even years to complete the tattoo removal process.

Results of tattoo removal

As mentioned earlier, some people manage to completely remove their tattoos, while others will still have some lines or marks that are impossible to erase. However, it’s worth noting that nowadays it’s much more common to be able to remove a tattoo completely.

In the past, the process was done through surgery, which caused scars and poor experiences. Today, the results are very good, and people are generally satisfied. And in cases where the tattoo doesn’t completely disappear, time often does its part and eventually fades the tattoo. It’s a small push that’s sometimes necessary. Some small shades that seem to evaporate.
