Introduction
Tattoos are meant to last forever-but personal style, life choices, and career requirements can change. That's why laser tattoo removal has become one of the fastest-growing treatments in the cosmetic industry. However, one of the most frequently asked questions is: How much does it really cost to remove a tattoo?
The short answer is: It depends-on the size, colors, and age of the tattoo, as well as the technology and provider used. In this article, we'll break down all the cost factors associated with laser tattoo removal and introduce a cost-effective solution for clinics: NewAngie's professional-grade tattoo removal machines.
Average Cost of Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is typically priced per session, and most tattoos require multiple sessions for full removal.
Typical Per-Session Costs:
| Tattoo Size | Estimated Cost per Session |
|---|---|
| Small (1–2 inches) | $75 – $150 |
| Medium (3–6 inches) | $150 – $300 |
| Large (7+ inches) | $300 – $500+ |
Total Cost Estimate:
Since most tattoos require 6–10 sessions, the total cost could range from:
- $500 – $1,000 for small tattoos
- $1,500 – $3,000 for medium tattoos
- $3,000 – $5,000+ for large, complex, or multicolor tattoos
Factors That Influence Tattoo Removal Costs
-
Tattoo Size and Detail
More complex, larger tattoos take longer to treat and require more laser pulses and more time per treatment.
-
Ink Colors
Black ink is easiest to remove and generally costs less.
Color inks like red, yellow, and blue require specialized wavelengths and more sessions, increasing the price.
-
Tattoo Location
Areas with poor blood circulation (like ankles or hands) may take longer to fade, increasing the number of required treatments.
-
Skin Type
For darker skin, the laser energy cannot be set as high to avoid pigmentation changes, and the number of treatments required will increase.
-
Laser Technology Used
Clinics using advanced laser equipment such as picosecond or Q-switched lasers typically charge more-but provide better, faster results.
Why Laser Tattoo Removal Is Worth the Investment
Although it may seem expensive, laser tattoo removal is a safe, non-invasive and long-lasting solution. It has the following advantages:
- It is gentle and effective with fewer side effects than surgical removal
- The risk of scarring is minimal
- The treatment area can be precisely targeted without damaging the surrounding skin
- Increases confidence and gives you the freedom to choose a new tattoo or keep it as is
- Compared to creams or acid products, laser removal is extremely safe and effective.
Helps clinic save costs
If you own a cosmetic clinic, dermatology clinic or aesthetic agency, offering tattoo removal services can be lucrative, especially with the right equipment.
By investing in your own tattoo removal system, you can:
- Better prices for your clients
- Increase your clinic's ROI
- No need to outsource treatments
