Getting a tattoo itself is an expensive procedure. So it's better to think twice before getting a tattoo as if you wish to have the tattoo removed after a few years time, you will have to pay a huge sum for this too.

While there are various tattoo removal options available, the safest, most efficient but most expensive option available is laser surgery. Laser tattoo removal costs are dependant on various factors like the tattoo size, its color and your skin type.

Moreover, laser tattoo remotion cannot be performed overnight. Its treatment is spread over a few weeks. This is why you have to work out the right payment structure and financing for laser tattoo remotion with your tattoo removal specialist.

Treatments spread over gaps

Large, colored tattoos will need about thousands of dollars for its removal. Moreover, each laser tattoo remotion is performed after a gap of 2 and a half months so that the skin gets time to heal and your body immune system has sufficient time to expel some of the ink from the body.

Laser surgery of small, colored tattoos cost only a few hundred dollars as fewer treatments are required here. Moreover, the gap between consequent treatments is only a few weeks or a month.

Usually, the tattoo gets completely unnoticeable after all the laser tattoo remotion treatments. However this is not a 100% guarantee. Sometimes the tattoos may only get lighter in color, and become less obvious because of reduced size and color.

Laser surgery costs are worth it

Besides laser tattoo remotion costs, some clinics also charge an initial consultation fee which may not however be added to your laser surgery costs if you plan to have your treatment with the same clinic.

Though removing tattoo from laser surgery is an expensive process, it should stand in your way to remove an unwanted tattoo. This is because the emotional and mental relief you experience once the unwanted picture, name or word is removed from your body is worth any amount.

Just keep realistic expectations before undergoing laser tattoo removal as there is a chance of the tattoo not getting completely removed. Moreover, you have to ensure you have the finance ready for laser surgery to remove tattoos as it is not covered by health insurance carriers. You also have to be willing to take care of your skin after laser surgery to ensure it works for you.
