What factors affect the
cost of tattoo removal?
Tattoo removal pricing isn't one-size-fits-all. The cost of your treatment will depend on several key factors:
1. Tattoo Size
Larger tattoos take longer to treat than smaller ones, so they naturally cost more per session. For example, a small wrist tattoo will be priced very differently from a full sleeve.
2. Location on the Body
Where your tattoo sits on the body matters. Some areas respond faster to laser treatment than others, which can affect the number of sessions required and therefore your overall investment.
3. Your Desired Outcome: Full Removal vs. Lightening for a Cover-Up
Full removal takes longer than simply lightening a tattoo to prepare for a cover-up design. If your goal is a cover-up, you may need as little as one session, depending on the tattoo and the cover design your artist has in mind. Full removal typically requires more sessions across a longer timeline.
4. Ink Pigment & Colours
Tattoos with a single colour, particularly black ink, are generally the most straightforward to treat. Multi-coloured tattoos and certain ink types can present additional complexities, requiring a more tailored treatment approach to safely target the different pigments while prioritising the health and integrity of your skin. Our medical-grade lasers are highly effective across a wide range of ink colours, allowing us to customise each treatment to achieve the best possible outcome while supporting optimal healing between sessions.
5. Age of the Tattoo
Older tattoos have often already begun to fade naturally, which can make them easier to remove. Newer tattoos with fresh, deeply set ink may take slightly longer. Our team will assess this during your free consultation.
How many tattoo removal sessions will I need?
On average, full tattoo removal requires 8 to 10 sessions. This is consistent across the industry, regardless of where you live, as long as you're being treated with the correct medical-grade laser technology by a skilled and experienced technician.
If you're looking to lighten your tattoo for a cover-up, you may achieve the results you need in as little as 1 session, depending on the tattoo and the cover design.
At your free consultation, our team will give you a clear session estimate based on your specific tattoo and goals, so you know exactly what you're committing to before you begin.
