Costs of Tattoo Removal

How much does tattoo removal cost? Costs vary according to the size, colour and type of tattoo as this has a direct influence upon the number of treatment sessions required.

A simple black tattoo will be cheaper than a large tattoo with several colours. Amateur tattoos are usually cheaper to remove than professional tattoos as these require more sessions.

As you might imagine the more sessions you need the more expensive the treatment. In this case look for a package in which you pay a set amount for a certain number of sessions.

There may also be an initial consultation fee. If you have to undergo a test patch then expect to pay around £30 to £50 for this.

Prices will vary between clinics so its a case of shopping around to get the best deal for you. But dont be guided by price only: it is important to find a reputable and professional clinic which is concerned with your well being and not just the bottom line!

If you are doing your research on clinics via the internet then you will find that some clinics list their prices on their sites whereas others dont. In those cases you will have to contact the clinic for a quote.
