Posted on 06 Apr, 2011

Many people are now choosing laser tattoo removal as an effective way to get rid of their tattoos. It is however very important to see a professional if you want to get rid of your permanent tattoos.

The cost of tattoo removal varies depending on different factors.

Main factors

The size of a tattoo is the most common deciding factor as far as the cost of removal is concerned. Tattoo removal is not a one-day thing, it requires time. There is a number of sessions involved in the process. Also, the expertise and training of an appropriate surgeon and type and extent of a tattoo will decide the tattoo removal costs.

Other factors

Other elements such as the pigment colours used and whether the tattoo has been created by a professional or not also affects the cost. If there are many colours used in a tattoo, removing it becomes a tough job. It directly affects the cost of the removal process. Doctors also consider the level of professionalism involved in making the tattoo before deciding on the removal cost. An amateurish tattoo might be hard to remove.

You should never find the price of removal intimidating; many cosmetic surgeons offer payment plans and finance options to their patients.
