Looking at the cost of different products and methods for removing tattoos can be confusing when you’re trying to actually come up with the real, total cost of removing a tattoo. It’s often very hard to determine such a thing only looking at information online or in a reference book because much of the factors influencing the cost of tattoo removal is going to be unique to your specific tattoo. This issue aside though, let’s look the data we do know as it relates to how much it costs and see if we can help better understand this ourselves.
First of all, many people gravitate towards inexpensive solutions in an effort to save money. This includes using over the counter products like TCA skin peels or tattoo removal cream products such as Wrecking Balm. While many people, somewhat suprisingly, have claimed success with these products, the cost associated with them is misleading. For instance, while a bottle of Wrecking Balm costs around $100 for a 1 month supply, you will need far more than 1 months worth of application to see tattoo fading. You might need to do it for a full year to see the results you want. This means it’s going to cost a whole lot more than the expense of just this first bottle of tattoo removing gel.
What’s better is to look at the methods we know work: specifically, laser tattoo removal. This is a tried and true technique, and yet it’s expensive, even more expensive than the true cost of cheap tattoo removal products.
Laser treatments start around $100 per session and it can take a dozen or two dozen sessions to complete the process. Obviously how many sessions depend on variables unique to your tattoo – such as the size, the age, and the colors used. But expect to spend between $1,000 and $3,000 removing your tattoo using laser treatments.
