Average laser tattoo removal costs between $200 - $500 a session. Tattoos can take up to 20 sessions to be removed completely based on a number of factors such as size, and color. Other options are less effective in that they leave behind a scar or heavily discolored patch as well as being incredibly painful. These options include dermabrasion, where the skin is literally sanded away until the tattoo is no longer visible, and surgical excision, where the tattoo is surgically cut away and then the remaining skin is sewn back together. It may be less expensive, and simpler to have the tattoo "covered" with another tattoo.
