Unfortunately, there are no tattoo removal creams on that market that really work.  You must have a laser that will target the ink below the skin.  A complimentary consultation is recommended to answer all of your questions and concerns, as well as getting an exact quote.  We price tattoo removal by how long the session will actually take-to save you money, and not by the size of the tattoo - which is the standard.  Dark colors, especially black, are the easiest to remove.  Leaving yellow and light green/blue the most difficult.  With every unique tattoo and not knowing how deep or superficial the ink was injected, at least 10 treatments could be required.  A local anesthetic may be used at no extra charge during treatment if needed.
