Hello and thanks for the great photos!

Yes, you can get this tattoo removed with laser treatments. Just a few thoughts though as you proceed. You have multiple colors which takes longer than just black. You need to go to someone with the right laser that has all the right wavelengths to remove each color you have. The easiest to remove is black, then the reds and yellows, then the greens and blues in order of increasing difficulty. You should wait about a month in between treatments, so it will take a while. I would think maybe 8 treatments if all goes well. Make an appointment with a Doctor who has experience removing tattoos with laser treatmetments. Wishing you good luck.

Hello, thanks for your question. Your tattoo looks pretty new, so first, I would wait until it is completely healed which might take 4 or more weeks. Once it is healed up, I would go get an in person consultation with a Doctor who specializes in laser tattoo removal. It is impossible to tell you an exact amount of treatments or if it will scar as this depends on so many factors including depth and amount of ink, type of ink, type of laser, what skin type you have, how good your body's immune system is, how much sun you get typically, and the skill of the laser operator. It will probably take at least 6 treatments each one a month later than the previous one, so it is definitely a process that you have to stick with, but it is definitely possible. Good luck to you!

With the right laser, it should only take around 4 treatments as your tattoos look pretty light. I would get a consultation with a laser tattoo removal Doctor in person. Hope that helps!

Hello,

It will probably take at least 6 treatments to remove your tattoo, but it depends on a lot of different factors. If you can post some pictures, it would be easier to answer your question. Prices vary by region and skill of the tattoo removal laser operator. It might range from $150 a treatment on up.
