Would It Be Cheaper to Remove Several Tattoos at Once? (photo)

Question

I have three tattoos that I need removed. I already asked a previous question earlier. But I am adding a picture to get a more indepth answer, in removing my tattoos. How much on an estimate would it cost? and how long? The multi coloured bird is the Oldest about 2 years old and the other two were just done this year. The tattoo artist didnt do a very good job and I just want them gone. My skin isnt as dark as it shows in the pictures, I was tanned that day.

it is difficult to estimate the cost of removal without better pictures and accurate sizes (height x width). A good estimate is about $25 per sq inch per treatment. When you buy a package of multiple treatments there is usually a discount given. When you are having more than one tattoo removed there is generally a bit more of a discount. Remember than one color, black tattoos are esier and faster to remove than multicolored ones especially with blues and greens. There are too many variables to say how long it takes. Factors include the type of laser being used, the ink used, the depth of the ink, the consistency of the depth, the color of ink, the skin color and more. If an average black tattoo is being treated with a pico laser you can estimate 6-8 treatments to do an adequate job of removal. Good Luck!

You can certainly address all these tattoos at each session.  The most effective and fastest method to remove these tattoos is via the Picosure laser tattoo system by Cynosure.  I utilize this tattoo removal laser in my office and it is setting the new standard for the laser tattoo removal industry.  You may contact my office for additional pricing details.
