How much would it cost to remove this small tattoo from my finger? (Photo)

Question

It’s located on my right hand, 4th finger. Half of it is already faded but I was wondering how many sessions would it take to remove and roughly how much would it cost.

Your tattoo should able to be removed completely. Find the best laser in your area to cut down on number of treatments. Here are my recommendations. Good luck.Tattoo removal, if not done correctly, can result in either scarring or ghosting.  Here are some tips:
Find a reputable office with a Pico laser. It produces faster results with less scarring than a nano alone.  Tattoo removal shops are not as reputable as a Doctor. Many of these shops close as quickly as they open, leaving you out of luck on pre-paid packages.Stay out of the sun— sunlight can be harmful to healing in after any laser procedureAvoid infections- This means keep your tattoo area clean (i.e. don’t garden right after a tattoo removal on your arm, etc), don’t pick scabs or blisters if they occur.  Follow our post procedure instructions.  Avoid swimming for 48 hours as water can infect the treated areas.Allow healing between treatment sessions- typically 4-8 weeks.Be healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles. Being healthy will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healing. Drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, and eat vitamin enriched foods.In our practice we utilize the currently most powerful Pico laser on the market called the PiQo4 by Lumenis.  The main advantage of a stronger tattoo laser (combining nano and pico wavelengths at greater power) is faster breakup of the tattoo.  The science of tattoo removal is complex but essentially the greater power will photo acoustically break up tattoo particles in smaller pieces.

Hi, our clinic is located in Northwest Houston and we currently have some great deals. We would charge you $59 a treatment. As it is already faded, you would need anywhere from 4-6 treatments. Check out our prices in the link below and give us a call.

Thanks for posting! In our office we would charge around $100 per session. It's always difficult to give an exact number of treatments, but I'd guess around 4-5 treatments for removal. Best of luck, Dr. M

Every office has a different price point, often times depending on the size per square inch of the tattoo. This tattooi may cost $250-300 per session, with maybe 3-4 sessions using the Enlighten3 laser. I cannot say with 100% certainty because it's difficult to see the ink depth and quality with that photo.
