I'm trying to at least fade this tattoo enough for a cover up or maybe get rid of it completely. I'm not 100% sure, but I would like to know how easily it would be to remove it. As you can see it's already faded a bit and it was done by an amateur artist so the ink used was very low quality and it doesn't look that great. My skin is also very fair and healthy. The only ink color used was black.

Answer: Can you use laser tattoo removal for a coverup -Richmond VA Dear Tdupuis Thanks for your question, this is one we get quite often in our practice. Using Smart Laser technology with Rapid Removal we can get your ink faded enough for a cover up in 2-3 sessions. Smart Laser uses picosecond technology, which is the fastest laser tattoo removal technology available. Cost for Smart Laser is based upon the size and amount of ink present in the tattoo. Yours is what would be considered a large tattoo, so the price would be on the more expensive side. Pricing also varies significantly by region. You can get cheap prices on Groupon for salons in a strip mall, but it is your skin we are talking about. There are also all sorts of physicians from family doctors to Emergency Room doctors who are now using lasers, just because they can. I highly recommend a plastic surgeon or dermatologist with laser experience.

Answer: Fade for cover This tattoo although all black is quite large and would come to quite a bit of money for a complete removal which I would estimate to be between 10-12 sessions. Fading would be easier on your tattoo and should respond in about 3 sessions then an artist could cover it with another large tattoo.
