I have a small black tattoo on the back of my right that is the size of a quarter. I got it 4 years ago. How many sessions would it take to remove this? And how much do you think it will cost? I may have to have this removed in order to join the military.

Answer: Laser and Tattoo Removal
It can take anywhere between 4-12 sessions to remove the tattoo depending on many factors. A board certified dermatologist experienced in laser procedures may charge beween $150-$250 per session. I recommend going to a laser specialist experienced in tattoo removal.

Answer: Black Ink Easy to Remove
Was your tattoo a cover up? Was it professionally done? These are two things that can affect how many treatments you will need. In general, black tattoos of your size are much easier to remove with laser than tattoos that have brighter colors in them such as red, orange and yellow. It could take up to 6 laser treatments done 6-8 weeks apart. The cost of treatment could vary depending on the area you live. Most practices will offer patients numbing cream to ease the discomfort associated with the laser. Make sure you go to a provider experienced in tattoo removal to prevent scarring.
