Professional tattoo removal service

Hi everyone. I have a question about cost and number of sessions. I have a medium-sized tattoo (about 4 inches) on my ribs. It's mostly black with some red shading. One clinic quoted me 6 sessions. Another clinic quoted me 12 sessions. Who is telling the truth? How do I know if a clinic is trying to milk me for money vs. being honest about the difficulty?

Great question. Here's the red flag: any clinic that guarantees a specific number of sessions before even seeing your tattoo in person is lying. The number of sessions depends on: ink density (how heavy-handed the artist was), ink quality (some cheap inks contain heavy metals that are hard to break), your immune system, your age (older skin heals slower), and location (ribs have good circulation, so that's good). For a 4-inch black and red tattoo, a realistic range is 6-12 sessions. A clinic saying '6 sessions' might be using a very strong laser (Pico) and being optimistic. A clinic saying '12 sessions' might be using an older Q-switched laser and being conservative. The honest answer is: 'We'll do a test spot and see how your body reacts. We estimate 6-10 sessions, but we charge per session, so you only pay for what you need.' Avoid 'unlimited package' deals – those often mean they will use low settings to make you come back forever. Ask to see before/afters of similar tattoos.

I shopped around for laser tattoo removal for a black tribal piece. One spa said '4 sessions.' Another said '8-10.' I went with the honest one (8-10). It took 9 sessions. The cheap place was going to under-treat me so I'd need more sessions anyway. My advice: pay per session. Don't buy a package. And ask what laser they use. Pico lasers often need fewer sessions than Q-switched. But Pico costs more per session. It evens out. For professional laser tattoo removal, you get what you pay for. If a price is too good to be true, they are either using an old laser or lying about the sessions.

Then you'll know your personal 'fade rate.'
