What affects the price
Tattoo size
Clinics quote by size band (cm²). Larger tattoos cost more per session and need more sessions.
Ink colour
Black ink responds fastest; green, blue and yellow often need more sessions and cost more overall.
Laser type
Picosecond (Pico) lasers are often priced above Q-switched but may need fewer sessions.
Number of sessions
Most removals need 6–12 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Budget for the full course, not one session.
Skin tone and tattoo age
Assessment affects session count; older amateur tattoos often fade faster than professional colour work.
Why can Modelow appointments cost less?
Some clinics offer reduced-price appointments when they need a model for training, demonstrations, content or supervised practice. The lower price reflects the appointment type — not necessarily lower standards.
Prices change and differ between clinics. Confirm the exact treatment, practitioner, inclusions and total cost before you book.
