What is Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo removal uses laser energy — most commonly a Q-switched or picosecond laser — to break up the ink particles in your skin into fragments small enough for your immune system to clear naturally. The laser targets the ink without damaging the surrounding skin.
Each session takes 5 to 30 minutes depending on tattoo size. Results are gradual — the tattoo fades over a series of sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the body to clear cleared ink between treatments. Most tattoos require 5 to 10 sessions for significant fading or complete removal, though results vary widely by ink color, depth, and skin tone.
Black and dark blue ink responds best. Green, yellow, and light colors are harder to clear and may require more sessions. Tattoo age, skin tone, and your body's immune response also affect results. Most providers price by tattoo size per session.
How much does Tattoo Removal cost in Los Angeles?

What to ask your provider
- What type of laser do you use — Q-switched Nd:YAG, picosecond (PicoSure/PicoWay), or alexandrite? Why is it right for my ink colors?
- How many sessions do you estimate based on my specific tattoo?
- How do you price — per session by size, or a package?
- What do you do between sessions — is 6 to 8 weeks the right spacing?
- What is the aftercare protocol and what should I avoid between sessions?
- What is a realistic expectation — full removal or significant fading?
Frequently asked questions
How much does tattoo removal cost in Los Angeles?
Tattoo removal in Los Angeles typically runs $350 to $1,400 per session depending on tattoo size. Small tattoos may cost as little as $100 per session. Large pieces can run $500 to $1,000 per session. Most tattoos need 5 to 10 sessions, so plan for a total investment of $1,000 to $5,000+ for complete removal.
How many sessions does tattoo removal take?
Most tattoos require 5 to 10 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Black and dark blue ink clears fastest. Green, yellow, and light colors take more sessions. Older tattoos, amateur ink, and tattoos on areas with good circulation tend to respond faster.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
Most patients describe it as a snapping rubber band sensation — similar to getting the tattoo but faster. Sessions are short (5 to 30 minutes). Many providers apply numbing cream or use a cooling device during treatment. Discomfort is manageable for most people.
Can tattoo removal cause scarring?
When performed correctly with appropriate settings for your skin tone, modern laser tattoo removal has a low risk of scarring. Choosing an experienced provider with the right laser for your ink colors and skin type is the most important factor in avoiding complications.
What colors are hardest to remove?
Black and dark blue ink are easiest to remove. Red and orange are moderately responsive. Green, yellow, light blue, and white are the hardest to clear and may never fully disappear. Picosecond lasers (PicoSure, PicoWay) perform better on difficult colors than older Q-switched lasers.
