If you're considering tattoo removal, one of your first questions is probably, "How much does tattoo removal cost?" At TakeTatt, we understand this concern deeply and strive to offer clear, honest answers, along with affordable options.

Tattoo removal costs can vary significantly, largely due to the advanced technology and professional expertise required to ensure effective and safe results.

Why is Tattoo Removal Expensive?

One of the primary reasons for the high cost of tattoo removal is the price and ongoing maintenance of specialized lasers. For instance, the lasers we use at TakeTatt cost upwards of $200,000 each. These aren't your standard cosmetic lasers—they are high-powered, precision instruments specifically designed for tattoo removal.

At TakeTatt, we proudly use the PiQo4 laser by Lumenis, widely regarded as one of the most advanced tattoo removal lasers available today. Here are a few highlights of the PiQo4:

  • Energy Levels: Capable of delivering powerful energy bursts up to 2000 millijoules, ensuring deep penetration and effective ink shattering.
  • Spot Size: Offers variable spot sizes up to 15.5mm, allowing precise targeting and faster treatment sessions, even for large tattoos.
  • Wavelengths: Equipped with multiple wavelengths, PiQo4 can effectively treat a wide range of ink colors, even notoriously stubborn ones.

Ongoing Costs and Expertise

Aside from initial equipment costs, maintaining these high-quality lasers comes with significant yearly expenses—often exceeding $30,000 per laser annually. These costs include regular calibration, replacement parts, and professional servicing, all essential to maintaining optimal performance and patient safety.

Moreover, tattoo removal isn't simply a cosmetic procedure; it requires medical expertise and careful handling. At TakeTatt, we exclusively employ nurse practitioners. These medical professionals not only have extensive training in laser technology but also possess deep medical knowledge to manage and anticipate any complications safely and effectively.

Our Commitment to Affordable Pricing

Despite these substantial costs, our commitment at TakeTatt is unwavering: we aim to run as efficiently as possible. By streamlining our operations, minimizing overheads, and prioritizing efficiency, we can offer tattoo removal services at the most competitive prices in the market.

We never sacrifice quality, effectiveness, or safety. Instead, our business model focuses on passing the benefits of our operational efficiencies directly to our clients, ensuring you get top-tier tattoo removal at a price that makes sense.

Conclusion

Tattoo removal costs are driven by the sophistication of laser equipment, maintenance, and the expertise required to use this powerful technology safely. At TakeTatt, we've mastered the balance of maintaining excellence in care while keeping costs manageable for our clients.
