Tattoo Removal Costs in Australia: What To Expect

Laser tattoo removal pricing varies by size, ink colours, placement, skin type and the technology used (picosecond vs Q‑switched). Most clinics charge per session, with several sessions required for full removal or fading.

Typical price ranges

  • Small areas (e.g., initials): often $80–$150 per session
  • Medium pieces (e.g., wrist/ankle): $150–$300 per session
  • Larger tattoos (e.g., forearm/back sections): $300+ per session

Expect 4–10+ sessions spaced weeks apart. Multi‑session packages or prepay discounts can reduce the total cost.

What changes the price

  • Ink colours: blues/greens can be harder to treat and may need picosecond lasers.
  • Age/quality: older or amateur tattoos can fade faster than dense professional work.
  • Skin/placement: blood flow and skin type affect healing speed between sessions.
  • Technology: picosecond devices can improve outcomes on certain colours but may cost more.

Tips to budget

  • Book a consultation to get a tailored plan and quote.
  • Ask about packages and re‑treat policies.
  • Follow aftercare to avoid setbacks that add extra sessions.
