Laser tattoo removal price in Perth: what affects the cost
Quick answer
Laser tattoo removal cost in Perth depends on tattoo size, ink colour, depth, age, and your skin type; black ink is cheaper to remove than red or yellow, and older tattoos usually need fewer sessions than fresh ink. Pico laser technology at Patrycja Mikolajczyk Beauty breaks down ink more precisely, potentially reducing session numbers. A consultation is essential because some tattoos need four sessions whilst others need ten.
Laser tattoo removal price in Perth: what affects the cost
The cost of laser tattoo removal in Perth depends on several factors that determine how many sessions you'll need and how much work the laser has to do. Unlike a one-size-fits-all quote, your price is built on the specifics of your tattoo and skin.
What drives the cost of tattoo removal
The main factors are the size of the tattoo, the colours in it, how deep the ink sits, how old it is, and your skin type. A small single-colour tattoo on the wrist costs less than a large, multi-colour sleeve. Black ink is easier to remove than red or yellow. Older tattoos—ones where the ink has started to break down naturally over years—often need fewer sessions than fresh ink.
At Patrycja Mikolajczyk Beauty, we use pico laser technology to break down ink particles. The pico laser works in shorter, more precise pulses than older machines, which means better results on difficult colours and fewer sessions overall. That precision comes into the pricing too.
Why you need a consultation first
You cannot get an honest price without seeing the tattoo in person. During your consultation in Almondbank, near Perth, Patrycja will assess the tattoo's size, colour, depth, and your skin tone. She will then outline a realistic treatment plan—how many sessions you are likely to need, how far apart they should be spaced, and what results to expect.
The reason this matters: some tattoos need four sessions, others need ten. Quoting a price before that assessment wastes your time and hers. Current prices are on the treatments page, but your actual cost depends on what your tattoo requires.
Spacing between sessions and total timeline
Tattoo removal is not a one-visit process. Sessions are spaced six to eight weeks apart to let your body clear broken-down ink particles naturally. The full removal timeline can range from several months to over a year, depending on the tattoo. This spacing is built into the overall cost structure because it determines how many individual treatment appointments you're paying for.
Some people assume faster spacing means faster results. It does not. Your immune system needs time to flush the ink. Rush the process and you risk skin damage and poor results.
Aftercare and what to expect
After each session, the treated area will be red and may blister slightly. You avoid sun exposure, swimming, and friction on the area for at least two weeks. You also avoid further tattoos or permanent makeup in that zone during the removal course. These are not optional precautions—they are part of what makes the removal work safely.
The sensation during treatment feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. It is uncomfortable but brief. Patrycja works one client at a time in a no-rush environment, so there is no pressure to hurry through the appointment.
Multi-colour tattoos and difficult inks
If your tattoo has red, yellow, green, or purple ink, expect more sessions than a simple black piece. These colours sit at different depths and respond differently to the laser. Some older inks are formulated to be harder to remove—it is part of why they were attractive to tattoo artists in the first place. The pico laser handles these better than older technology, but "better" still means more time and more sessions.
Realistic outcomes
Complete removal is the goal, but some people see a significant fade rather than total clearance. This depends on the tattoo's age, ink quality, and your body's response. Scarring from the original tattoo can sometimes remain visible even after successful ink removal. Patrycja will discuss what is realistic for your specific piece during the consultation.

Frequently asked questions
How many sessions will my tattoo removal take?
Session numbers vary widely—some tattoos need four sessions, others need ten. It depends on your tattoo's size, ink colours, depth, age, and your skin type. Only a consultation where Patrycja assesses the tattoo in person can give you an accurate estimate.
Why is black ink cheaper to remove than coloured ink?
Black ink is easier for the laser to target and absorb because it responds to all laser wavelengths. Red, yellow, green, and purple inks sit at different depths and each requires specific wavelengths, meaning more sessions and time overall.
Can I have tattoo removal sessions closer together than six to eight weeks?
No. Your immune system needs six to eight weeks between sessions to flush out broken-down ink particles naturally. Rushing the process risks skin damage and poor results. The spacing is built into your overall cost and timeline.
Will my tattoo be completely removed?
Complete removal is the goal, but outcomes vary. Some people see significant fade rather than total clearance depending on the tattoo's age, ink quality, and your body's response. Scarring from the original tattoo may remain visible. Patrycja discusses realistic expectations during consultation.
What happens after each laser tattoo removal session?
The treated area will be red and may blister slightly. You must avoid sun exposure, swimming, and friction on the area for at least two weeks. Avoid further tattoos or permanent makeup in that zone during your removal course. These precautions are essential for safe, effective results.
