Arthur Perry, MD, Plastic Surgery, answered. A $75 tattoo can cost thousands of dollars to remove. There are usually fees for using the laser as well as surgeon's fees. Laser-use fees are in the range of $200-$400 per treatment and the surgeon's fee depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo.It could be as little as $200 or more than $1,000 per treatment.efore you get a tattoo, you should realize that having a tattoo removed is much more expensive than getting one. Laser tattoo removal can cost several hundred dollars or many thousands of dollars, depending on the size, type and location of the tattoo.
