The tattoo
A small black tattoo on the upper arm on Type II skin (fair, tans sometimes but often burns), 1–5 yrs old when treatment began.
Fitzpatrick Type II is favorable: tolerates standard energy settings with minimal pigmentation risk.
The upper arm is close to the axillary lymph nodes, which supports efficient clearance between sessions.
Timeline
3 sessions at 1 year intervals accounts for roughly 104 weeks of active treatment.
Complete clearance in 3 sessions is at the faster end of what this type of tattoo typically requires.
Cost
Fade Laser Tattoo Removal: $600 across 3 sessions works out to $200 per session.
Reputable providers typically charge $350 to $700 per session; $200 falls within that range.
