National Skin Centre sees 80 to 120 people a month for
tattoo removal
SINGAPORE: The Singapore National Skin Centre said it sees
about 80 to 120 people a month for tattoo removal.
They include first timers, and those returning for repeat laser
sessions, as it takes an average of eight sessions to remove a
palm-sized tattoo.
While getting a palm-sized tattoo costs about S$500, the
centre said that removing it will cost some S$6,000.
However, there are some limitations in tattoo removals.
Laser treatment removes dark colours better than light tones. Also,
the laser does not break the colour content of reds or greens as
well as blacks and dark blues

One patient said: "During my youth, I didn't think much of
it. But today, I've started to regret it. People have a bad
impression of you and they think you're from a secret society." -
