Sometimes: Blisters are not uncommon but if they open, you may want to discuss treatment with your physician to minimize scarring.

Yes: Blistering is common following laser tattoo treatments. Check with the center where your treatment was performed for guidance around how best to care for it and optimize quick healing.

Probably yes: I perform a significant amount of laser tattoo procedures on long island. It is true may patients develop a blister, i always tell my patients keep it clean if it pops let it drain dong peel off the skin or roof of the blister it acts like a bandage and apply an antibiotic like neosporin, Bacitracin or triple antibiotic for the next few days till it is healed. Red and thick black blister alot.
