Reddish Purple Color After Laser Tattoo Removal

Post-inflammatory erythema not uncommon after laser procedure
Most likely you have experienced post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), which is not uncommon after laser procedure. It should eventually fade over time. You can apply antioxidant green tea and/or vitamin C serum/creams to facilitate resolution. Worse case scenario, you may consider PDL laser to minimize PIE.
