The redness will fade on it's own over time.
The redness that you are getting following tattoo removal looks like post inflammatory erythema. This should fade away after all of the treatments are concluded. It may take a number of months for this to completely disappear.

If your skin is red, you may need to wait longer between treatments. The redness means there is extra blood in the skin and this can act as a shield making the laser treatment less effective than it otherwise might be.
Don't get in a hurry. Waiting a couple of months between treatments may make the total treatment take longer but probably will mean less treatment sessions and a lower total cost.
