One month post-treatment and I am getting new blisters on red ink part of my tattoo

kristin598
I had my first treatment removal one month ago with the Q-switch laser. One section of my tattoo is red. All other parts blistered a little and peeled normally. Now the red part is starting to look blistered and everything started peeling again. Is this normal? I started back at the gym a week ago. Not sure if that is causing any issues (tattoo is on my foot)
