Tattoo laser removal! Is it infected? Was not expecting this outcome. (Photo)

Asked By:Rocioguti09 in Dallas, TX

I got a tattoo removed (q-switch) laser 5 days ago. I got swollen to the size of a golf ball and very red and painful! Swelling has gone down but I'm worried it might be infected? It has some yellow pus but not too much. It is still painful!
