Is this level of blistering okay one day after the first treatment of PicoWay laser tattoo removal? (Photo)

I got an ankle tattoo treated yesterday with PicoWay laser treatment. This is the current state of the blister. It doesn’t hurt, just very puffed out blister. Is this normal and OK? Any tips?
