Bleeding after laser tattoo removal session, is this normal? (photo)

Asked By:j_omo14 in Honolulu, HI

I just got home from my removal session I feel I should mention that the session prior, I got an ice burn (they freeze the area before lasering) but I gave it two months for it to completed heal. I've never bled this much before I'm concerned that it might leave a scar or something. I called the place and the girl who performed on me said that it was normal to bleed, but I want to make sure. The areas that are bright red are dried blood. How should I care for this? How should I wash the area?
