Please may I have advice what to do. My clinic is closed over the weekend - I had my arm tattoo lasered for the first time today and it quickly developed a horrible HUGE blister which has popped in my sleep and woke me up. I'm guessing I rolled on it.. the clinician told me to keep my dressing on for 48 hours but, it's absolutely soaking in water from the blister I have removed it. What do I do about after care now?! Would a dressing and bandage be ok? I'm worried about infection risk. Thanks
