Laser hair removal burnt my tattoo? Will I be left with a scar?

October 27, 2015
Asked By:slw93 in London, GB

I recently went to get laser hair removal on my legs and the staff accidentally done it over the top of a tattoo I have on my ankle and now I'm in so much pain and the skin has started to peel and is bright red. Will I be left with a scar? And will it ruin my tattoo? I've never had a burn hurt this much before, will it take a while to heal?
