Has anyone else experienced this bad blistering after tattoo removal? (Photo)

ajkd13
I recently had a tattoo removal session for three tattoos, two being on my feet. One of my feet swelled up and blistered really badly making it incredibly painful to walk or stand. I have heard different doctors opinions as far as popping the blisters to get relief or leaving them alone due to risk of scarring. I was also told this is a 2nd degree burn and not a normal response to the treatment. I'm worried about scarring and not sure how I should move forward with caring for it, please help!
