The PicoSure works on green ink so that shouldn't be problem. Without seeing you in person, it is impossible to say exactly what's going on, but my guess is that this is just the process and it will just take more sessions to remove the green completely. As you are finding, it's a lot easier to...
First it matters what wavelength was used in a person of your skin tone, I would think they used the Q YAG,At times blistering occurs despite any attempts to avoid the outcome, darker skin tones are more difficult since you absorb more of the laser. Show your doctor, in general darker skin tones...
I would definitely advise you not to pop your blisters. They're actually there to protect the underlying "raw" skin. If one pops on it's own, apply antibiotic ointment over it and leave it alone until it's healed. Popping the blisters will not make the ink fade faster. My best,
