Is this redness normal after laser tattoo removal? (Photo)

Asked By:HellHammered in US

I got picoway laser removal and this is how it looks the next day. It isn't painful, and when I touch the area it doesn't hurt, it just feels stiff and is very swollen. It is, however, sore. There's only a couple of blisters, but overall it isn't painful. It feels incredibly sore when I get up after laying down for a while.
