  7. I HAD A LASER TATTOO...

I had a laser tattoo removal about three days ago and noticed that there is a lot of bruising that has gone down my arm.

Asked By:Brave8355 in Sydney, AU

The tattoo with the blistering feels arms but the actual arm does not. The red part feels slightly sore but not annoying. I’ve tried giving it a light massage to get all the fluids moving but it doesnt seem like it’s doing much. Should I be worried?
