I was at my third IPL hair removal treatment for about 2 weeks ago and immediately after the session I got some blisters on a tattoo that I have. The technician had slipped and got me burned. Today one of these burned spots fell off and created a small "hole" on my leg. I wonder if I need to be worried or will it heal properly? My tattoo is not so big, maybe around 3cmx7cm and the damages are around 5 mm on each side (3 damages).
