What @Hogrider said. Blowouts have happened forever. That photo is meaningless and appears to be complete horsesh*t. Just get more tattoos from someone else and stop obsessing.

This doesn't really show anything except that the skin around the tattoo is red from the lasering, which in itself would hide the blow out. They would have to wait and show it after the skin settled down in order to prove anything. The fact that they didn't leads me to believe that it didn't look so great when healed. Good luck, lasering is expensive and painful. I'd be really careful about getting it. I also wouldn't put to much into what an abstract says. The devil is in the details.

Found this which was quite reassuring, an instance where a laser has successfully helped. Also this was fairly informative. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/47728232_Blue_Foot_A_Second_Case_of_Tattoo_Blow-out_Pigment_Spread_Successfully_Treated_With_the_QS-NdYAG_Laser Ive found things saying it will help, things saying it wont. Truly there is only one way to find out like I said, ill just have it tattooed by someone else if not. Its still nothing I dont feel can be resolved one way or another. oh no;) an excuse for more tattoos id like to keep this updated though as maybe someone else will have the same problem as me and be desperately looking for answers. ill keep everyone posted with what works and what doesnt.

I don't think lasers are going to do anything to a blowout. Even tattoo artists who have 20 years of experience don't always know what they are talking about. I had a small blowout on my left sleeve on a very thin, sensitive part of my arm. My artist just covered it up with with filler when the whole arm was finished. There are ways around it, although that is A LOT of blowout.

As @Hogrider said, you can't fix it. It probably is a blowout. Just learn to live with it. Get a sleeve with some shading to hide it a bit. But I'd definitely go to someone else for any other tattoos.
