If you don't have to, don't. Clean the surrounding skin and the surface of the blister. Cut a donut out of moleskin and put it around the blister and then cover the blister.
If you absolutely can't stand having a blister there, or it's broken already, or it's infected (cloudly fluid, red surrounding areas) drain the blister, clean it throughly, put bactrin or neosporin on it, and cover it with a gauze dressing.

if you are gonna use a pin be sure to sterilize it, you can get a nasty infection from popping a blister with out disinfecting first.

I usually take a sewing needle or even a safety pin and clean it with alcohol or put a lighter to it for a few seconds and let it cool down if I am in a bind...then peirce the blister on the side and gently squeeze out the creamy goodness..then I usually remove the excess skin, add a layer of neosporin and put a band-aid on it...usually all healed up in a day or two...
I used to burn myself...alot...at my old work
