My Mum had a small tat removed many years ago, the doctors cut it out with a scalplel leaving a very ugly permanent scar.
A few years ago a mate had multiple laser treatment to remve a large black tattoo from his arm After every session the skin would blister up and scab like a real bad burn which he had to let heal before he could go back for some more pain. 6 sessions and $1000's of dollars latter you can still see it. They go on easy and come off hard , i love my tats. |

Laser treatment is the best way, minimal scarring and charged by the hour. Green is a tough colour to get rid of. My Dad was covered in tatts from his Naval years, and regreted them in later life. He spent quite a bit on removal, and because of the volume of work, it took several months to complete the sessions.
Moral here is choose carefully, it's permanent. |

if he still wants a tatt, just go in find a tatt you actually want and talk to the tattooist, they can do great coverups these days, mate had one covered came out awsome, would never know the old one was even there..

He may have rushed into the tatt, but don't rush into the fix-up and double the problem.
Go see a few artists and get recommendations from them, and a doc or two as well. Then a knowledge based decision can be reached. FWIW, I agree with the cover ups, may take time and may take a few but I think it'll be far better than removal.. just my opinion.
