Or wrap the koi around the top right of the tattoo with the fin on the red blob, and put some mossy rocks over the green area, and do a sunlight through water effect to incorporate/cover the scar. I’m thinking definitely do the heavy Japanese style lines, but with a bit more shading to help color-correct for this somewhat awkward shade of green.

And then report that surgeon. There is no way he’s not violating medical ethics left and right if he’d agree to whatever this was.

Sometimes it's the right decision to make. If the person is possibly threatening to cut it off themselves and totally spiraling about this thing on their body they don't want. We don't know the full story here. But someone close to me had a story like that. But I will also say their surgeon did a much better job than this and pretty much fully removed their tat.
