How would you manage this lesion within a tattoo?

This week we look at a case submitted by Dr David Stewart in which a 70-year-old male patient with full-body tattoos presents for a skin check, at which time a red patch is noticed on his wrist.

What do you think of this lesion? Further, what's your approach to assessment and biopsy of skin lesions in the presence of tattoos?

Please leave your comments today and check back for the outcome from Wednesday 2pm.
