[Histonet] Skin Sample with Tattoo - need to remove for diagnosis

[Donna Emge]

Hello fellow histonetters,

We received a skin sample that has ink from a tattoo - the sample if from
tattooed skin. One of our pathologists would like us to see if we can get
rid of the tattoo ink from the sections before H&E staining. Does anyone
out there know how to do this?

Thank you,
