Can't get it done in the US? Us that because he can't visit the US?
It won't be widely available as tattoos are only just becoming popular mainstream. There is no quickfix so be sure where you start the treatment that he won't be relocating often.
Is he looking for pigment distortion or laser pigment breakdown? Laser will be expensive in the republic
The cheap option is to buy the distortion solution, buy a machine and battery pack. Send off for some disposable needles and do it yourself. The solution breaks down the pigment in the skin and forces it out in the scab. It won't get the results of laser treatment but it will get it so that it isn't noticable unless studying the skin. Basically the skin will turn a slightly different colour, but if it isn't a solid tattoo you shouldn't notice it.
I'm not Professional by the way, just had a few removed using both techniques.
There is a clinic in Santo Domingo and other locations in the country. It is Instituto Dermatol?gico. One can go there for a consult. It was established to serve the poor of the country. It is not fancy, but has a good reputation and doctors. The cost is based upon one's ability to pay.
PJT recommends it, has been treated there for minor skin problems and had eyelift surgery.
Please be aware of common clinic practice; when you do go there, there is no appointment, you pay for a consult fee, take a ticket and wait your turn for a consult.

Um, I am an ECE educator and a RN with many tattoos. Do not do this please. This is a ridiculous suggestion.
The guy is looking for solutions, cheap options, that is a cheaper option and I am walking proof it can be done.
What is your advice or alternative option for the guy?
........
I'm not saying what should be done, just that it can be done.
