Can you remove sections of a tattoo not the entire thing? (Photo)

Roary97
I’ve just got a tattoo ( I got it yesterday) and the artist took some artistic license to add unexpected details to it. It’s a tattoo of an astronaut and I’m generally really happy but the artist drew creases into the suit that just look like wiggly lines. Is it possible just to remove these lines. And will it be rediculously expensive?
