It looks like it might actually be.
There is some home remedies you could try i think, but personally being that close to the end of the tail, and the potential for infection i would probably take him/her to the vet and have the end removed. Looks like you caught it early so an amputation would probably heal with no farther issues.
I'll flag a coulpe people that know more about it than me though. @AHBD @Drache613 @KarrieRee

There's a link to search for reputable vets in your area. If you are in a small town, enter the zip code for the nearest large city. I live in Seaside, Oregon and the closest to me is in Portland. Almost 2 hour drive, but worth it for proper care.
Yes it is, sometimes it will fall off on it's own but it's much better to have it amputated a little ways past the visible wound to prevent it from spreading. It's not a major surgery and beardies do very well with it, they don't feel much pain in their tail. Some people even do a small one like that themselves with a very sharp pair of sterilized scissors, betadine and non pain relief Neosporin. A vet can do it more safely though and your beardie shouldn't even need to be put under.
