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.

Oh no. Thank you for letting me know. Have to search for a vet.

Im not an expert by no means, so i could be wrong. AHBD or Drache613 should be more definitive.

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.

Thank you, and yes to be safer I’ll be taking him to the vet.
