dark black scabs' (filled with ink) peeling off my tattoo, is it normal?

my 1st newly done tattoo of 7 days is encountering the problems, leaving behind a faded black as opposed to the dropped scabs, i am quite worrying now and wonder if this is normal......do you guys scabs black in color or skin's color?

    perfectly normal, when you had it done you were bleeding right and for some time after weeping. your tattoo is safe under it all . dont pick at it but wash it if you want. its just some ink pigment caught up in your scabs , dont worry

    Go with what the others have told you. DON"T pick at it!! keep it clean and use lotion. Its just ink in the scab. You might have to get touch up work done on it in case some of the ink comes out of your tat. But most artiest will touch up for free or worst what it cost them for the needles. But by the sounds of things you are doing the right thing. Good Luck ps if you have any pics of the tattoo I would like to see them.

    this is completely normal. put lotion on, and do not pick them off! If you pick, you're gonna end up with scarring!
