Undecided Question

Tattoo Question – First tattoo, scab/spotting?

I got my first tattoo, and the scabbing is light, not a problem. I have been taking care of it the way I'm supposed to, keeping it clean, moisturized as needed (minimum of twice a day), not soaking it, and definitely not picking at it. I just want to make that clear, because I do know that that can ruin a tattoo's healing process quickly.
Now, here's the question itself:
Some of the scab has been flaking off, which is normal/to be expected as it is a week old now. But the problem is, is that some of the patches of skin – well one or two areas look as though the ink has lifted out? Why is that, and is that something that can be touched up easily? Or do I have to wait a year or some crazy amount of time for that to be fixed? Is it possible that pale patch is simply my skin being dry, and the area not being fully healed making it look lightly spotted?
But I've examined the area closely, and there's two spots that are like this compared to the rest of the scab free zones (about a third of the scab has flaked off naturally at this point) and they look good, dark and fresh, yet there's these two spots that look like they have almost no color in them whatsoever.
