If it's left unattended, it could go deeper into your skin or spread wider. Worst case scenario: you get gangrene or leprosy and your skin starts to fall off.
More likely in the 21st century: It'll feel itchy and sore longer than it ought to and that's really irritating. It could cause some parts of the tattoo to not heal correctly, thus damaging the design.
To avoid this, follow your artist's after-care directions. They know what they're talking about.
Use pure, non-irritating soap and lotion. Clean twice a day--no exceptions!! Dry with paper towels--not terrycloth bath towels. They harbor a lot of bacteria even when they're fresh out of the drier. I know it's gross. That's life. Literally.
As always, if you suspect your tattoo has become infected, ASK YOUR ARTIST ABOUT IT.
it is bad ink that is why it happened
no not really but i have not had one but i think it does not because it really just stays there.
No. That means it's healing. Don't pick the scabs or the ink will bleed.
Tattoo ink would separate because it is water based so that it doesn't harm the body.
It's COMPLETELY different stuff, because animals are tattooed differently from people. Human tattoo ink is a liquid. The needle tube on the tattoo machine contains an ink reservoir. The artist dips the tip of the tube in the ink and the machine pulls it in. Veterinary ink is a paste used with this device that kinda looks like a big pair of pliers. The needles are set in the shape of numbers. The worker picks out the numbers needed, installs them in the device, spreads ink where the tattoo is going to go, squeezes the numbers into the animal, then rubs the ink in.
Some tattoo ink smells bad because of bad qualities, while some are the smell itself. You need to have clear eyes when choosing tattoo inks.

No, tattoo ink isn't flammable.
The remaining ink will not cause any health problems. If you were going to have any problems with the ink, it would have happened immediately after getting the tattoo.

No, tattoo ink does not typically contain iodine. Tattoo ink is made up of pigments and carriers that are specifically designed for use in the skin. Iodine is not a common ingredient in tattoo ink.
No.
