It is normal for a tattoo to peel. It is part of it's healing process. Some may peel, some may scab, and some will do both, but it is completely normal.

When your tattoo starts peeling do you still use the ointment?
No. Once the tattoo starts to peel, the ointment is no longer needed.
Can peeling the dead skin on a fresh tattoo ruin the tattoo?
Yes, in fact it can! Peeling off the skin is peeling off the freshly inserted colour. Scabbing and peeling has to happen on it's own, and you need to procrastinate it as much as possible. Lotioning helps to shove the colour that is bleeding out back into your skin. Lotion religiously, do NOT scratch, and do not peel it off. If you want your tat to be as colourful and gorgeous as possible at least.
Why would tattoo start to fade after four days?
Chances are that your tattoo is peeling. So for a week or so it will look like it is peeling off or fading. But after that it will look just fine. Here's a tip to help prevent fading and peeling. Take a small (pea sized) dab of lotion (non scented) and rub it on your tattoo 2-3 times a day. If you put too much lotion on, it will peel even more.
Will your tattoo darken up after peeling?
On the contrary! Tattoos tend lose their glossy shine (become duller) and lighten up a bit after peeling and once it is healed. The change in color is not drastic. After time, your tattoo will gradually lighten even more, and if there is quite a bit of thick coloring, it will space, meaning small gaps in the color will be visible. Touch ups every few years are very normal for maintaining a tattoo. You won't be charged as much for touch ups as you did for your initial tattoo, and it is useful to restore the color and keep your tattoo looking brand new. Good luck!
