Tattoos are placed in the dermis. Scratches are much shallower, on the epidermis.

You can't scatch a real tatoo off. But you can scratch off a fake tatoo off. It is easier to scratch it off when it is wet.
If a tattoo fades fast, generally it means the tattoo artist didnt apply the ink deep enough (epidermis layer or 2.2mm). It can also happen when not using good quality tattoo ink.
No, if this is a permanent tattoo the colour should not fade or come off unless the quality of the ink was poor. If so go back to your tattooist and tell him/ her you are not happy a tattoo is for life afterall.
There are tattoo removals but even after that surgery I believe there is still a scar that remains..Otherwise naturally no tattoos dont fade away completely. They do start to lose color though.
It may be because the color is coming out of the tattoo. if it bleeded really bad then this will more than likely happen. When your tattoo is scabing do not pull it off or scratch it. Let it fall off its self.
