Scab loves me and dont wanna let me go

Hi everybody, i got a tattoo 2 weeks ago, at day 2 it did look like raw skin on some spots as you can see here:

 

Overworked? Bad after care? I dont know, but never happened to me on previous tattoos. As expected a big ugly scab showed up a few days later, and by now (day 14) its still there:

 

When i showed it to my artist he told me to dry heal the thing so i am doing. What could i expect if the scab finally goes off? It will be fine with just a touch up? 

The rest of the tattoo is healing perfectly.

You can expect to see what it looks like. Tattoos take 4-8 weeks to heal. With a bad scab maybe longer. There is NO way to predict the future. Get it touched up if necessary.

Yep, and I've had at least a couple that came out fine after looking worse than that.
