Tattoo shedding question

Hello everyone. I recently got my first tattoo and I'm on day 7. It's a small b&w design. On day 6 and 7 I started seeing black spots shedding from the tattoo and mostly on the left side of the basketball. Is it normal for the ball to fade and the lines to lose their sharpness?

My skincare routine is the one suggested by my tattoo artist. The first 4 days I always applied soap before using the cream I got from the tattoo shop and after the 4 days I just use cream 3 times a day to keep it moisturized.
