I got a tattoo five days ago and this morning when I woke up I checked it out and there was ink coming off. Now some parts are light and others are dark black. What did I do wrong or what can I do to stop this from happening?

That is most likely just scabbing. Just wash with antibacterial handsoap and put a thin layer of fragrance-free hand lotion on it. If anyone tells you to use A&D ointment, they are morons (it is made for diaper rash- not tattoos).
Yeah they did tell me to use A&D. so then the ink stuff coming off is normal?
Yep, could also be holidays (areas where the ink didn't take or wasn't applied properly). Throw the A&D away- it leeches color. Perfectly normal. I have to ask, do they guarantee their work and are touchups free?
I have the same problem I have a tattoo on my foot I got 4 days ago and I fell like half of it has been rubbed off, I can still see a little bit of color but most of it is just gone I don't know how to stop it but I could really use some help it looked good for the first 2 days then the ink started coming off on my cloths and it started cracking I put vasiline on it and lotion but some of it is still coming out what can I do?
Do not use vaseline. It is normal, especially on foot tattoos, for some of the ink to come off. Feet most often need a touch-up. Just use fragrance free lotion on it. It will take at least 10 - 14 days to heal.
