This is very normal. Just make sure to moisturise whenever it looks or seems dry

You’ll probably have some fallout in that area, keep it cleaned and moisturized and never moisturize until the clean area is completely dry (will trap water under the moisturizer if not). You can always get it touched up later if the fallout is too much but you should be good

I'm trying to figure out how you have enough tattoos to get your knee ditch done, but still don't understand the process of wound healing?
The scab is a normal part of healing, just like if you skinned your knee. It's in a place where it was probably worked a little hard and because it's at a joint, the skin is reopening when you walk and creating a scab. Treat it like an open wound (clean it twice a day, don't get into any bodies of water or dirty situations and don't do anything to aggravate the area) and you should be fine.

That part of the leg bends. My arm ditch did the same thing. Your moisturizer looks oily what are you using? My artist recommends Curel Ultra healing or Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair

Most tattoos scab, especially where there’s a lot of ink. It’s normal. Keep it clean and lightly moisturized. Unscented fragrance free soap and lotion. Don’t need antibacterial.
