Yes it can. When you get a tattoo, your blood can mix with the ink and make the color off a bit, but once the redness goes down and the scab, if any, falls away, the color will look better. Also, my tattoo took a little bit of healing before they looked right, so to say. I don't know if it was because of my skin, or if this is just normal, but it took a couple months before the tattoo looked like it was on my skin, not under it. While is was still healing, it looked faded a bit.
You also have to be careful of certain things while your tattoo is healing. Sun and chlorine in pools can fade tattoos prematurely when healing. Sun still can muck up a tattoo after it's healed too.

Oh dear. I can see why you'd be worried about that. :/ I'd be massively annoyed with that standard of work on my body. Looking at the linework as well, I get the impression you went to an inexperienced artist. My honest advice is to leave it be for a while. Keep up the after-care until it's a month old. Then start looking for the best possible artist around to work out a way to fix it. The colours will settle a bit after about six weeks, but I really don't think that colour will be anything close to what you wanted. Book in with a GOOD artist once it's been at least eight weeks since you got it done - having it fixed any sooner than that will result in scarring and an even dodgier colour.

I have a tat with a lot of color and the color seemed really dark until the scabs started falling off then it was normal so I would say yes. It shouldn't be red turning into blue or anything like that! But if it's a little darker from the scab then it is fine.

I can. I may seem lighter or darker. Sometimes when it is completly healed it may get lighter. Do not use tattoo goo, or vaseline or neosporine. All those may lighten your tattoo. I only use scentless lotion after it has scabbed once a day.
