My German Shepherd has a black/blue tongue spot. Is it normal?

Question

Today I saw my 2 year old german shepherd has a black/blue spot on her tongue. The texsture is the same as the rest of her tongue. She is fine otherwise, it does not bother her. Is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 59.5 lbs

It is quite common to have patches of darkly pigmented areas of the tongue in some breeds of dogs. German Shepherds are one of the breeds in which we commonly see these spots, so as long as they are not raised/painful, they are likely just normal pigmented areas and nothing to worry about!
