Hey Chris!
The tentacles are some of the best eating, on a squid. You CANNOT REMOVE THE MEAT FROM INSIDE THE TENTACLES! The reason they appear dark, is because the skin is still on. It is very hard to remove from the tentacles, and not worth doing, as the arms are edible with it on.
Use the tentacles as you would the mantle: breaded and fried; sauted in butter, olive oil, onion and garlic; in sauces, etc. . .
If the dark color of the tentacles really bothers you, try rubbing non iodized salt all over them. The abrasivenes of the salt helps in removing the skin.
Otherwise, just cook the tentacles with the rest of the squid!
Enjoy!
