One of the worst things you can do to a new tattoo is get it wet. Do not shower for at least 24 hours. Don't soak in anything -- a bath, hot tub, lake, pond or pool -- until your tattoo is fully healed. Avoid saunas and steam rooms as well.
With a new tattoo you should focus on keeping it protected while the skin heals. That means no shaving, never touching it without washing your hands first, do not scrub the area, and being generally careful with the site. Once the skin is healed completely, which can take 2-3 weeks, then it's fine to shave over it.
