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.
There's nothing stopping you from having a shower / bath the same day as getting it done, as long as you don't soak the tattoo, as that will bring the ink out. So a quick shower won't do any damage at all. After about 2 - 3 weeks it should be fully healed and you can be free to soak.
