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.
DO care for your tattoo well. The healing process is (almost) as important as the healing itself. DON'T swim or soak your tattoo in pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers or any other bodies of water for at least 1 week, but preferably 10-14 days. DON'T pick, scratch, bugger, or otherwise fiddle and mess with your new tattoo. Leave it be unless you are caring for it.
