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.
This takes approximately 3-4weeks. This means no swimming, and no baths. Showering of course, is fine (and recommended!) but unless the tattoo is somewhere that will not be soaking in the water (like your neck or somewhere you can keep levitated above the water), I would not have a bath until the tattoo is healed.
