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.
If you can bathe while keeping it out of the water (you don't want to keep a new tattoo submersed under water), you can bathe right away. Either way, you definitely want to shower/bathe regularly! I'd never advise anyone to not shower until the scabs went away, that can take a couple of weeks sometimes.
