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.
Best Answer: It takes a tattoo about 3 weeks to heal completely. It's fair to say it should be treated like an open wound for the first 2 weeks of this time. That means no swimming, soaking in the bath, or doing anything where the transfer of germs is possible.
