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.
No. Don't go swimming or immerse your new tattoo in water until every bit of scab and dry skin has fallen off. This can take as long as four weeks. There is a big difference between getting your tattoo wet (during a normal shower) and entirely submerging or soaking your fresh wound in still water.
