Basically keep your new tattoo clean and dont't remove the scab. It will fall off after a week ot two. The amount of ink that remains in the skin throughout the healing process determines how robust the final tattoo will look. If a scab falls off too soon, (e.g. you scrape it off) then the ink will not be properly fixed in the skin.
Maybe you understand now, why it is not a good idea to go to a tattoo shop during your summer holiday.
