A tattoo is actually a raw wound and you have to take care of it to avoid infection.

First thing is you need to look at the cleanliness and professionalism of your tattooist to avoid contracting diseases like like HIV, tuberculosis, and even tetanus.

Secondly after you've had your tattoo keep the wound dry by using a clean paper towel.Avoid using cloth towels which could be a source of lurking bacteria.

Remove the scabs after cleaning your hands and oil the skin over the tattoo to keep it moisturized.

Keep your skin moisturized daily as this helps to tattoo to dry and also keep from fading.

How To Take Proper Care of a New Tattoo 

Once the scabs have fallen off maintain the suppleness of your skin by frequently oiling the skin with ointment which contains Vitamin A and D to prevent dryness.
This application of a moisturizer will also assist the fast healing of the tattoo.
It is also advised to avoid the direct sun rays to

avoid the damage the sun can cause on the wound and also to prevent the color fading.

Do not expose the tattoo to water, like soaking in the bath to allow the tattoo to dry faster.
However if you feel like scratching, don't do so. To relieve this itch slap the tattoo gently. Apply ample ointment and stay away from water and the sun.

These steps should get your tattoo healing faster.
