Depends on the type of tattooing done. For machine tatt's usually about two weeks to fully scab up and up to a month for it to fully heal. First two days use a petroleum based jelly and for the rest of the time you can go with a good moisturizer as Denver said. Hydration is key. When I got mine done, I did it on my last day and got it done a few hours before my flight. I tried to avoid having to sleep in the hotel because places charge you if you mess their sheets.
Also as Denver said take it easy on alcohol prior to getting it done because alcohol thins out your blood. It gets messy and collors don't stick so well.
For bamboo tattoos, two days and you can pretty much jump back in the sea water since the needle does not go as deep. Mine healed fully 5 days.
