That depends on the kind of bandage used!
If you were wrapped with a soaker-pad wrap, the bandage should come off a couple of hours after your appointment.
If you were wrapped with Recovery DermShield, the bandage should come off 2-3 days after your appointment.

Regardless of the kind of bandage used, after removing it the tattoo should be washed gently with unscented, anti-bacterial soap. A thin layer of ointment (Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, A&D) should be applied daily until the tattoo is fully healed.
Do not fully submerge your new tattoo (pool, tub, body of water) until it is fully healed, this typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Always apply sunscreen to your tattoos when spending time outside.
