Continue washing the tattoo morning & evening and apply moisturiser whenever the tattoo feels tight/dry, do not over wash or over moisturise.
After 5-7 days scabs and flakes of skin (if you have them) will naturally fall off, this is annoyingly itchy but do not pick them off it will pull ink out of your tattoo which could also scar!
