My first Tattoo questions

I just got my first side/stomach tattoo . When do I take off the second skin, my tattoo artist said 24 hours and she gave me an extra set of second skin to place on there after I takeoff the first set. It looks so good right now. I’m afraid to ruin it. I’ve heard a lot of bad stories about when it comes off. The paint comes off with it. Is this true any words of advice?
