Ok, well, i'm no expert, but this is what I did with my 2 tattooes and they are fine.
I left the bandages on overnight. It was somewhat difficult sleeping with them, but it's fine.
The next day, I took off the bandages and gently showered while applying a thin layer of soap to clean the areas that were tattooed.
The rest of the time, I just applied moisturizer and let it be. It itched like hell, but I was told (and I made sure) not to scratch. The scabs are normal, and appear because tattooing is well, traumatic for your skin to say the least. The scabs will disappear.
In terms of ink missing, it sometimes happens. My artist warned me that I might have to come back for a touch up, but it turned out totally fine. I don't know about your place, but my place has a 1 year free touch up service. If you can live with a dot or 2 missing, maybe the 3 hour drive isn't for you.
As for your clothing, after the first day or 2, you shouldn't really be leaking any ink onto your shirts.
