Played guitar for the first time today. Damn that thing really hurts the fingertips. What’s the trick to prevent this?
So practice practice practice. Bleed for 6 months, and eventually it will hurt less… Ok. Damn. It’s gonna be painful. Thanks, guys.

In my memory, one or two weeks after starting the pain wasn't there anymore. The only thing is to practice ever day.

I think it depends on individual skin. I know it took me more than a couple weeks, but maybe only a month or so. By contrast, I've got a friend that's been playing for decades that still only uses 8's because the extra tension in heaver strings gives him blisters. *shrug*

Alexandre Lagora used to say it takes 10 years to learn to play the guitar... per string and per finger.
