Grammatically, both these expressions are acceptable. We often say "take [off] of something," so many people think that the "of" cannot be omitted. However, this is not true. You can choose to use it or omit it in this case. Ex: I couldn't take my eyes off the scene. Ex: He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Ex: Take the price sticker off the gift. = Take the price sticker off of the gift.
