Sounds like you've healed nicely. Well done. I normally use Bepanthen until the tattoo loses the shine and I stop seeing dry bits after I've showered and dried off. For the dotwork this is usually around the 2 week mark, for the heavy black, its normally 3-4 weeks. If it doesn't appear to be drying around the edges without it and it isn't shiny, you should be ok to stop using it. Same goes for soaking it for long periods.
