Yeah, as mentioned don't use Bepanthen. The best I've used is Handy Gurugu from Lush (mostly because it smells incredible and is very gentle) but Aveeno is good, cheap and readily available. Anything really gentle but thick-ish will work for moisturiser. I can't remember what they did to make Bepanthen less good though.

I got some of this ^, and they had something called Elbow Grease which is for use in the future once healed, apparently discontinued but limited reissue. Seems odd if it is as good as reported.
So much different info out there the tattoo place reiterated Bepanthen and said it is fine, they even do a tattoo specific version.
It's so confusing as my mind wiring needs a "just do this" answer else I either get decision paralysis or buy everything.
Which reminds me, Hustle Butter is in the post too.
EZ tatoo film still on, will remove Monday aa advised and see where things are at then.

I may have semi-impulsively had some work done (been thinking about it for years, decided a week ago, had it done today). I also forgot/muddled all the aftercare talk once I left the place.
I have EZ Tattoo film to keep on for 4 days (unless it leaks in which case remove pronto), have to remove it by pulling downwards on day 4 then wash & pat dry and start to use cream, he showed me hustle butter as his preferred choice but also mentioned the bepanthen too.
Have I missed owt?
Reassuring to read above that it is hard to get wrong, although if anyone can disprove that, then rhb can.
