looks like it's pretty good work. as for the ointment....ask ten different tattoo artists and you will get ten different 'best' ways to make sure they heal the best. and no, there is NO proof ones works better then the other for every person out there!
First of all, the "ointment" is the old scool way of doing it. You should be putting nothing but aloe or tea tree oil lotion on it every
2-3 hours. Second, after the pic if you are gonna do it that way. Nice work though.
