Am I doing my tattoo aftercare correctly?

I'm just curious cause I just recently got a tattoo and I wasn't given a care sheet. It's on my shoulder, and colored red. She gave me some wax for it after I clean it. I use soap, but I get it on my hands, and wipe it on the tattoo, and then take a wash cloth and squeeze the water to go down it. Then I take some paper towel, and lightly press it against the tattoo areas, and remove it. Then air dry it for about 5 minutes, then put the wax on it. I'm also curious if it's regular for the tattoo to leave some imprints of the tattoo in my shirt at times. I'm quite not sure if it's blood or not considering it's red. But it doesn't run with ink when I clean it. Also when are good times to clean it? I do it in the morning, afternoon, and at night.
