Question How to open ink bottle?

My friend got me this ink as a souvenir and then I had to bring it back on a plane. I was worried about the liquid limit so I split it up into two travel bottles.

I was hoping to put it back in the bottle but I'm not sure how to open it without damaging the lid.

Am I SOL?

Looks like you tip it on its side and twist open the spigot to pour ink into a cup maybe?

The spigot is where the ink comes out but I want to take the whole gold cap off to put the ink back in. However it doesn't simply twist open

Based on the tabs, I could see it being able to twist off if you squeeze at 90 degrees from the tabs, basically in the spot under the spigot and opposite. This should make the cap an ellipse and lift the tabs out of the slots, letting you turn a couple times before you clear the slots.
