Cold water only with a tiny bit of Dreft or Woolite, then air dry. We tend to overwash all our laundry without checking tags. But for your item, I would cold wash it only with a very mild detergent, then air drying is always safest.

It's Simple as pie!!!
Don't wash it. The worst that could happen is that you will smell and maybe, possibly, perhaps lose a wee bit of friends. But the ones who REALLY DO CARE will stay with you and your stank. GOOD LUCK!

You could retrace it with sharpie after the wash?

i think it will fade in time no matter what but hairspray should prolong it
