During my third flight back after a 7 month absence (first flight back into ZZZ); I forgot to call the ramp prior to parking at Gate XXX; one of the exterior gates. I believe ground control cleared us 'taxi to the gate' or a similar clearance; and I simply forgot that I was supposed to call Ramp Tower.
Taxed into gate without ramp clearance. The self park was green with wing walkers. It is a short taxi from Runway XXR.
Air Carrier flight crew reported a ramp incursion and cited lack of flying as a contributing factor.
