PIERCING AFTER CARE

We hope you enjoy your new body piercing. For a happy and healthy healing, we suggest the following instructions during the entire healing process. The healing process will vary from person to person and for different piercings. Should you have questions or concerns about your piercing, do not hesitate to come by or call.

FOR MOST PIERCINGS

CLEANING SOLUTIONS: Sterile Isotonic Saline solution

FOR ORAL PIERCINGS

CLEANING SOLUTIONS: Internal care: ANTISEPTIC non-alcohol Oral Rinse

Wash your hands before you touch the piercing ALWAYS. Avoid touching the piercing with your hands, if possible.
Use saline solution twice a day to cool and clean off any “crusties”. Wash your hands, soak a q-tip with saline, hold it on the piercing for 2-3 minutes then thoroughly dry with a clean, dry q-tip or hair dryer on low setting.
Leave the piercing alone when not cleaning it.
Do not remove your jewelry.
