CARING FOR YOUR NEW PIERCING

Caring for your new piercing should be the same for everyone across the board. Unless discussed otherwise with your piercer.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Never touch your new piercing or jewelry with dirty hands and fingers.
2. Inspect and clean your jewelry with unscented soap and water before rotating. If rotating is necessary.
3. Do not take jewelry out. Body piercings may take many months to completely heal. Changing or removing jewelry should be avoided during the healing process.
4. The use of a sea salt water solution is highly recommended. This will help speed up the healing process.
5. Never use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide because they may damage healthy cells and cause scar tissue.
6. Products that contain petroleum are not recommended as it may collect and promote the growth of bacteria.
7. Avoid hot tubs and public pools until the piercing is completely healed.
8. Avoid alcohol, smoking, chewing tobacco and spicy foods with a new oral piercing.
9. Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, oils and lotions.
10. Tight fitting clothes may irritate a new piercing.
11. Practicing good hygiene helps during the healing period.

If questions arise during healing, please contact your professional piercer.
