General Piercing Aftercare

General Piercing Aftercare:

  • Wash twice a day with fragrance-free antibacterial soap and water.

  • Use sterile saline solution twice a day.

  • Always make sure your hands are clean before touching your piercing.

  • Be careful not to injure your piercing or sleep on it.

  • Do not twist or rotate the jewelry.

  • Healing time varies from person to person.

  • Only change your jewelry once the piercing is fully healed not before.

  • Downsize your jewelry once healing is complete.

  • If you experience any adverse reaction, consult a medical specialist.

Other important tips to avoid damaging your piercing:

  • Hair: Hair contains oil and dirt, which can irritate your piercing. We recommend keeping your hair tied back to prevent contamination or accidental pulling.

  • Pets: Sleeping with your pet, allowing them near your pillow, or letting them lick your piercing can lead to serious infection. Keep pets away from your piercing and pillow.

  • Pillowcase: Pillowcases can harbor bacteria that may cause infection. They absorb oil, dirt, and dead skin from your hair and face. We recommend changing your pillowcase frequently.

  • Cellphone: Phones are a major source of bacteria and may infect your piercing. Avoid letting your phone touch the area and keep it disinfected in case of accidental contact.

  • Towels: Towels contain bacteria and dead skin, which can cause infection. Never clean your piercing with a towel—use cotton swabs (Q-Tips) or paper towels instead.

  • Bodies of water: Avoid swimming or entering pools, oceans, or lakes while your piercing is healing, as this can lead to infection.

  • Alcohol and smoking: These can weaken your immune system and slow the healing process.

  • Poor diet: Lack of proper nutrition can also lower your defenses and delay healing.

Piercings require good hygiene and care even after they’re fully healed.
This is a commitment you take on when choosing to get a body piercing. 
Remember: low-quality jewelry can damage even a healed piercing cheap can become costly.
