            Piercing Aftercare Instructions

 

Thank you for trusting us with your piercing.

​

Proper aftercare is essential for healthy healing and long-lasting results.

Please read these instructions carefully and follow them throughout the entire healing process.

 

 

Cleaning Instructions

​

 

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching or cleaning your piercing.

• Clean the piercing 2 times per day using a sterile saline solution.

• Apply saline directly to the piercing or with clean, non-woven gauze.

• If recommended by your piercer, gently clean around the area with a mild, fragrance-free soap, then rinse thoroughly.

• Do not rotate or twist the jewelry during healing.

• Gently dry the area using clean, disposable paper towels.

(Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag jewelry.)

 

What Is Normal During Healing

 

• Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or warmth

• Light bleeding during the first few days

• Clear or whitish fluid that may dry and form light crusties

• Itching or tightness as the tissue heals

 

 A piercing may look healed on the outside before it is fully healed inside.

Healing happens from the outside in — patience is essential.

 

What To Do

 

• Leave the jewelry in place at all times during healing

• Maintain good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle

• Stay hydrated, eat well, and get enough sleep

• Wear clean, breathable clothing that does not put pressure on the piercing

• Showers are safer than baths

• If bathing, clean the tub beforehand and rinse the piercing afterward

 

What To Avoid

 

• Touching the piercing with unwashed hands

• Rotating or moving jewelry unnecessarily

• Over-cleaning (this can delay healing)

• Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Betadine®, Hibiclens®, or harsh soaps

• Ointments or heavy creams (they block air circulation)

• Bactine®, ear-care solutions, or products containing Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK)

• Excessive friction, pressure, or trauma

• Sleeping directly on fresh piercings

• Submerging the piercing in pools, lakes, hot tubs, or oceans during healing

• Makeup, lotions, sprays, or beauty products on or near the piercing

• Hanging charms or additional jewelry until fully healed

 

 

Jewelry & Healing

 

• Leave the original jewelry in place for the entire healing period

• Even healed piercings can close quickly if jewelry is removed

• If jewelry must be removed for medical reasons, contact us for guidance

• Check threaded jewelry regularly for tightness using clean hands

• Do not remove jewelry if infection is suspected — contact a professional
