Follow these steps morning and night.
1. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
2. Flush the entrance and exit holes of your piercing with a pre-packaged sterile saline.
3. Remove any crust or debris that has formed with a saline soaked piece of non-woven gauze.
4. Gently pat dry with a non-woven gauze after your piercing gets wet for any reason (shower,saline, sweat etc.)
Once daily, at the end of your shower, allow the water to run over the piercing. This will help to soften/loosen any crust that may be stuck around the area and ensure that any soap or shampoo that has accidentally got on the piercing is flushed away.
The majority of piercings require a downsize once the inital swelling has subsided. Most ear piercings are 4-6 weeks, and most oral piercings are 2-4 weeks. Leaving the downsize too long can cause moderate to severe damage to the piercing and surrounding tissue. These downsize times can vary depending on climate and other external factors.
DO NOT allow someone else’s bodily fluids to come in contact with your healing piercing.
DO NOT sleep on your healing piercing.
DO NOT touch, twist or play with your healing piercing.
DO NOT swim for 1-3 months after getting pierced. This includes the ocean as well as swimming pools.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the store or the piercer directly.
