AFTERCARE PIERCING
- Clean the piercing twice a day using a sterile saline solution or a recommended piercing spray. avoid alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they can slow healing.
- Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing to avoid introducing bacteria..
- Do not move or remove the jewelry during the healing period. this can cause irritation or infection.
- Stay away from pools, hot tubs, lakes, and saunas until the piercing is fully healed. these places contain bacteria that can cause infection.
- Avoid applying makeup, perfume, creams, or hair products near the piercing.
- Avoid tight clothing or accessories that might snag on the jewelry.
- Healing times vary depending on the piercing location. even if it looks healed on the outside, the inside may still be healing – always wait for your piercer’s confirmation before changing jewelry.
Of course, accidents can happen, and the wound may get dirty or not heal as expected. not sure if your tattoo or piercing is healing properly? Contact me as soon as possible. i can check whether everything looks normal or if the healing process might need extra care.
