Piercing Aftercare
Wound Wash Saline Spray
Use a bottled sterile saline spray with no additives (read the label to be sure). Spray the piercing directly on all sides without touching the piercing, and then spray a Q-tip and gently swipe around the piercing. Do not scrub. Repeat 2-3 times daily for the entire healing period. Wound Wash is drug-free and preservative-free. It is the safest and most effective way to heal a body piercing. You can find it at most pharmacies in the wound care section.
Rinse Daily
Rinse thoroughly for 30 seconds in shower to remove any build-up that may be around the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing. Dry by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury.
Downsize
Sometimes the jewelry we use in a fresh piercing ends up being too long. If the initial swelling has gone down and the jewelry is rubbing back and forth, moving, or snagging please be sure to downsize the jewelry length. When you buy the new piece we will help you change it for free. Keeping a piece in that is too long can cause tissue irritation and damage, making it hard to heal. Be Careful: snagging, bumping, rubbing, pulling, catching will cause TRAUMA to the piercing and slow your healing.
