how to take care of a piercing

Clean your
piercing daily

Use a sterile saline solution or make a sea salt soak (1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt in 1 cup of warm water). Gently soak your piercing 2-3 times a day with a q-tip. Avoid rotating the jewelry and rinse thoroughly after each soak.

hands
off

Avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands. Refrain from twisting, rotating, or playing with the jewelry.

Avoid
irritants

Keep makeup, lotions, perfumes, and hair products away from the piercing area. Avoid pools, hot tubs, and fresh water for at least the first few weeks.

jewelry &
healing

Leave your initial jewelry in until fully healed. Healing times vary on ear piercings: nose and face typically take 2-3 months. Ask us if you're unsure!

watch for
issues

Mild redness and swelling are initially normal, but you should start seeing changes for the better. If you notice unusual pain, excessive swelling, or discharge, contact us or see a professional.
