PIERCING AFTERCARE INSTUCTIONS

• Wash your hands before touching your piercing.
• Clean your piercing (front and back) twice daily for 6 weeks (or 8+ weeks for cartilage piercings) using saline solution provided at your appointment. Clean anytime the piercing feels irritated.
• Avoid sleeping on or bumping your piercing to prevent irritation or complications.
• Don’t change your piercing too soon - we recommend waiting a minimum of 8 -12 weeks to change a lobe piercing and 6 - 8 months for a cartilage piercing.
• Wear earrings 24/7 for one year to prevent the hole from closing and ensure proper healing.
• When changing your piercing, always use high-quality earrings to maintain healthy piercings.

If swelling occurs: Apply a clean, warm paper towel compress. If pain or tenderness persists for more than 24 hours, consult your healthcare provider and notify us.

Avoid the following:

• Removing or changing your jewelry until the piercing is fully healed.
• Using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean the piercing, as these can dry out and irritate the skin.
