Piercing Aftercare

Always wash your hands before touching the area. Spray the saline onto a clean cotton tip and use that to gently wipe around the piercing, ensuring to clean off any crust/blood/dead skin or general build-up. Repeat on the other side of the piercing using the clean end of the cotton top. Continue this process twice daily for at least the recommended healing time (longer if needed) even if the area is pain free.

For oral piercings, rinse the area with alcohol-free mouthwash twice a day as well as after meals, snacks and smoking/vaping. Avoid contact (i.e. kissing) for at least the first two weeks.
DO NOT touch, rotate remove or play with the jewellery. DO NOT directly sleep on the piercing - if you’re a side-sleeper find a way to lift the pressure off of the piercing (using a travel pillow is often a good solution).
DO NOT use any antiseptics, essential oils, peroxide, gels or alcohol-based products.

Where possible avoid snagging the jewellery on clothing/towels or using beauty products directly on the piercing. Avoid swimming in the ocean for at least 2 weeks and the pool for 1-2 months if possible.
