The aftercare of your piercing is extremely important to prevent infection, rejection and scarring. Please carefully follow the instruction given to on the day of your piercing and continue to do so until healing is complete.
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your new piercing. Gently cleanse the area with sterile saline solution and dry thoroughly twice a day, preferably after washing or bathing. Avoid any perfumed substance coming in to contact with the area (shower gels, deodorants, perfumes, etc.).
With oral piercings (including lip piercings), gently rinse your mouth with alcohol free mouthwash after eating, drinking and smoking. We highly recommend avoiding smoking during the healing period of you oral piercing.
Please avoid touching your piercing other than to clean to prevent irritation or infection. Always make sure to tighten the balls on your jewellery after each clean, as repeated cleaning can loosen them over time and can result in them falling off.
Irritation bumps can appear around the piercing site. Following the cleaning instructions given will help these bumps from developing. Unfortunately, some people are more prone to these than others and despite taking all the necessary care steps they can still develop. Please speak to our piercer if you have any concerns.
The healing time can differ from person to person and the type of piercing. Some piercings heal much quicker than others, as do some people. We recommend following and performing the cleaning instructions and not changing the jewellery for the recommended amount of time for your particular piercing ____ months/weeks.
If you have any concerns on the day or following your piercing please do not hesitate to speak to our piercer, she is more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. Feel free to contact the studio or pop in to speak to us at any point.
Thank you for choosing us, enjoy your new piercing and we hope to see you soon!
