Body Piercing Aftercare

 1. Before cleaning or touching a new piercing always wash your hands with antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer to avoid cross contamination and infection.

2. Clean your piercing with the help of a Sterile Saline Solution that you can purchase in studio or at your local pharmacy. Also known as "saline wound wash" which is found in an aerosol cannister. *Homemade saline solutions are strictly forbidden

3. Twice a day; morning and night or after exercise, soak a Q-tip with saline and clean the secretions around the jewelry by applying a gentle pressure around the wound. If secretions resist, do not remove them by force. *This is like picking a scab. It wil considerably slow down the healing process.

4. Always clean the piercing after your bath or shower to remove any soap or shampoo residue. Never use scented soaps or bubble bath during the healing process. *Doing so can lead to irritation and rejection.

5. Never use the following products on your piercing:

•    Isopropyl (rubbing Alcohol) or Peroxide; using them will dry out the skin
•    Antibiotic oitment or cream with Zinc Bacitracin base; these will inhibit proper oxygenation and may generate an abcess.

6. All contact with rivers, lakes, pools and hottubs are strictly forbidden during the healing process. *The only exception is if you protect your new piercing with an over the counter waterproof adhesive medical bandage such as Tegaderm that you can purchase at your local pharmacy.
