Congratulations on your new piercing! Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring your piercing heals smoothly and without complications. Here are some guidelines to help you along the way:

Cleanliness is key

Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing.

Use Our Aftercare Solution

Clean your piercing twice a day using our recommended aftercare solution. Apply it gently to the piercing site to keep it clean and promote healing.

Avoid Harsh Products

Avoid using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or harsh antiseptics on your piercing as they can irritate the skin and delay healing.

Hands Off

Refrain from touching or twisting your piercing unnecessarily. Let it heal naturally.

Avoid Swimming for 4 Weeks

Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water until your piercing is fully healed to prevent infections.

Be Mindful of Clothing

Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't irritate or snag your piercing. For belly piercings, avoid tight pants that could rub against the piercing site.

Avoid Makeup and Hair Products

Keep makeup, hair products, and other cosmetics away from your piercing to prevent irritation. If you visit a hairdresser, be sure to inform them that you have a fresh piercing, and consider covering it to protect it from products and potential snagging

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to aid in the healing process and promote overall well-being.

Patience is Key

Healing times vary depending on the type of piercing. Be patient and allow your body the time it needs to heal properly.
