General Body Piercing Care
Twice a day, lubricate the piercing with a healing solution or sea salt water. Move the jewellery gently to loosen, then dry the area with a clean tissue.
Normal bathing is permitted although you should not lie in the bath too long or your piercing will go soggy. Showering is better.
Whilst showering or bathing, move the jewellery
Do not move it whilst it's dry!
After bathing, dry the area thoroughly.
Always use a tissue, not cotton wool or towels.
Healing times are between four to eight weeks for most piercings.
Do not remove the jewellery until the piercing has healed completely.
Always allow air to circulate around the piercing and never cover the piercing with plasters.
Any external pressure or knocks can lead to distortion of
the piercing or even cause the piercing to grow out.
In the event of infection, treat the area with a solution of equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide.
Do not remove the jewellery.
Do not use hydrogen peroxide for more than one week.
Do not overclean. Overcleaning is like overwatering a plant.
