Piercing Aftercare

🔹 Piercing Aftercare Guide 🔹

Thank you for getting pierced with us! Proper care is key to a smooth healing process.

1. ✨ Cleaning Instructions:

• Clean your piercing twice a day using a saline solution (store-bought or a mix of 1/4 tsp sea salt in 1 cup of warm distilled water).
  
  

• Use a clean cotton pad or gauze—do not use Q-tips.
  
  

• Gently press to soften any dried discharge, then pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel.
  
  

• Do not rotate or twist the jewelry.
  
  

2. ❌ Things to Avoid:

• Do not touch your piercing with unwashed hands.
  
  

• Avoid alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, ointments, or harsh soaps.
  
  

• Don’t remove or change the jewelry until it’s fully healed.
  
  

• Avoid sleeping on the piercing, swimming pools, saunas, or submerging it in water during the healing period.
  
  

3. ⏳ Healing Time (Approximate):
