Piercing Aftercare-

• Carefully wash around piercing area once a day with liquid antibacterial soap for as long as you have your piercing. (not necessary for tongue piercings)

• There is no need to rotate jewelry during cleaning. 

• For the first week use a sea salt soak to help clean out dead skin cells. Dilute 1/2-3/4 a teaspoon of sea salt in a small cup of very warm water. Cup it around the piercing and let it soak for 1-2 minutes. 

• keep makeup off all facial piercings. 

• Navels/Nipples: Wear loose-fitting clothing during healing. (3-4 weeks)

• Oral piercings: Use listerine diluted with water after eating, drinking, or smoking for the first month.

• Tongues: Keep ice on the tongue throughout the first day after you have been pierced. Take an ibuprofen now, and before going to bed tonight. Sleep with two pillows to keep your head above your heart. This will keep swelling to a minimum.

• KEEP HANDS OFF
