PIERCING AFTERCARE

DO:

✔️ Clean your piercing ONCE A DAY using sterile saline solution or the aftercare spray we sell at the salon.

✔️ Wash your hands before touching your piercing.

✔️ Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel—never use a cloth towel.

✔️ Sleep on your back when possible to avoid pressure on your piercing. Change your bed sheets and pillow case often.

✔️ Stick with your starter jewelry for the full healing time of your piercing site

✔️ Avoid hairspray, dry shampoo, and makeup near your piercing.

DON’T:

❌ Don’t touch your new piercing.

❌ Don’t twist or turn your jewelry (it slows healing).

❌ Don’t use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, soaps, or ointments—they can be too harsh.

❌ Don’t remove your jewelry early, even if it looks healed.

❌ Don’t submerge your piercing in pools, lakes, or hot tubs for at least 4 weeks.

❌ Don’t sleep directly on your new piercing.
