Body Piercing

Here are a few tips to help the healing process:

Clean the piercing site twice a day with salt water solution (try using cotton buds or pads)

Do NOT twist/rotate/fiddle with the earrings at all during the healing process

Keep an eye on the back of the earring and make sure it fits well. Having the back tight against your ear during swelling will increase the risk of embedding but having the back too loose could mean it will fall off and the jewellery will come out.

Make sure your hands are clean and dry before touching your piercing

Do not remove/try to change your jewellery until it is fully healed

A small amount of redness, swelling and soreness is normal during the first couple of days after a piercing; however if your ear is persistently swollen, painful, hot or secreting any discharge, please return to your piercer for assessment.

Aftercare

• Maintain cleanliness of telephones, headphones, eyeglasses, helmets, hats, and anything that contacts the pierced area.
• Use cation when styling your hair and advise your stylist of a new or healing piercing.

• Once healed: If you fail to include cleaning your piercing as part of your daily hygiene routine, normal but smelly bodily secretions may accumulate.• Make sure your bedding is washed and changed regularly. Wear clean, comfortable, breathable clothing that protects your piercing while you are sleeping.
• Showers tend to be safer than taking baths, as bathtubs can harbor bacteria. If you bathe in a tub, clean it well before each use and rinse off your piercing when you get out.

• Avoid over-cleaning. This can delay your healing and irritate your piercing.

• Avoid undue trauma such as friction from clothing, excessive motion of the area, playing with the jewelry, and vigorous cleaning. These activities can cause the formation of unsightly and uncomfortable scar tissue, migration, prolonged healing, and other complications.
