AFtercare Guidelines
Keep it clean (2x daily), keep it dry, avoid touching, and downsize as needed.
-
Wash your hands before touching or cleaning your piercing.
Clean the front and back with a sterile saline wound wash 1–2 times daily. Dry gently with a clean paper towel, gauze, or Q-tip.
Avoid unnecessary touching, twisting, or forcing movement. Your piercing may shift naturally.
Try not to sleep on your piercing. Use a travel pillow or piercing pillow to reduce pressure.
Be mindful of bumping or snagging from clothing, hair, or headphones.
Keep lotions, cosmetics, and personal care products away from your piercing. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after showering.
Avoid submerging your piercing in pools, hot tubs, lakes, oceans, or baths for at least 2 months. Stick to clean running shower water.
-
Clean the outside of your piercing with saline 1–2 times daily.
Rinse internally with clean water in the morning, at night, and after eating, drinking, or smoking.
Be gentle when brushing your teeth to avoid irritation.
-
Swelling
Clear, white, or slightly yellow discharge
Redness or bruising
Minor bleeding
Formation of “crusties” around the piercing
-
Downsize or upsize your jewelry as recommended by your piercer, usually 4–6 weeks after most of the swelling subsides and a good portion of the post is visible.
Properly sized jewelry helps to maintain the correct angle and placement, reduces irritation or snagging, and supports healthy, long-term healing.
