NEVER TOUCH YOUR NEW PIERCING WITH UNCLEAN HANDS. INFECTIONS CAN RUIN A NEW PIERCING!

For the next 2-3 months clean your piercing 1-2 times a day. First wash your hands before touching or cleaning your piercing as well as afterward. Clean piercing with sterile saline solution only, which can be purchased in the shop as well as at the store. Spray piercing with sterile saline and clean with either clean saline moistened qtip or a clean paper towel. Do not twist or rotate jewelry while cleaning.

The piercing may produce a lymph discharge, this will be white or clear and may dry to a crusty formation on the piercing and jewelry. It is advised to rinse with warm water while in shower and clean with sterile saline spray after shower and pat dry. Avoid picking the crust.

Start up jewelry should remain in for one to two months but can be changed by a piercer after four to six weeks. Only use jewelry made from titanium or niobium. It is very strongly recommend that you only purchase jewelry from a reputable piercing establishment as they will sell quality jewelry.

ORAL PIERCING AFTERCARE

For the next two weeks after consuming food rinse with an alcohol-free antibacterial mouth wash. After smoking or consuming any beverage other than water, rinse with distilled or bottled water. Swelling can be expected for 24-72 hours. Ice can be used to keep the swelling to a minimum. Ibuprofen can also help to reduce the swelling, especially at bed time(IF COMPATIBLE). It is recommended to have a piercer change the start up jewelry after four weeks, as start up jewelry is oversized to allow for swelling and may become uncomfortable when the swelling recedes. Highly recommend to check your jewelry balls to ensure they are tight(Wash hands first).
