Every Couple of days you will need to check your jewellery to make sure the balls are tight (if your piercing has a ball or gem top.) but do not twist the bar.

• Do not spray solution directly onto the piercing as it may dry out the skin and make healing more difficult
• Do not use any other products to clean your piercing (ie. tcp, aloe vera, tea tree oil, alcohol etc)
• Do not pick at any scabs or crust building up on your piercing, soak gently with a cotton bud.
• Avoid any clothing or accessories that may irritate the piercing (eg high waisted pants, earphones etc.)
• Do not sleep on your piercings. Use a travel pillow if necessary.
• Avoid sand, seawater and swimming pools while piercing is healing.
  

The bar used in the initial piercing process is just for healing purposes. Once the piercing has fully healed and the swelling has gone down the bar will need to be changed to avoid being constantly hit off (usually 6-8 weeks).  Please call back to the studio at that time for a suitably sized bar.
In some cases bars can be changed down at 4 weeks if there is a lot of length on the bar.

Emergency Saline Solution

If you have any concerns, please return to the studio for professional advice
If you do not have sterile saline solution to hand or if soaking your piercing is required this is the correct way to make the solution at home, this is not a long term recommended replacement for sterile saline solution!

You will need:

• 1/4 teaspoon of NATURAL Sea Salt DO NOT USE table, mineral or himalayan salts
• 1/2 pint of boiled, filtered water

Directions:

1. Mix the two together in a clean and sterile container and leave to cool.
2. Once cool, use as above for sterile spray.
3. Find a sterile solution ASAP

• Keep covered with plasters as shown by your piercer for 24 hours a day for the first 3-4 days and at night-time for the first 7 days. 
• 2-3 times a week preform a saltwater soak (see bellybutton/nipple)

Bellybutton / Nipple Piercing

Nose Piercings

• Avoid make up, face masks, moisturisers etc anywhere near the piercing.
• Wear a breathable plaster over it at night-time for the first week

Oral Piercings
