Piercing After Care

1. Cleanse your piercing 3 -5 times a day with a sea salt saline mixture. Using 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt per 8 ounces of distilled water, mix your solution in a clean plastic bottle with a lid. Be sure to use no more than 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, more is not always better.
   
   
2. After 7 days you can begin to gently remove any crusty deposits while you clean with a well dowsed Q-tip. There is no need to move your jewelry! Any small deposit or dirt that enters your piercing could potentially slow the healing process.
   
   
3. Soak your piercing twice a week for 10 - 15 minutes to help prevent infection. Make a fresh batch of your saline solution, and place in the microwave until warm. Use a few soaked cottonballs or a small cup placed gently on the piercing.

• Do not use hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or bactine.

• Do not use neosporin or any other ointment

• Do not touch your piercing with dirty hands

• Stay out of shared water while it is healing

• Be sure to consult piercer or Web site for appropriate healing
  times before changing jewelry.
