Piercing Aftercare Guide:

Avoid sleeping on your piercing, hun!
Sleeping on a fresh piercing (ear piercing/s) is common cause of healing problems because you put pressure and friction on the piercing, which can cause all kinds of complications such as irritation, pain, extra swelling, and bumps.
Do NOT touch your piercing!
Don't touch your piercing (or even scratch pierced area) unless you're cleaning it with recently washed hands— you may accidentally introduce bacteria and cause an infection. Make sure to keep clothing away that can pull your piercing jewelry.
Remember: too much rubbing or friction can irritate your skin and delay healing.
Avoid strong chemicals on your fresh piercing.
Avoid cleaning your piercing wound with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, soaps, iodine, or any products that contains harsh chemicals and/or using any ointments as they could injure the pierced skin and prevent necessary air circulation.
Avoid using any products around the piercing wound to avoid any infections or reactions, products includes; make-ups as these can damage cells.

Piercing FAQ's

• You wanna know a secret? the piercing process isn't entirely painful, but the healing process is. It's just your mind telling you that it's painful. It's the thought of the needle after all.2.Why do I need to downsize my piercing jewelry?
• To prevent irritation, bumps, swelling and discomfort in the piercing area.3. How do I avoid hurting my piercing?

You must be aware of your jewelry and your movements at all times. Always be mindful.4. What cause a piercing to migrate or reject?
• Migration and rejection may result from using a harsh aftercare product, following poor health habits, or experiencing excessive physical trauma or emotional stress during the healing period.
