PIERCING AFTERCARE
So you've got your brand new piercing, yay! Now let us tell you the best way to take care of it, for a smooth healing time.
Cleaning your piercing
Always wash your hands before cleaning or touching your piercing.
Use a cotton swab and dip this in the our aftercare or a saline solution with no alcohol. Use one side to clean the front of your piercing and the other for the back. Do this at least twice per day during 2 months.
Even though your ear might look healed, this does not mean that the piercing process is complete. Stay patient and keep cleaning your piercing during the healing time.
Precautions

Make sure your piercing is screwed on tightly after cleaning it & check it regulary after a night's sleep.
Do not remove your piercing during the healing process unless by a medical professional.
Stay healhty, get enough sleep and balanced meals.
Be careful with excercise during the healing process and try to avoid friction caused by clothing, this could lead to a longer healing time and complications.
