Piercing Care Instructions

Basic Care - Your New Piercing should be cleaned 2 - 3 times daily using a liquid antibacterial soap from a pump style dispenser. Do Not use a BAR Soap. Always clean your hands with Antibacterial soap and Water before handling your piercing. Soak the Piercing under warm water to help remove scabbing or discharge from the Jewelry. Then lather soap on the piercing and the surrounding area. Gently rotate the jewelry ONLY WHILE CLEANING so that soap cleans the inside of the piercing, Once again rotate the jewelry with rinsing with clean water so that no soap is left on or in the piercing.After your jewelry is cleaned it is good idea to use a sea-salt water solution 3-5 Daily. We have found they speed healing and ease discomfort. A premixed Sea-Salt After Care product is Available at Studio One.

Tongue and Lip Care - During the first 2-3 weeks the Mouth should be rinsed AFTER EATING, DRINKING, or SMOKING ANYTHING with an ANTISEPTIC MOUTHWASH (Like Listerine). In addition to the Mouthwash you can also use Gly-oxide or peroxyl once or twice daily, following the directions on the Bottle. Also some people like to Gargle with with warm salt water helps to speed healing and reduce soreness. Swelling and Soreness can last from 3-7 days, To help minimize this you can eat cold items, like ice cubes, popsicles, ice cream.. ect. Advil, Aleave or another over the counter Anti- Inflammatory could also help in reducing Swelling... PLEASE FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED DOSAGE ON THE LABEL. During the first two weeks try to avoid spicy foods and hot beverages. Also during the first month avoid wet kissing and unprotected oral sex. With Lip piercings the outside should also be cleaned twice Daily following directions under "Basic Care"

REMEMBER THESE HEALING TIPS
- DO NOT TOUCH OR PLAY WITH YOUR PIERCING UNLESS YOU ARE CLEANING IT. Thoroughly wash hands with Antibacterial soap before Touching Jewelry.
- Dirty Cloths, Hair and Make-Up products should be kept off and away from the Piercing at all times.
- DO NOT wear tight fitting cloths over your piercing, Especially with Navel Piercing.
- Staying healthy and getting good sleep will help your body heal faster. Vitamins such as Zinc and Vitamin C are helpful in healing.
- DO NOT USE Rubbing Alcohol, Peroxide or Antibiotic Ointments on your Piercing. With Genital Piercing avoid unprotected sex and oral sex, especially for the first few weeks.
- During healing you should avoid hot tubs and public pools. Although salt water and chlorine can help healing, the bacteria and pollution in the water does not.
- If your jewelry has threaded balls, you should occasionally check them to make sure they are tight.
