Piercing Aftercare

Swelling, redness & bleeding is normal. Please be super careful not to knock your piercing when bathing, changing, working out, etc! If you have any excessive swelling, please visit it us at your earliest opportunity as you will benefit from a free upsize to allow space for your piercing to breathe.

You may still be swollen & tender. Yellow crusts may form as a white blood cell barrier against bacteria. Please do not touch or pick at your crusties!

It is important that you come in & downsize to avoid migration & catching on clothing, you can also choose some new attachments if you wish.

Wash your hands prior to touching. If you have some of our saline spray, give it a squirt. If not, pour some boiling water into a cup with a pinch of sea salt. Clean the area with a clean cotton bud, then dry around it - as moisture can contain bacteria. Do not turn the jewellery or pick at your crusties, as you’ll break the seal. Do not sleep on your new piercing. After a genital piercing, sex can resume after 4-6 weeks.

Use antiseptic mouthwash (TCP) twice daily. Rinse with cooled, boiled sea-salt water after every meal. Do not nibble on your jewellery. Downsize after 2 weeks.

Sleeping on or bumping a piercing will slow down the healing process and may cause hypertrophic scarring (lumps & bumps) so please be careful. A chamomile tea bag compress will increase bloodflow & reduce any bumps.
