Piercing Aftercare

Swelling, redness & bleeding is normal. Please be super careful not to knock your piercing when bathing, changing, working out, etc!

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.
