~Please  Don't Force Your Jewelry to Move~

If your jewelry moves around on its own

as you are cleaning it that is totally fine.

 

PLEASE DO NOT PICK AT YOUR PIERCING

Picking at or intentionally moving your jewelry can irritate your piercing,

cause excess inflammation and increase the risk of infection.

​​Please Do not force your jewelry to move especially when it's dry.

Your skin will NOT stick to your jewelry. That's a myth!

​

​

Helpful Information

Your piercing will drain a clear white/yellowish fluid throughout the healing period this is normal, it is "lymph plasma /dead skin cells" that needs to come out and drain. When this matter dries it turns into the "crusty stuff".

 Let it take its course, don’t pick it off, do not mistake it for puss, it’s not.

If you think your piercing is getting funky, call the shop Immediately.

 

Recommended Care  for Your New Piercing

 

For Below The Neck & Genital Piercings

Clean twice a day with a MILD BABY SOAP (OR) A MILD BODY WASH,

any brand that is mild enough for your personal skin.

 Use clean hands and make a nice lather with the soap in the shower then clean your piercing.

Make sure to rinse off the soap completely after each cleaning with water.

Mild Shampoo and Conditioners are fine if they come in contact with your piercings.

Clean your piercings after you have already washed and treated your hair.

​

​

DO NOT FORCE JEWELRY TO MOVE, if  it moves freely while cleaning it that’s ok.

 

 

For Tongue Piercings

READ THIS CAREFULLY!!

It is VERY IMPORTANT for the healing period that ORAL SEX or ANY ORAL CONTACT is avoided.

If you engage in any of this there is a much higher risk of infection.

Every time you eat or have a food snack we recommend you rinse out your mouth with a non-alcoholic mouthwash.

No need to rinse if you are just drinking liquids. 

DURING THE HEALING PERIOD OF YOUR NEW PIERCING

DO NOT DRINK OUT OF A STRAW

DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES!!

Drinking Alcohol increases your chance for Alcohol Poisoning!

 

 

For Lip and Labret Piercings

To clean the outside of the piercing you can use “BACTINE” using a Q-Tip or you can use a Mild FACIAL CLEANSER or Baby Soap.  gently clean the piercing two times a day.  ON THE INSIDE RINSE with “BIOTENE - MOUTHWASH” or you can SWISH with your TOOTHPASTE after you brush your teeth. (Biotene mouthwash is highly recommended)

DO NOT FORCE JEWELRY TO MOVE, if  it moves freely while cleaning it that’s ok.

 

Additional Facial Piercings

Piercings included on EARS, NOSE, EYEBROW, FACE. To clean your piercing you can use “BACTINE” using a Q-Tip or you can wash with a Mild Facial Cleaner or Baby Soap Wash. Gently clean the piercing two times a day. Be sure if you choose to use a FACIAL CLEANSER, it is MILD enough for “YOUR” skin and that you rinse it off with water after you have cleaned your piercing. (Make sure your cleanser does NOT contain Alpha Hydroxy or any other Acids, as they can irritate and inflame the piercings)

 

DO NOT pick at your piercing!

DO NOT force your jewelry to move!

​

~DO NOT USE~

We URGE you NOT to use ANY of these products below!!  

They are much to harsh for your skin and can cause a chemical burn, irritation, inflamation etc.

They can prevent the healing of new skin cells that are trying to form and will slow down

and /or prevent your piercing from healing completely!

 

NO ALCOHOL!  

Rubbing Alcohol is very bad for your skin, Unless you want to dry the crap out of it, DO NOT use it on your piercings.

Alcohol should be used to clean glass around the house, the toilet, your shoes, or your car windows!

Seriously unless you are in the middle of the jungle and you get a nasty wound,

if you happen to have a bottle of alcohol in your pocket then you can scrub the crap out of it, but only in times of disparity.  

The reason why it stings and burns when you put it on a cut is that its ACTUALLY BURNING YOUR SKIN! 

It can cause excoritation on the skin ie : little micro tears in the tissue that will get inflamed and irritated and that makes more entry way for even more bacteria to come into the piercing hang out and have a party.  

There are better ways to keep your piercing clean without destroying the good cells that are trying to form.

DO NOT USE IT!!

 

  NO PEROXIDE!

The above explanation works with this as well 

Peroxide is part Bleach! YES BLEACH! Would you normally pore bleach on a cut? 

Please don't try to DISINFECT your new piercing with it!

Piercings do not need to be "DISINFECTED" OR STERILIZED"

If you keep your piercings clean and air dry

and keep your FINGERS OFF!

Your immune system and you body will get to work

and help to heal your new piercing nice and quick :) 

Just remember stay hydrated and eat right also!

 

                                                   

    NO SALT WATER SOAKS!

 Not sure about it? Call us at the shop! 

Excessive soaking a wound is a bad idea.

If you add salt in a shot glass and soak it,  then it's a REALLY BAD idea!  

 

Another great example.....

If you get a pretty good cut on your finger, you are probably

 going to be careful and not even do the dishes for a few days right?

Let alone soak the cut in saltwater, because it will get extra oozy and inflamed. 

We would not soak a fresh piercing either.

Inflamed piercings are not fun! When you use harsh chemicals on your

piercing all you are doing is forcing your body to fight the inflaming solution

destroying any new cells that are trying to form. 

Just clean your piercing with a mild facial cleanser or body wash in the shower

and leave it alone to heal.

​

​

Swimming - in ocean - yes you can.

If you are going to clean tropical place for vacation like Hawaii, Fiji, The Maldives

where the water is clean you most likely can enjoy the Saltwater. 

 This is because the Natural Ocean has amazing healing capabilities with all of the minerals and coral.

But you just can't get the same "salt Ocean water" in a bottle off the shelf

in a drug store or market.

Just be careful of water bacteria warnings where you are swimming,

and avoid soaking to long in one period of time if the piercing is super fresh.
