Proper aftercare is essential for safe healing and maintaining the beauty of your new piercing. Please follow these instructions carefully:
- Cleaning
Clean the piercing twice a day with a sterile saline solution.
- Wash your hands before touching the area.
- Apply saline gently.
- Remove any dried lymph without twisting the jewelry.
- Allow the area to air-dry naturally.
- Do Not Touch or Rotate
Avoid twisting, turning, or playing with the jewelry. Touch only when absolutely necessary and always with clean hands.
- Avoid Makeup & Skincare Products
Keep makeup, lotions, oils, and perfume away from the piercing area until fully healed.
- Avoid Swimming
Do not swim in pools, hot tubs, lakes, or oceans during the initial healing stage.
- Reduce Pressure & Friction
Avoid sleeping on fresh ear piercings and keep the area free from friction caused by helmets, masks, headphones, or tight clothing.
- Watch for Irritation
Normal: mild redness and slight swelling.
Seek help if you notice:
- Increasing redness
- Persistent swelling
- Yellow or green discharge
- Heat or sharp pain
- Do Not Remove Jewelry Early
Removing jewelry too soon may cause the piercing to close and trap bacteria inside.

- Earlobe: 6–8 weeks
- Helix/Cartilage: 4–12 months
- Nostril: 3–6 months
- Septum: 6–8 weeks

Be Patient
Healing is a gradual process. Stay consistent with aftercare and give your body time to heal.
Avoid Harsh Products
Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Vaseline, or thick ointments.
Do not over-clean — twice daily is enough.
