Piercing AftercareUpdated 3 days ago

Piercing Aftercare Information 💎

How to care for your piercing:

  • Always wash your hands before cleaning your piercing, and spray the aftercare spray directly onto the front and back of your piercing.  Gently dry with thick, non-fibrous paper towel.  Repeat 2-3 times a day
  • Try not to sleep on your pierced ear, and avoid twisting, moving and touching the piercing unnecessarily
  • Restrict physical activities such as bathing, recreational water activities, gardening, or contact with animals for at least 4 weeks
  • Wait until your piercing has fully healed before changing the jewelry



Signs and symptoms of infection, include but are not limited to:

  • Red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart
  • Elevated body temperature
  • Purulent drainage from the procedure site



If you experience any of the above please seek medical advice.


Downsizing

As part of your piercing healing journey, it is really important to understand and explore your downsizing options, as depending on your piercing location, personal anatomy and healing journey, downsizing is an important step in your healing process! Here is a link to find out more about the service.


*Please note that, as this is a body modification procedure, there is an inherent risk of infection. While we take every precaution to minimise this risk, as outlined in the signed Piercing Release Form, Astrid & Miyu cannot be held liable should complications occur.
