As with tattoos, it is essential to follow your piercer's instructions with regard to aftercare. The instructions below should be applied to all types of piercings, but it should be noted that the period of time for healing will differ from client to client.

• All piercings should be cleaned 2-3 times a day with a boiled water and salt solution. Rock/sea salt should be used if possible. Use about half a cup of boiled water and quarter of a teaspoon of salt. Make sure that the solution has cooled down before use. Always dry your piercing after cleaning. Ensure that the piercing is thoroughly clean before attempting to turn or move it.

• You should not go swimming for the duration of the healing period and it is advisable to shower rather than bath & never play with your piercing. It is an open wound and requires special care.
