Tips, hints, and common
sense
-
-
· NEVER clean ANY piercing with
alcohol, peroxide, or iodine (Betadine)
-
-
· DO NOT play with your piercing
while it is healing….let it rest.
-
-
· Keep all bodily fluids away
from healing piercings. (your own are fine,silly)
-
-
· Expect a whitish colored fluid
to come out of the piercing…..
-
this is called lymph, its mostly dead
skin cells and plasma. Don't worry…..this isn't pus.
-
-
· If you have a question call
and ask!!! We are more than happy to assist you with your
new piercing.
-
-
· Avoid alcohol for the first
week. This can lead to excessive swelling.
-
-
· Avoid unprotected oral sex
and wet kissing for the first month.
-
-
· Avoid hot, spicy foods. Also
foods that are crusty or
-
crunchy will irritate your piercing
for the first couple of weeks.
-
· Avoid excessive talking for
the first few weeks.
-
-
· To avoid heavy swelling at
night, sleep with your head slightly
-
elevated above your heart…this
will relieve the pressure to your tongue.
· Keep lots of ice in your mouth to relieve swelling.(popsicles,
flavor ice, slurpees work well too)
-
-
· Take ibuprofen to relieve swelling
and discomfort.
-
· If you like your piercing keep
jewelry in it at all times!
-
Even healed piercings can shrink or
close in minutes, even
-
after being healed for years. If your
jewelry falls out and can't be easily
-
put back into place DO NOT force it
through. See a piercer as
-
soon as possible, the jewelry can usually
be re-inserted without too much trouble.
-
-
During the first couple of weeks your
new piercing is going to be
-
a little tender, it may also bleed a
little if it is bumped or
-
moved the wrong way…this is normal.
-
You may also notice some discoloration
around the piercing , this too is normal.
