Piercings
Piercing Aftercare
What to Do
• Wash your hands before touching the piercing.
• Exercise is fine; avoid activities that aggravate the piercing.
• Change and wash bedding regularly; wear clean, breathable clothing.
• Showers are safer than baths; if bathing, clean the tub thoroughly beforehand.
What to Avoid
• Don’t twist or rotate the jewelry during healing.
• Don’t over-clean, as this can delay healing.
• Avoid trauma from clothing, movement, or playing with the jewelry.
• No oral contact, rough play, or exposure to bodily fluids near the piercing.
• Avoid stress, drugs, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
• Don’t submerge the piercing in lakes, pools, oceans, or hot tubs.
• Avoid beauty products on or near the piercing.
• Don’t hang charms from the jewelry until it’s fully healed.
