In the Event Your New Piercing Gets an Irritation Bump
-
Spray your saline or use purified water on a non-woven gauze pad.
-
Heat it up on a clean plate for 15–20 seconds.
-
Hold the gauze to your piercing with minimal to light pressure for 10 minutes.
This can be done twice a day. If piercing bump persists after a week, please contact the shop immediately!
Do not remove your jewelry for any extended period of time, as piercings can close and shrink very quickly, even when fully healed.
Keep up on hygiene and keep a healthy immune system. The healthier and more hygienic you are, the better chances you have for a happy and healthy healing process.
Don’t use any products like Bactine, Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, etc. on your piercing(s).
If you have any questions/concerns about your piercing(s), message us or come into the shop.
