Decisions made impulsively rarely end well. Give this important step a thought, and be confident in the direction you’re going. Consider the location of the piercing, how long it will take to heal, and the jewelry you’ll wear there.
You only have one chance to get your piercing right—so make sure you visit a reputable and professional piercer.
Give your piercing the best start by wearing quality jewelry as it heals. Surgical grade studs are always a great choice. They go with anything, and you can add them to your jewelry wardrobe and wear them again and again.
Clean your piercing at least twice a day with clean hands. Do not touch your piercing for no reason and do not pull or rotate your jewellery.
These products are too harsh, especially for fresh wounds.
Even though you should clean your wounds regularly, don’t overdo it. If your skin stays wet constantly, bacteria can breed and create an infection.
We love sterling silver earrings, but not while we’re healing—it can have traces of lead. Instead, use titanium, surgical stainless steel, or 14K gold for best results. Once healed, you can wear all of the sterling silver earrings you want!
If you are tempted to change your jewelry before it’s healed, don’t. Know that healing takes time—even months, depending on where you were pierced. Stay patient and stick with your cleaning protocol, and know the results will be worth the wait.
