Sleep well prior to your appointment 3. No coffee, blood thinning meds, drug or alcohol intake. 4. Try to RELAX, (don’t worry- I’ll help you with this!) PIERCING AFTERCARE: 1. Wash your hands prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason. (But please do your best to leave the piercing alone, unless cleaning!) 2. Saline rinse twice daily during healing. Certain piercing placements may be easier to clean with a sterile gauze or q-tip soaked in saline. 3. DO NOT TOUCH THE PIERCING! It is NOT necessary to rotate or move the jewlery as its healing. 4. Piercing pillows (or travel pillows), are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for ear piercings, especially cartilage. These will help healing by keeping pressure off the new piercing while your sleeping. 6. Do not submerge the piercing in any body of water for 6-8 weeks. 7. For ear piercings: Keep earbuds, over the ear headphones, stethoscopes, hats, etc- off the piercing while healing. 8. For optimal healing- limit stress, get plenty of rest, eat healthy and drink plenty of fluids! 9. Keep piercing dry. Do not sleep with wet hair near piercing, and be sure to clean & dry around area (front & back) after workouts or excessive sweating. A blow dryer on a cool setting is great to use to piercing areas that retain moisture!
