Piercing Tips

If you have or plan on getting a new piercing, please keep these tips below in mind:

Surgical Stainless Steel

For Initial Piercing we strongly recommend staying with SURGIAL STAINLESS STEEL jewelry. Save the fancy stuff for after your piercing is healed! GOLD (being a porous metal) is prone to infection. Coloring on some jewelry can wear off, causing problems with initial piercings. Acrylic and plastic can scratch easily, and hold bacteria in the scratches.

Barebells

Barbell ‘s for initial piercing in NAVELS and EYEBROWS are a bad idea. They have a tendency to “pinch” the skin and that makes cleaning Difficult. RING’S on the other hand are much easier to clean, so with Proper care, healing time is reduced.

After Care

AFTERCARE is one of the most important things YOU can do for YOUR piercing. Be sure to get aftercare instructions and follow them. Your piercer is a professional and should keep well informed as to what method works best. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Avoid potentially damaging information from non-professionals.
