Thank you for submitting
the piercing waiver!

Follow these instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. Most piercings will bleed at first but this should stop within a few minutes. Gentle pressure on or around the pierced site will slow bleeding, but if it is excessive or persists seek immediate medical attention. All pierced regions will tend to swell immediately after treatment, and the item of jewelry you have inserted will be designed to accommodate this. You can apply a warm compress to the piercing area to help with swelling.

 

General Care for All Piercings

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching or cleaning your piercing.

2. Clean your piercing 2-3 times daily with a sterile saline solution.- If you run out of what is provided to you, you can order this.

3. Avoid touching your piercing except when cleaning it.

4. Do not rotate, twist, or play with your jewelry.

5. Avoid makeup, lotions, or other products near the piercing site.

6. Do not remove or change your jewelry until the piercing is fully healed.

7. Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and bodies of water during the healing process.

8. Avoid harsh soaps, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or antibacterial ointments

9. Avoid going without jewelry, especially the first 6 months. The hole may close very quickly.
