Piercing care

• Sterile saline solution: Sterile saline solution is needed for piercing care, which you can buy from us or at a pharmacy in the form of sterile seawater for daily nasal hygiene for infants. Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or antiseptics to treat the piercing (only if necessary and for a limited time, according to the instructions).

• Treatment frequency: Treat the piercing 2-3 times a day with clean hands using a cotton swab, cotton pad or gauze.

• Scab removal: Harder scabs from lymph and blood plasma form around a fresh piercing. Do not scratch them, but first moisten them and when they soften, gently remove them.

• Stability of the jewelry: Do not move the jewelry during treatment, as this interferes with healing. In no case do not remove the jewelry for cleaning. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless they have been washed or disinfected. Avoid touching the piercing with your hands, hair, underwear or clothing.

• Protection from damage: If you are not sure that the piercing is sufficiently protected from mechanical damage, cover it with a patch. With an unhealed piercing, it is forbidden to visit the swimming pool, sauna and other public swimming pools, including natural ones.

• Physical activity: During healing, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that may cause you to sweat a lot or injure your fresh piercing. Sweat, along with secretions and dirt that stick to it, can lead to infections and inflammation of the piercing. You can safely practice with a piercing, but be careful. After exercising, rinse the piercing with clean water and treat with a saline solution.

• Piercing problems: If you have a problem with your piercing – burning, pain or pus – contact the studio immediately. Call for urgent cases, write for less urgent cases and attach a photo taken in good light to show the problem. Be very careful when taking a photo with a piercing.

• Immunity: A piercing is a mechanical damage to the skin, so good immunity plays a big role in the healing process. Take care of your immunity: enough sleep, rest, good food and walks in the fresh air. Consumption of alcohol, drugs and smoking impair immunity and subsequently the healing process.

• Shortening the jewelry: Some types of piercings require shortening the jewelry after about 6-12 weeks. Sometimes there are several abbreviations. In our studio, you do not pay for the shortening service if you have a piercing from us. Payment is made for jewelry only.

• Oral hygiene: If you have a piercing in your mouth, use alcohol-free mouthwash and always rinse your mouth for about 15 seconds after eating. If this is not part of your daily dental hygiene, plain clean water (filtered, bottled or boiled) is sufficient. Take care of oral hygiene as it is important to speed up healing.

• Drink and diet: For the first 3-4 hours after the procedure, drink only water, cold tea or an iced still drink without sugar or alcohol. Then rinse your mouth.

• Oral sex and kissing: Avoid oral sex and kissing during healing, especially for the first 14 days. Then follow your feelings, it is best not to rush them, so as not to cause trauma.

• Alcohol and smoking: We do not recommend drinking alcohol and smoking while the oral piercing is healing, as this can cause bleeding. If you are a smoker, you don't have to give up smoking, but try to limit it and rinse your mouth with clean water after smoking.
