How do I care for a new piercing?

Avoid doing these things...

• Always wash your hands before touching your piercing or mixing your Epsom salt solution.

• Do not play with the piercing while it is healing.

• Avoid contact with other bodily fluids before touching the piercing.

• Avoid lakes, pools, rivers, hot tubs, and bath tubs for at least two weeks in order to avoid bacteria.

• Do not sleep on your piercing.

• Limit exposure to skin products, makeup, and hair chemicals.

• Avoid irritants like alcohol, peroxide, creams, lotions, and ointments. These will prolong the healing time and irritate the piercing.

DO THESE THINGS...

• Soak the piercing in warm Epsom salt water for 5 minutes and clean off “crusts” with the edge of a paper towel

• Use ratios of 1/4 tsp to 1 cup water, 1/2 tsp to 2 cups water, 1 tsp to 4 cups water to make the saline solution

• Soak the piercing 2-4 times daily during the healing process of one month to three months

• Dial soap is also an approved cleaning product to use in place of salt solution. Clean 2-3 times a day with warm water.

• If you think there are signs of infection, please reach out!

How do I care for a new tattoo?

Traditional Bandage:

Leave bandage on for 2 to 3 hours and remove at home. Wash with unscented/antibacterial soap; apply recommended ointment (sparingly) for the first full day, then switch to an unscented lotion for the remainder of the healing period (approximately 1 to 4 weeks).

​

Clear Film Bandage: (i.e. Saniderm, Second Skin, etc.)

Leave bandage on for 1-3 days (per your artist's recommendation). Remove under warm water by peeling upward; apply unscented lotion for the remainder of healing (approximately 1-4 weeks). If your bandage rips/leaks, or if you develop a reaction to the adhesive, remove it and follow the instructions above. 

​

• DO NOT soak your tattoo in the bathtub and do not expose it to river water, lake water, chlorine, etc.

• DO NOT pick scabs.

• DO NOT expose your tattoo to excessive sunburn or other tanning regime.
