General PIERCING After Care

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Dial Liquid Anti-Bacterial Soap - Preservative-free Sterile Saline Solution - Q-tips

PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING
Wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap before touching your piercing at any time during the healing process. The only time you should touch your new piercing is to clean it.

STEP 1 - After washing your hands, take a Q-tip and soak one side with saline solution. Squeeze q-tip and let it drip into your piercing. Let the saline  sit for 2 minutes  to soften the scabby matter that has built up on and around your piercing.

STEP 2 - Flip Q-tip over and soak other side with saline solution, gently scrub all scabby matter off jewelry.

STEP 3 -  Get your hands wet than apply a few drops of Dial Anti-bacterial soap in middle of hand and make suds. Then lather up piercing. Move jewelery around left to right or up or down which ever applies to your type of jewelery. 

STEP 4 - Leaning over a sink.  Rinse piercing with saline solution.  Let your piercing air dry, do not towel dry it. You can pat it dry with a clean paper towel if you wish. 
 
DO THIS 4 STEP PROCCEDURE 2 TIMES A DAY NO MORE NO LESS,

DO NOT LET YOUR NEW PIERCING COME IN CONTACT WITH BODILY FLUIDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. NO RUBBING ALCOHOL, HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE OR BACTINE! DO NOT CHANGE YOUR JEWELRY UNTIL IT IS FULLY HEALED, 3 MONTHS MINIMUM. 

Different piercings take different healing times, ask your piercer about yours specifically.
