Normal piercings:
Your body produces a natural fluid called lymph. It is a clear fluid. That is what needs to be
cleaned off. It is cleaned with saline. The reason we use saline is because the body contains both
salt and water. There is nothing unnatural for your body to reject.
You can purchase contact lens saline solution at any drug store or other store such as Wal-Mart.
Clean the area three times a day with saline and a Q-Tip.
Clean top and bottom of piercing and rotate jewelry (Morning Afternoon & Night)
When in the shower, wash entire body (including hair) stand under water and rotate jewelry to
rinse out any soap or other body fluids.
If your piercing becomes tight or extra dry, it is acceptable to use a small amount of bacitracin or
A&D ointment only placed via q-tip. Wipe off any excess after rotating jewelry.
Oral Piercings:
Your piercing will be swollen for at least a week. To reduce swelling, ibuprofen and freez-ee pops.
It is important to eat food soft in nature such as mashed potatoes, soup, macaroni and cheese.
Any food that has little chewing or irritation to the piercing is best.
If you cannot eat anything at all, please use supplement products such as Slim Fast, Boost, or
Ensure. They provide the vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain proper health. If you do
not keep your vitamin level up, you will get a white coating over your tongue. That is a vitamin
deficiency. Take a one a day vitamin for a few days and that will clear the substance up.
Rinse with any antiseptic mouthwash (other than SCOPE) the piercing after putting anything in
your mouth other than water or freez-ee pops for approximately 6-8 weeks. If you smoke, rinse
after every 2 or 3 cigarettes
No alcoholic beverages for 2-3 days but if you must drink, stay away from beer and wine because
they do contain yeast which may give you a yeast infection in your mouth.
Genital Piercings:
Urinate into your hand, rotate jewelry back and forth.
Follow behind with bacitracin or A&D ointment at least 3 times a day.
When in the shower, wash entire body (including hair) stand under water and rotate jewelry to
rinse out any soap or other body fluids.
Follow behind with bacitracin or A&D ointment at least 3 times a day.
No heavy “action” or major stress for at least 6 weeks. Common sense says that if it hurts, don’t
do it.
