day. Don't use a variety of cleaning agents or problems will arise.

pump.

2. Remove any "crusties" that have dried on the jewelry and
around the piercing with warm water and a Q-tip.
3. Put the dial on the jewelry with a Q-tip. Turn the jewelry so it
gets inside the piercing.
4. Rinse the jewelry and opening thoroughly with water turning
the jewelry. If all the soap is not removed, irritation will occur.
Further Healing Suggestions

decrease healing time. Many piercing heal faster if a hot soak of 1
cup clean hot water and 1/4 tsp. Sea salt used. Apply a a cotton
ball soaked with the mixture using a firm gentle pressure turning
the jewelry every couple of minutes. Keep your clothes clean. If
your piercing is always touching dirty clothes problems will
occur. Don't put special beads or charms on jewelry until after the
initial healing time. Don't change your jewelry until after the
initial healing time. If this is a must we will change the jewelry for
you.

ORAL CLEANING
You must rinse after you eat, smoke or drink for the first
month. We have found that Biotine mouthwash. Are the
most affective aftercare to heal your piercing. If you are
a heavy smoker you might find that just rinsing out with
salt water might work better if your tongue starts to turn
a whitish color. In addition with oral piercing it is a must
that you refrain from oral sex and deep mouth kissing
until after the initial healing time. You also need to be on
a soft diet for the first 2 weeks or you will rip your
piercing. You will get lymph on your piercing which
comes from our spine it will look white or a greenish
color just take your tooth brush and gently clean it off.
In about a week when all the swelling is gone. You can
down size your barbell to a 14g 5/8". Wash your hands
thoroughly, This a must! Check to make sure that the
threading is still tight. If you have a labret or lip piercing
you will also need to follow the guidelines of the
attached paper on facial cleaning.

decrease healing time. Any swelling ice,sucrets and
500mg ibuprofen will help with the pain.
Piercing Dont's
Stay away from aspirin, large amounts of caffeine and
alcoholic beverages for the first several days. Alcoholic
