INK-$99 Piercing Aftercare
CONGRATULATIONS! You have just received a body piercing by a skilled and certified INK-$99 piercer, providing you a beautiful piercing for years to come! Although your piercer cleaned and disinfected the area they pierced for you, it is now up to you to take care of your piercing moving forward. Please make sure to follow the specific directions that were given to you by your piercer at all times. For your quick reference, below are the basic do’s and dont's for you to refer to…
DO'S
DO: Shower each day. The water will help your piercing stay healthy, and will aid you in the cleaning of it as well.
DO: Clean your piercing 1-2 times a day.
DO: Check that the beads on your threaded jewelry are screwed on tight. You don’t want to lose your piercing or your jewelry to something that is so easy to check.
DO: Eat right & take care of yourself. Good health and hygiene are important factors in how fast your piercings heal.
DO: Minimize exposure to the sun for at least the first 2 weeks.
DON'TS
DON'T: Mix products used for cleaning your piercing!!! You should only use one aftercare product the entire time.
DON'T: Go swimming in fresh, salt, or chlorinated waters for at least 2 weeks.
DON'T: Bandage your piercing unless necessary (work, construction, etc.). If you must bandage the piercing use sterile bandages only!
DON'T: Use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or betadine (Iodine) on your piercing. These products are very harsh and will do more damage than good!
DON'T: Use any petroleum based products on your piercing - EVER!!! These products include Neosporin, Triple Antibiotic ointments, Bacitracin, Vaseline, ETC.
DON'T: Touch your piercing with dirty hands! Nor let anyone else touch your piercing with their dirty hands!
DON'T: Have oral contact with a new piercing!!! Keep your mouth and other people’s mouths off your piercing!!!
DON'T: Take jewelry out of your piercing for any amount of time until the piercing is completely healed (At least 6 months to be safe). You risk losing the piercing if you do so. If you need it changed for any reason, come back and see your piercer to change it out for you.
DON'T: Hesitate to contact Dream House INK about ANYTHING! We will gladly answer any question you have.
DON'T: Listen to what your friends tell you!!! Listen ONLY to a trained professional piercer. Please understand that every person’s body is different and what may have worked for a friend may actually be harmful to you!
