Piercing Aftercare

Congratulations on getting your new piercing and we hope you enjoy it for years. The time required for your piercing to heal completely varies, in most cases jewelry must be left in for at least the first 5 months. Your piercing might look healed before this time but it's very important to be patient and wait the entire healing period before changing your jewelry out or ceasing your aftercare routine. If your piercing must come out sooner for medical reasons, often we can help you with this process so that you don't lose your piercing.  

If proper cleaning is done your risk of infection is greatly reduced. The most common problems are: 

• Not having the piercing done in a sterile environment. 
• Dirty hands or saliva touching it before it is healed. 
• Using a cleaning agent that can damage your piercing. 
• Wearing inferior quality jewelry or metals. 
• Proper cleaning not being performed daily. 
• "Playing" with jewelry before piercing is healed.

If you have any problem with healing we will be happy to help. We understand that since opening up in Columbus in 1994, people see us as the experts. So we will help with piercings that we didn't perform, however, understand we can only make suggestions, we are not physicians. A physician must be contacted as soon as possible if a problem persists.
