Remember: A new piercing is an open wound and must be cared for to prevent infection and associated complications.<\/p>\n

The healthier your lifestyle, the quicker you will heal!<\/p>\n

Initially you may have some bleeding, swelling\/tenderness, redness\/discolouration and sometimes bruising.<\/p>\n

During healing you may have some discolouration, itching, secretions of whitish or yellow fluid (NOT pus) that will form around the entry point of your jewelry.<\/p>\n

Always wash your hands thoroughly before cleaning your piercing.<\/p>\n

Piercings require 3 daily cleanings with a piercing aftercare spray and\/or a saline solution. (for any mouth\/lip piercings rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash after eating\/drinking\/smoking.<\/p>\n

DO NOT REMOVE JEWELRY FOR CLEANING<\/p>\n

Avoid hotubs, lakes, pools and soaking in baths.<\/p>\n

DO NOT use antibiotic\/wound cleaning products (hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, Bactine or petroleum-based ointment)<\/p>\n

DO NOT overclean or play with your piercing during the healing period.. it will just prolong the healing process.<\/p>\n

Warning signs of infection: prolonged pain, swelling, excessive discharege, severe discolouration or shifting of a piercing. Consult with your piercer or physician right away if you suspect an infection.<\/p>\n

Leave your bandage on for a minimum of two hours.<\/p>\n

Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your healing tattoo<\/p>\n

After you remove your bandage, wash your tattoo with mild or antibacterial soap to gently wash away any ointment, blood and\/or plasma. Don\u2019t use a washcloth or anything abrasive, just your hand is best.\u00a0Pat dry with a clean towel or papertowel.<\/p>\n

After a day, you can start applying lotion as needed. You can use a speciality product such as InkEeze or any unscented lotion such as Lubriderm, Aveeno, etc.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to get your tattoo wet in the shower- just don\u2019t submerge it in any water for 2-3 weeks. This includes baths, hottubs, swimming pools and lakes\/oceans.
After a few days you\u2019ll notice some peeling and possibly some scabbing, DO NOT pick or scratch your tattoo! If it\u2019s itchy gently slap it.<\/p>\n

Always protect your tattoo from the sun with a minimum 30SPF sunblock.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions or concerns regarding aftercare, please give us a call!<\/p>\n

Drink lots of water and eat a good meal. Don\u2019t consume alcohol within 24 hours of getting your tattoo, as this causes blood thinning and excessive bleeding during your tattoo.<\/span><\/p>\n
