💜 Welcome To Your Healing Journey

First, thank you for trusting me with your piercing.

A piercing is more than jewelry — it is a new addition to your body, and proper care is what helps create a happy, healthy healing experience.

Your new piercing is considered a puncture wound and should be treated gently while your body does the amazing work of healing.

Healing is a partnership:
I created the piercing, but your daily care creates the final result. 💜

🫧 How To Clean Your New Piercing

Clean your piercing twice daily using sterile saline wound wash.

Step 1:

Wash your hands before touching anywhere near your piercing.

Step 2:

Spray wound wash on both the entrance and exit area of your piercing.

Allow it to sit for 5–10 seconds to soften any buildup.

Step 3:

Use a clean Q-tip moistened with wound wash to gently clean around the jewelry.

Step 4:

Dry the area with a clean, dry Q-tip.

Moisture left behind can contribute to irritation, so keeping your piercing clean AND dry is important.

✨ About “Crusties”

Those little crusties around your jewelry are a normal part of healing.

Do not pick them.

If they do not rinse away naturally in the shower, gently soften them with wound wash before cleaning.

Your body is healing — let it work.

🚫 What NOT To Use On Your Piercing

Please avoid:

❌ Alcohol
❌ Hydrogen peroxide
❌ Tea tree oil
❌ Bactine
❌ Witch hazel
❌ Ointments or creams unless directed

These products can be too harsh and may slow down your healing process.

🙌 Hands Off = Happy Healing

Please do not:

❌ Twist your jewelry
❌ Spin your jewelry
❌ Play with your jewelry
❌ Remove your jewelry early

If you need to touch your piercing, always wash your hands first.

🚿 Shower & Daily Care Tips

At the end of your shower, rinse your piercing well with clean water to remove:

• shampoo
• conditioner
• body wash
• facial products

Hair products, skincare products, and makeup can irritate a healing piercing.

Make cleaning your piercing the final step of your daily routine.

💤 Protect Your Piercing

Your piercing needs protection while it heals.

Be mindful of:

• towels
• clothing
• blankets
• brushes
• combs
• hair tools
• sports equipment
• headphones
• accidental bumps

Ear piercings:
Try not to sleep directly on your new piercing.

A travel pillow can help cradle your ear and prevent pressure while sleeping.

Nose piercings:
Be careful with towels, clothing changes, and anything that could catch your jewelry.

🛏️ Keep Your Environment Clean

Healthy lifestyles and clean habits support healthy piercings.

Remember:

✨ Change and wash pillowcases regularly
✨ Keep bedding clean
✨ Be cautious sleeping with pets around fresh piercings

Animals naturally carry bacteria that can transfer onto bedding and healing piercings.

⚠️ Piercing Bumps & Concerns

Piercing bumps usually mean your piercing is irritated and trying to tell us something.

Please do not panic.

Do not remove your jewelry.

Message me so we can figure out what is causing the irritation and get you back on track.

💜 One Last Reminder From Shannon

You will hear me repeat this because I truly want you to have the best experience possible:

Please follow YOUR aftercare instructions — not random internet advice, videos, or social media comments.

Every piercing and every person is different.

Your piercer is your best resource.

I am so excited to be part of your piercing journey, and I look forward to being your piercer for many years to come.

Never hesitate to reach out with questions.

I am here for you. 💜✨
