Piercing Aftercare
The aftercare is just as important as the piercing itself.
Follow our tips and tricks for a happy healing process.
Do's
​Be extra careful not to get your piercing tangled when you change clothes & putting on mask/hijab.
Wash your hands before touching your new piercings. Keep the piercing clean & dry after shower, swimming or any other sport activities.
