Always ensure you thoroughly wash your hands before touching the stud/earring or area pierced and cleanse the pierced area twice a day without removing stud/earring by lightly applying saline solution to the front and back of the pierced area.​

Between cleansing, keep the pierced area dry.

Do not allow soap or shampoo to build up behind the stud area or clasp, rinse well with saline solution upon bathing.

With clean hands, rotate the stud back and forth at least once a day.

Do not push the butterfly clasp along the post towards the ear. The butterfly clasp should always be positioned at the end of the post.

Only clean your new piercing as advised by your piercer and no other way unless advised to by a medical professional.

Always keep a new piercing clean - if you work in a dirty, dusty or oily environment keep it covered with a non-adhesive dressing. In particular navel, nipple and surface piercings.

Avoid contact sports, sun bathing, sun beds, and swimming until the pierced area is fully healed.

Avoid chewing gum with new oral piercings.

Avoid contact with genital piercings for 6 weeks.

Do not replace stud/earrings with other such item during the initial 6 week to 12 month depending on the pierced area.

Only change your jewellery as advised by your piercer.

Minor pain, redness and/or swelling may occur immediately - THIS IS NORMAL, this should settle within 48 hours proving the client faithfully follows the proper aftercare advised. If undue pain, redness and/or swelling occurs, return to the studio or contact your piercer.

If this persists consult your GP immediately, Do not remove the stud until you have consulted your doctor.

To avoid your piercing area from closing make sure you do not take your studs out  for the period advised by your piercer.

Once your piercing area is fully healed and as advised by your piercer, the stud can be removed from the pierced area and another post type earring should be worn, this should be 24CT plated or stainless steel and this type should be worn for at least another 2 months following the healing period.

No wire type earrings should be worn during this period.

The wearing of heavy earrings at any time may cause the pierced hole to stretch leaving a slit effect to the piercings.

During the first year of piercing the client should avoid going longer than 24 hours without wearing earrings, this will ensure the piercing area will not close.
