The Safest Way to Care for Your Newly Pierced Ears

Piercing Aftercare Do’s & Dont’s

Taking care of your new piercing varies based on needle and device option.

Make sure to read the right one.

How to Care for a Needle Piercing

Always wash your hands before touching your earrings. Try your best to limit touching your ears to only when you are cleaning.
Clean your piercing with our saline solution 2 to 3 times a day for at least 30 days—front and back.
Leave room in front and back of the earrings. And ask about our comfortable ear pillow to ensure proper healing during sleep.
Disinfect anything that goes in, on, or around your ears once daily to decrease the risk of introducing bacteria to the site. This includes cellphones, headphones, airpods, eye-glasses, sunglasses, headbands, etc.
Give your earrings a good rinse for about 30 seconds with warm water in the shower, especially after washing your hair.
Avoid getting your earrings tangled or pulled by your hair, headphones, mask or glasses.
To avoid your piercing from closing, wear earrings consistently for one year post piercing. Especially the hypoallergenic ones.

What NOT to do while healing from needle piercing

No touching, twisting, or rotating your new piercing.
No sleeping on your new piercing.
No rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean your earrings.
No soaps, creams, or ointments should be used on your healing piercing.
No brass, nickel, or zinc containing earrings. Premium hypoallergenic earrings only!
No heavy earrings until you’re fully healed.
No swimming. And no submerging earrings in water you wouldn’t normally drink for 30 days.
