*Piercings can tend to get irritation bumps from accidentally laying on it, touching it with unclean hands, snagging, etc. In the event that happens, after doing your regular aftercare, try a diluted tea tree oil (half tea tree oil/ half water) get a q-tip, leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water 2x daily. If you feel like like the skin around piercing is too dry from doing aftercare, use a non-scented moisturizer (A&D ointment, Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, etc.)

 

 

Oral Piercings 

Rinse tongue or lip piercing with Antiseptic Rinse 3x daily. Make sure to rinse mouth right after eating or drinking. Avoid smoking and vaping during the healing process.
