• Do NOT touch, twist, rotate, or pick at scabs or jewelry.

• Avoid submerging the piercing in unsterilized water (pools, hot tubs, ocean, or baths) for at least 4–6 weeks.

• Keep hair products, makeup, lotions, and harsh chemicals away from fresh piercings.

• Avoid sleeping directly on fresh ear piercings (use a travel pillow/donut pillow to suspend your ear).

What to Expect:

• Mild redness, localized swelling, and clear/whitish fluid discharge that forms a crust are completely normal during initial healing.

• If you experience extreme throbbing, severe swelling, heat, or yellow/green pus, contact us or a medical professional immediately.
