Remember, whether you’re getting initial piercings or adding to a growing collection, your piercing depends on proper technique and proper aftercare.
Avoid rubbing alcohol and harsh cleansers, and always work with a trained professional using sterilized tools. Single-use instruments are preferable since a reusable piercing gun can’t be fully sterilized.
Good hygiene helps prevent infections and ensures your new piercing jewelry looks as good as it feels.
