Always
wash hands thoroughly before handling your piercing.
THIS CAN NOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH. The
major cause of all piercing problems occur from handling the piercing with dirty
hands. Obtain a bottle of H2 Ocean spray.
After washing hands, with soap and water spray directly on the piercing. Allow
the spray to absorb into the piercing. Do not touch the body piercing while it
is healing! Also, do not let anyone else touch, lick or kiss the body piercing.
Do not let the body piercing come in contact with another persons bodily fluids.
Do not change the jewelry
until the piercing is completely healed. Some body piercings may take months to
years to completely heal.
Things to avoid: Hot tubs & public pools, alcohol, drugs, caffeine and asprin, tanning beds and direct sun light and tight fitting clothes. Also avoind using peroxide, alcohol or hand soap because they may damage healthy cells and cause scar tissue. While using H2Ocean sea salt spray avoid using any other product during the healing process.
Tongue Piercing
Obtain
a bottle of H2Ocean sea salt spray. Spray H2Ocean
spray directly onto pierced area. Allow spray to absorb into the tongue. Use
spray 3-6 times daily. Brush and gargle after every time you eat. Healing time
is approximately two weeks. Keep balls on the barbell tight so as not
to accidentally swallow them. Do so by grasping the bar ball by each end and
turning them towards each other. You may remove the barbell by reversing this
action. Because of the healing qualities of the mouth, removing the jewelry for
extended periods of time may cause the hole to close, even after the piercing is
healed. These instructions must be followed through out the healing process. We
do not recommend that you smoke during the healing or afterward. Smoking with a
fresh piercing can cause a variety of health risks. After your piercing is
healed completely, you may change the jewelry.
