About

Before getting a piercing, choose a professional piercer who uses a needle, has a clean studio, and explains the process thoroughly. Aftercare is crucial for proper healing and involves daily cleaning with a saline solution or mild soap, avoiding touching or twisting the jewelry, and keeping it clean and dry by not swimming in public pools. Expect some initial bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, and watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or a yellowish discharge.
