| How to take care for your piercing |
Two hours after you’ve had your piercing done the applied ointment on it will dry up. As soon as this happens, make sure you clean the place well with an antibiotic soap and then apply a 10% disinfecting solution Betadine. Then use the ointment Gentamicin every 3 hours a day in the next 20 days. A high level of hygiene and a great precaution around the place because otherwise is obligatory, it is possible that you might get hurt or scratched and suppurations may appear. You must not remove the piercing during the healing process (until the hole heals) and, of course, you must not bathe in dirty water. As is the case with tattoos, the summer period is not recommended because there is a danger of allergies and infections.
For the mouth piercings only Betadine is used, but with a solution for the mouth and throat in a period of 20 days. In order for the piercing to heal faster, clean (rinse) it every 2 to 3 hours. |
| Genitals piercing |
This kind of piercing has grown more and more popular during the last years, but it takes greatest risk. It takes an extremely skilled and professional piercing artist so that it won’t come to some unwanted consequences! Again, proper care requires Gentamicin as the best and most gentle antibiotic applied every 2 to 3 hours in a period of 20 days. A highest level of hygiene is also obligatory. |
| Healing period |
Ears -> 6-8 weeks
Ear cartilages -> 4 months to 1 year.
Eyebrows -> 6-8 weeks

Lips -> 2-3 months
Tongue -> 4 weeks
Breast nipples -> 3-6 months

** The most appropriate age to have a piercing done is 16+, because the body is still growi ng and forming. For tattoos, the most appropriate age is 18+. |
| Jewellery |
The jewellery is extremely important especially for the first piercing. The preferable metal is titanium, as this one is the most convenient and does not contain toxic substances, which reduces the chances of allergies, suppurations and infections. Normally, it is essential that the piercing has the appropriate size for the body spot where it is going to be placed. Apart from titanium, other metals convenient for piercing are:
*surgical metal (or stainless steel)
14 or 18 carat gold
niobium
titanium
platinum
* for fastest and easiest healing the most advisable are Barbels. |
