Piercing Aftercare Instructions - Sin On Skin

Do not use any product marked “For External Use Only” including, but not limited to, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Bactine, Betadine or Hibiclens.
Use products that will not irritate the piercing and will facilitate fast healing,such as:

A mild, fragrance-free liquid soap. Which is preferably anti-microbial or germicidal.
Packaged sterile saline solution with no additives, or a non-iodized sea salt mixture:

Dissolve 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz) of warm distilled or bottled water.
A stronger mixture is not better; a saline solution that is too strong can irritate your piercing.

Sterile Sea Salt with Lysozyme spray. (Recommended.) Gently push or rotate the jewelry back and forth to remove residue/build-up.

Cleaning Instructions
WASH YOUR HANDS before cleaning your piercing! Use the cleaning solutions or sea salt spray for the (entire) healing time. Do this even if the piercing looks or feels healed sooner.
Do not remove the piercing jewelry when the site is crusty, it does more harm to the piercing than good.
Do not play with the new piercing, physical irritation is extremely harmful to the new piercing!
When clothing is in contact with the piercing, make sure it is clean, loose and breathable.

EAR CARTILAGE, TRAGUS, ANTI-TRAGUS, ROOK, HELIX, DAITH, INDUSTRIAL, CONCH, OUTER CONCH, ORBITAL: Usually heals in 6 months; use spray 3 times daily, as cartilage is  prone to developing cysts. Be sure to use Antibacterial Body Wash Soap on the pierced area in the shower only, throughly rinse off soap and remove residue. Clean ear after using styling products. Cartilage piercings are tender to sleep on, avoid sleeping on your new piercings as irritation will extend the healing time.

EYEBROW, ANTI-EYEBROW: Usually heals in 8-10 weeks; use spray 3 times daily, avoid using beauty products on the piercing.

TONGUE, TONGUE WEB: Usually heals in 4 weeks; use Mouth Rinse 2-4 times daily or after each meal. You will have swelling for about a week. Rest your tongue. Do not play with it. Eat small frequent meals (popsicles or crushed ice recommended). Advil, Aleve and Motrin will help swelling but may also cause bleeding so don’t over do it. Drinking alcohol in any quantity will significantly increase swelling during the first week or two. Drink plenty of ice water. Gently brush your teeth and tongue to remove build-up. NO SMOKING! No kissing (or any oral contact) until fully healed. Remember to downsize your barbell after 3-4 weeks.

Use  spray on the outside and mouth rinse after each meal. Remember intra-oral healing appears white. If a flatback stud was used, expect the disc to embed slightly into the lip over time, but do not allow new skin to form over the disc. If this begins, see your piercer immediately for a jewelry change. Downsize your jewelry after 3-4 weeks or more, please visit for check up.

NAVEL, SURFACE PIERCING: Usually heals in 6-9 months. Use spray 3 times daily. Expect some redness at the edges for up to 2 months.
