For best results clean your new piercing twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night with your Punktured Aftercare Saline.

Do not touch, move, or play with the jewellery throughout the healing period to prevent infection or any bad bacteria getting in the open wound. There may be some discharge forming scabs, this is all completely normal so don’t pick or remove as this is your body’s natural protective layer for the healing process.

Avoid sleeping on your new piercing and change your pillowcase regularly.

We strongly suggest avoiding swimming in pools, rivers or the ocean until your piercing has healed. Keep an eye on the jewellery to ensure it’s not too tight on the pierced area as this can cause a build-up of fluids and create too much pressure on the healing area. Some swelling/blood is expected so don’t stress, however if you are unsure at all please visit us instore.

How to use Punktured's foaming aftercare

How to care for your new piercing

We recommend cleaning your new piercing twice a day. This promotes healthy healing and helps to remove debris that could potentially irritate or slow down healing.

Before cleaning your piercing, always ensure you have thoroughly washed your hands to reduce bacteria coming into contact with the piercing.

For standard & advanced procedures

All body piercings must be cleaned twice a day with Punktured Saline Aftercare Spray.

To do so, spray some saline onto a cotton tip and gently clean around the exit site of the piercing. Flip the cotton tip, spray saline again, and repeat on the opposite exit site of the piercing.

For genital piercings follow the above steps. Avoid all sexual activity for the initial stage of healing. Always consult with your piercer on what this would look like for you.

For dermal anchors follow the same cleaning process and ensure the piercing remains covered for the first 48-72 hours following the procedure.

Shop saline aftercare

For oral piercings

Directly spray our Punktured Oral Aftercare Spray onto the exit point of the piercing (inside the mouth). Repeat twice daily and after eating. Rinse with water and spit directly after.

It is also recommended to avoid using alcohol based mouthwash, smoking, vaping, eating spicy foods or raw dairy for the first 4 weeks of healing.

Punktured Foaming Cleanser

Can be used on all standard and advanced piercings (excluding oral piercings) when necessary in the shower. Pump once onto the piercing to remove unwanted bacteria and thoroughly rinse.

For best results, always use at the end of your shower.

Shop foaming aftercare

Pro tips

  • ONLY use saline, oral aftercare or foaming cleanser to clean piercings. This means no harsh chemicals, home-made remedies or soaps/disinfectants.
  • Do not touch, twist, or pick at your piercing as this will result in irritation and possible infection.
  • Do not dip your cotton tip into the saline bottle itself to avoid cross-contamination.
  • For any questions or concerns during your healing always consult one of our piercers!
