While you have been pierced under the most sterile conditions with
autoclaved equipment, the aftercare of a piercing is vital to its' success
and is entirely up to you;It is normal for all new piercings to secrete dead

it before rotating the ring. Some areas of the body will secrete more
lymph and dead blood cells and are best removed in the shower, where
the stream of water can gently remove them. a mild salt water
solution in a ratio of 8 oz. water to 1/2 tsp. of salt. For most piercings,
this can be prepared in a glass and then held up to the area, swishing
the water around the immersed piercing. It is important to be sure the
salt water gets inside the new piercing and rotating the ring assures it
will happen. This mild saline solution can be utilized for as long as you
have the piercing, and is useful anytime you may have a slight flair up
or any tenderness in the area during the total healing process. the saline
