PIERCING AFTERCARE
You’ve just received a new BURDLIFE piercing—now let’s make sure it heals the way it should. Here are the essential aftercare instructions to keep your piercing healthy and looking its best.
DAILY CARE
• Clean twice daily (morning & night), front and back, using saline spray only. No alcohol, peroxide, ointments, or other solutions.
• Allow to air dry after cleaning. Avoid Q-tips, towels, clothing, or anything that can snag on your jewelry.
• Do not twist or turn the jewelry.
• Keep the piercing away from prolonged moisture (wet hair, damp pillows, sweat, pools, oceans, etc.).
HEALING TIME
• Lobes: Keep original earrings in for 6 months before changing.
• Cartilage: Keep your flatback in for 1 year before changing.
• If your cartilage is healing well with no swelling, you may come in at 6–8 weeks for a shorter post swap ($25), Or purchase here.
• Always give your body extra time if you need it—everyone heals differently.
