The Importance of Downsizing
Most piercings are started with jewelry that is a little longer to accommodate for both cleaning and swelling. Once the swelling has subsided, please visit AT Tattoo and Piercing Studio for a follow up consultation. We typically recommend that you visit 4 to 6 weeks after your piercing. If your piercing is slept on or otherwise irritated, it can cause a permanent distortion in the angle of the piercing.
Downsizing your jewelry in a manner can prevent the distortion from happening.
Jewelry fees do apply when downsizing.
What to Avoid
Avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands. Contamination of the piercing site can result in infection.
Prevent makeup, health and beauty products, and other cosmetics from touching the piercing.
Do NOT Remove. rotate, twist, or turn jewelry.
Avoid swimming while healing a new piercing.
Tips & Tricks
