Brescia Brazil Artistry
Torso Piercing
HEALING PERIOD
-Initial swelling should go down around 6-8 weeks.
-Your piercing should be fully healed between 1-2 years.
NOTES
-Make sure your bedding is washed and changed regularly. Wear clean, comfortable, breathable clothing that protects your piercing while you are sleeping.
-Wash your hands prior to touching the piercing; leave the piercing alone except when cleaning.
-FOR NAVEL: You can protect your piercing from excess irritation, physical trauma from activities like sports, or tight clothing with a hard, vented eye patch (sold at pharmacies). To avoid irritation from adhesive/medical tape, you can secure it over your piercing using tights/stockings or using a length of elastic/ace-type bandage around your body.
--FOR NIPPLES: The support of a tight cotton shirt or sports bra may provide protection and feel comfortable, especially for sleeping.
-Sleeping directly on a healing piercing can cause irritation, even causing shifts in the piercing’s angle.
-Showers tend to be safer than taking baths, as bathtubs can harbor bacteria. If you bathe in a tub, clean it well before each use and rinse off your piercing when you get out.
Please come in after 8 weeks to get your Nipple posts downsized for optimal healing.
NEVER twist or remove jewelry to clean, keep your Nipple jewelry in for the full 8 weeks, and your Navel jewelry in for 6 months .
Aftercare Procedure
When:
Morning, Night, and after workout for 6-8 weeks
Products Needed:
Sterile Saline Solution Wound Wash
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.
Spray piercing with sterile saline wound wash, or you can spray a Q-Tip to the point of a droplet coming off (this helps avoid fibers from the cotton wrapped around the jewelry or in the piercing track.) Remove any debris from jewelry.
DRY with clean, disposable products like gauze or paper towels-- do not use cloth towels, they can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry.
*Be sure to not skip this step, as it can leave salt deposits on your skin and cause irritation.*
AVOID
​
-Cleaning with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or any harsh products, as these can damage cells. Also avoid ointments as they prevent necessary air circulation.
​
-Bactine®, pierced ear care solutions, and other products containing Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK). These can be irritating and are not intended for long-term wound care.
​
-All oral contact, rough play, and contact with others’ bodily fluids on or near your piercing during healing.
-All beauty and personal care products on or around the piercing including cosmetics, lotions, and sprays, etc.
