Angel bites lip piercing

Caring for your Angel Bites lip piercing

• Sterile saline solution : For the care of the piercing, a sterile saline solution is required, which you can buy from us or at the pharmacy in the form of sterile seawater for daily nasal hygiene for infants. Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or antiseptics to treat the piercing (only if necessary and for a limited time, according to the instructions).

• Treatment frequency : Treat the piercing 2-3 times a day with clean hands using a cotton swab, cotton pad or gauze.

• Scab Removal : Harder scabs of lymph and blood plasma form around a fresh piercing. Do not scratch them, but moisten them first and gently remove them when they soften.

• Jewelry Stability : Do not move the jewelry during treatment as this will interfere with healing. Never remove the jewelry for cleaning. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless they are washed or disinfected. Avoid touching the piercing with your hands, hair, underwear or clothing.

• Protection from damage : If you are not sure that the piercing is sufficiently protected from mechanical damage, cover it with a plaster. It is forbidden to visit the swimming pool, sauna and other public swimming pools, including natural ones, with an unhealed piercing.

• Physical activity : During healing, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that could cause you to sweat a lot or injure your fresh piercing. Sweat, along with the substances excreted and dirt that stick to it, can lead to infections and inflammation of the piercing. It is safe to exercise with a piercing, but be careful. After exercising, rinse the piercing with clean water and treat it with saline solution.

• Piercing Problems : If you have a problem with your piercing – it burns, hurts or pussies – contact the studio immediately. For acute cases, call, for less acute cases, write and attach a photo taken in good light so that the problem can be seen. Be very careful when taking a photo with the piercing.

• Immunity : Piercing is a mechanical damage to the skin, so good immunity plays a big role in the healing process. Take care of your immunity: get enough sleep, rest, good food and walks in the fresh air. Alcohol, drug consumption and smoking worsen immunity and consequently the healing process.

• Jewelry shortening : Some types of piercings require jewelry shortening after about 6-12 weeks. Sometimes it involves several shortenings. In our studio, you do not pay for the shortening service if you have a piercing from us. You only pay for the jewelry.

• Oral hygiene : If you have a piercing in your mouth, use an alcohol-free mouthwash and rinse your mouth for about 15 seconds after each meal. If this is not part of your daily dental hygiene routine, plain clean water (filtered, bottled or boiled) will do. Pay attention to oral hygiene, as it is important for speeding up healing.

• Drink and food : For the first 3-4 hours after the procedure, drink only water, cold tea or iced still drinks without sugar and alcohol. Rinse your mouth afterwards.

• Oral sex and kissing : Avoid oral sex and kissing during healing, especially for the first 14 days. After that, follow your feelings, it is best not to rush them to avoid trauma.

• Alcohol and smoking : We do not recommend drinking alcohol or smoking while your oral piercing is healing, as this can cause bleeding. If you are a smoker, you do not have to give up smoking, but try to limit it and rinse your mouth with clean water after smoking.
