We are NOT Medical Professionals - We ARE Piercing Professionals, as such we can not give you Medical Advice. We can however give you some recommendations on Aftercare from years of experience and experimentation.

Ithaca Piercing & Tattoo Recommends the L.I.T.H.A. (Leave It The Hell Alone) Aftercare Method paired with Sterile Saline Irrigation with NeilMed Piercing Aftercare.


CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BODY PIERCINGS

  • WASH your hands prior to cleaning your piercing.

  • SPRAY Sterile Saline Wound Wash on the piercing site

  • DRY with disposable paper towel, avoid using reusable Cloth Towels as they can harbor bacteria that we want to keep away from a fresh piercing.


    General Rules

  • DO NOT TOUCH IT!

  • DO NOT TWIST, SPIN, ROTATE OR REMOVE JEWELRY!

  • NO SUBMERSION! - Avoid Lakes, Baths, Hot Tubs, Oceans & Pools for 6-8 Weeks.

  • SALINE ONLY! - Stick to Sterile Saline Wound Wash to irrigate and clean your piercing. Absolutely DO NOT use; Alcohol, Iodine, Ointments, “Aspirin Paste”, Tea Tree Oil, etc. These have been proven to be ineffective and in most cases worse than just doing nothing, no matter what your friend tells you.
