HYGIENE
♡ The ear studs that are pierced in the ear are made of surgical steel.
♡ The ear studs are sterilely packed and used shortly after opening the package, then discarded.
♡ The ear and the piercing gun are sanitized before the piercing is made.
♡ Staff will also sanitize their hands before touching the piercing gun and the ear.
AFTERCARE AND CARE
♡ Avoid fiddling with the earpiece.
♡ Look at the ear stud daily and preferably clean daily with chlorhexidine or salt water.
♡ Be patient with the healing time - some need more time than recommended time (6 to 12 weeks).
♡ A piercing can always grow together, even some time after the healing period. To avoid this, you can benefit from always wearing an earring and never have an empty piercing.
♡ Should any problems arise with your new piercing, contact the Pilgrim store that made it - here they will be able to advise and guide you.
♡ In addition, we also refer to the handed-out folder that you are offered when having a piercing made. Here you can also find advice and guidance for your new piercing.
