FAQ'S

Thank you for trusting STUDIO XXVI with your new piercing. I work really hard to provide the best jewelry and utilize the safest and up to date piercing techniques.

Healing a new piercing is your responsibility, and is just as important as all the hard work I do. This is a Teamwork situation. I want this to heal and look amazing as much as you do. 

Following the aftercare recommendations is the way to insure your piercing heals without complications. Often times new piercings will experience minor swelling, redness, and fluid discharge. This is all NORMAL in healing your piercing and should be expected for the first few weeks. Listen to your body, stay hydrated and well rested, this can all help with minimizing the swelling and redness around your new piercing.  It is important to keep your piercing clean and dry at all times. Never handle your  piercing with dirty hands, so no touching, twisting and turning, or removing your jewelry. No sleeping on your fresh piercing, this pressure is the most detrimental to healing. Avoid contact with creams, chemicals, ointments, or other potential irritants. Try not to use anything homemade on your new piercing. Just use fresh clean water and Hypochlorus acid spray or sterile saline wound wash. Any fresh piercing needs a longer post to accommodate the swelling stages. Downsizing your jewelry is another important step in the healing process of your piercing, this is usually recommended 4-8 weeks after your initial piercing, your piercer will use their best discretion when its appropriate to downsize.
