Cleaning Routine: Spray NeilMed Wound Wash directly onto the piercing twice daily for the first 4 weeks. This keeps the area clean and aids in healing.
Handling the Jewelry: Do not twist or move the jewelry. Movement can irritate the piercing and disrupt healing.
Discharge Management: If discharge doesn’t rinse off with the spray, gently clean it with a cotton swab or gauze moistened with Wound Wash.
Moisturizing: Apply a small amount of fragrance-free, color-free lotion (Redemption) to the tattoo. Massage it gently into the skin 3-5 times a day or when the skin feels tight.
Clothing: Wear appropriate clothing to protect your tattoo, especially in work environments with grease, oil, or metal dust.
Healing Phase: Expect a layer of dry skin to form over the tattoo that matches its color. Let it flake off naturally; avoid peeling.
Post-Healing: After the dry skin has flaked off, the new skin underneath will adjust. Continue using a fragrance-free lotion.
Normal Reactions: Expect some bleeding, swelling, tenderness, or bruising initially. As healing progresses, there may be discoloration, itching, and a whitish-yellow fluid that crusts over the jewelry.
Careful Sleeping: Avoid sleeping on the piercing to prevent pressure and trauma.
Common Reactions: Redness, swelling, and tenderness are normal but should subside within a few days.
Healing Phase: You may notice a layer of dry skin over the tattoo that matches its color. Do not peel it off—let it flake off naturally.

The healing time can vary based on the type of work done and your body’s response. Generally, for tattoos, it can take about 2-4 weeks for the outer layer of skin to heal, while piercings often heal within 6-8 weeks. Remember, everyone’s body and healing processes are unique!
It’s best to avoid swimming, excessive sweating, and tight clothing during the healing process. Also, steer clear of abrasive products and direct sunlight on the area to prevent irritation.
To maintain the integrity and promote healing of your new tattoo or piercing, utilize our recommended products. For optimal recovery, we advise applying our piercing spray 2-3 times daily for a duration of 4-6 weeks. Please refrain from using ointments.
Once your tattoo is fully healed, applying sunscreen is a great way to protect it. Just make sure to wait until the healing period is over before introducing any new products!
