How to care for a new Tongue Web piercing
To care for your new web piercing you will need to rinse your mouth after eating, drinking or smoking (this includes vaping), with one of the recommended Oral / Mouth Piercing Aftercare solutions. Continue this for at least the first 3 weeks.
Be careful when eating for the first few weeks of healing - consider eating only soft foods to avoid too much movement or pressure on the piercing.
When brushing your teeth, gently lift the jewellery out of the way to brush without knocking the piercing or jewellery.

You can generally change the jewellery in the piercing after 3 -4 weeks of healing. Full healing can take 2 -3 months

Do not touch, twist, or turn the jewellery in your piercing while it is healing. Your piercing may form scabs around the jewellery, this is a normal part of the healing process. Do NOT pick the scabs off, as they are there to protect your piercing. You may remove the scabs while cleaning, only with a cotton bud, and only if the scabs are ready to fall off easily. Do NOT be too rough and over -clean your new piercing.
Any touching or twisting of the jewellery will slow down the healing process, and increase your chance of an infection. Remember that a healing piercing is an open wound, and touching with your fingers can introduce harmful bacteria. If you must touch your piercing, then you must wash and dry your hands thoroughly first.
Throughout the healing process you may notice redness, swelling, tenderness and some excretion of fluids. These are all a normal part of the healing process.
If you are experiencing increased levels of irritation and, or redness please contact us via Phone, Facebook or lnstagram.
