Just got a new piercing? Our Piercing Aftercare 101 guide covers everything you need to know to heal safely—cleaning tips, healing stages, and expert advice to prevent infection. Trust Platinum Tattoos for safe, lasting results.
Hey everyone, I’m Noah, owner and piercer at Platinum Tattoos off 410 & Evers in San Antonio, TX. If you’ve just got a piercing or are planning one soon, this blog is for you. Let’s walk through some smart, safe, and easy aftercare tips to help your piercing heal properly.
Before you touch your piercing—even to look at it—wash your hands. Clean hands help prevent infections,
irritation, and all the stuff you don’t want when healing.
Skip the antibacterial soap. It can cause more irritation than help.
At Platinum,we recommend using a sterile saline wound wash (available in 2.6 oz or 6.3 oz sizes).
The bigger bottle is just a couple bucks more and worth every penny.
💡 Pro Tip: We prefer the mist spray over stream. It’s gentler and covers the area evenly.
Wash your hands 🖐️
Spray saline on the front and back of your piercing
Wait a few seconds
Spray again—repeat 3–4 times
Use a clean Q-tip to gently remove debris
Do a final rinse spray for good measure
🔁 Repeat daily—once in the morning, once at night.
🌞 Direct Sunlight
🏖️ Beaches & Pools
🛁 Soaking Baths & Hot Tubs
Avoid submerging your piercing in water—yes, even baths. Showers are fine. If you accidentally swim, just clean thoroughly after with your saline.
Saline isn’t just for piercings. It’s also great for:
Minor cuts & scrapes
Bug bites
Reducing swelling or heat
Cooling down irritated skin
Just don’t replace medical care with it—talk to your doc for anything serious.
🛍️ Buy your aftercare from local studios—it helps them keep providing great service. We carry high-quality saline for every piercing type.
“Piercings heal from the outside in. Your job? Keep the outside clean. Let your body handle the rest.”
