What important information on body piercing jewelry do I need to know?

Tips for the care and maintenance of body piercing jewelry.

You should only use stainless. Anything else won't work because most of the time it won't get infected, carry or harbor any diseases or problems. If people don't take them out and they leave the body jewelry in, they get infected. It has to be taken out and clean them or just leave them in and clean them really good in. It should be cleaned with alcohol because it is touching the skin, just alcohol. They need to be scrubbed off everyday with alcohol. If you miss a day or two and then you could get a disgusting bacteria. Some people have to go to surgery to remove severe bacteria.


Anytime you are piercing the body you need to clean the piercing everyday. All it takes is 3-5 minutes in the bathroom, the same amount of time it takes you to brush your teeth.
