Piercing and Care

How should I clean and care for my jewelry?

Before inserting, please use an alcohol pad to throughly wipe down the jewelry top and post.

If alcohol wipe is not available wash your jewelry top and post with anti-bacterial soap and warm water, then dry with a soft clean cloth, making sure not to leave any residue.

For additional information please view our aftercare page.

What should I do if I have a reaction to the jewelry?

Before removing jewelry please reach out to us at info@livebytheswordtattoo.com and let us connect you with one of our qualified piercers to asses your situation. In many cases what appears to be an allergy is actually mild irritation from the insertion and in most cases will subside in a day or two.

If irritation continues, carefully remove the jewelry and consult your nearest healthcare provider.
