Piercings can take different lengths of time to properly heal, and stop being "crusty." This is due to piercing placement, jewellery size, and the individual getting pierced. Everyone heals things differently!

During the healing period we'd recommend leaving the piercing alone and following our aftercare advice. Here's the general standard time it takes to fully heal a piercing:

Earlobes - 12 weeks / 3 months

Cartilage/Nostrils/Navels - 6 months

Your first port of call should be the aftercare sheet we provide with each and every piercing appointment - it will never steer you wrong!

Should you have misplaced your aftercare sheet, then here's the gist:

Keep your piercing clean, keep it dry, and don't clog up the piercing channel. We recommend a sterile saline spray for proper piercing irrigation. Don't go using any chemicals or thick products, keep it simple.

We sell Neilmed sterile saline spray for £8 but any pharmacy will stock a sterile saline spray.

Also, don't play with your jewellery. Leave it alone to heal in peace!

On certain solid gold and titanium pieces, you are covered against defects and breakages forever. If you should encounter a problem with your jewellery (other than loss or theft), simply bring the piece back in to the studio, and we will organise a replacement for you. That way you can carry your sparkle with you forever!
