SABOTEUR After Care: how to promote a perfect healing process

For a flat piercing, our piercers pierce the flat part of the cartilage in the upper ear with a piercing needle. First of all, you determine where we should pierce your new body adornment. Furthermore, you can choose between a bigger flat piercing and multiple smaller ones that you can combine individually. The piercing process itself will only take a moment. But since the ear cartilage is very hard and requires more pressure, this step may cause pain.

Once the flat piercing is a part of your body, you should pay a lot of attention to it for the healing time of 3 to 12 months. In this manner, you can make sure that you will be able to enjoy your piercing for a lifetime. We make sure to provide to you the best aftercare products to promote your flat piercing’s healing. In addition, you should follow our care instructions.

• Wash your hands thoroughly and do not touch your piercing when cleaning or caring for your wound.
• Do not clean the piercing wound too often, since that would remove regenerative cells as well. We recommend that you clean your flat piercing twice a day.
• Thoroughly apply the After Care spray on the front and back of the piercing wound.
• During the first four weeks, refrain from doing sports, going to the swimming pool, sauna or tanning shops.
• Avoid taking long and hot showers. After each shower, carefully wipe the piercing dry with a cotton stick.
• Carefully style your hair and keep any hair or styling product away from your piercing.
• Sleep on a soft pillow or on a travel neck pillow to avoid putting pressure on the cartilage piercing.
• Please do not remove any discharge. It is normal to a certain extent.
• Be careful when slipping clothing over your head and try to not pull on your piercing.
