🍒TATTOOS🍒

- The best after care advice will always come from your artist

- An original design is always the best design

- Tattoos hurt, but the pain is always worth it.

- Moisturize!! Anything unscented, aquaphor or bepanthen are great!

🍒PIERCINGS🍒

- When being pierced, your piercer should always be using a NEW NEEDLE fresh from the package.

-The best way to clean a piercing is with plain soap and water OR a premade saline solution. to explain, a piercing is a puncture in your skin. what would you clean a cut with? or what would a doctor recommend for stitches?

- Salt is not sterile and will dry out your skin, as well, rubbing alcohol, tea tree oil or peroxide are much too strong and are not recommended for piercings.

- Always check and insure on quality of your jewelry

- Never rotate or play with your piercings, especially with unwashed hands

- Never get pierced with a gun, it should always be a needle.

- DO NOT change your piercing before the recommended healing time. This is vital. Your piercing is not ready and will not react well! It's safest to wait longer than you think.

🍒STRECHING🍒

- Patience is key!

- Always wait a minimum of 3 months between sizes

- Do not skip sizes

- The safest, proven method of stretching is with the use of plain glass plugs (tapers and taping are very questionable, as the ingredients of tape are unsafe for skin and tapers may cause an uneven and forced stretch)

- Never force it!

- Massaging lobes daily will help with elasticity
