The healing time can vary from person to person depending on their health and whether or not they follow the aftercare instructions. The first 14 days are crucial in the healing process. During this period it is important not touch the piercing unless cleaning (once a day with an antiseptic wash that Totally Pierced provides), no oral contact, limited sexual activity, and to be careful not to knock the piercing.

During the first 3 to 6 months it is not unusual to experience some secretion from the piercing, as this is part of the healing process. We advise not to change the jewellery for the first 3 months and to make sure that only the highest quality body jewellery is used at all times.
