Healing

At The Piercery, we see healing as a slow-and-steady kind of thing. It’s a marathon not a sprint!

Your piercing is on the right track when there’s no more redness, swelling, flaking, soreness, or gunk. It should feel better as time goes on, not irritated or stuck. Be patient, trust the process, and let your body do its thing!

Shop Aftercare

Every body’s
different

so healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation.

It all depends on your piercing, your stress, your sleep, and how well you stick to aftercare.
But one golden rule? Hands off. Always. You can only touch when you’re cleaning!
