Piercing Aftercare
Proper aftercare is the key to safe and smooth healing. At Huzz Ink, we use medical-grade techniques and sterile BioFlex jewelry, and we recommend a simple, effective aftercare routine to prevent infection and speed up recovery.
BioFlex is soft, lightweight, and designed with a smooth, flat end to minimize pressure and discomfort while sleeping. It reduces the risk of irritation, allergic reactions, and uneven healing, making it ideal for baby and toddler ears.
We only pierce children older than 9 months, when the immune system is more developed. However, the ideal age is 4 years, when the ear lobe is fully formed — ensuring symmetry, precision, and long-term results.
Our piercings are performed by trained professionals in a medical environment using sterile, disposable tools. Parents are guided through the entire process, including proper aftercare for quick and scar-free healing.

General Piercing Aftercare Instructions
1. Clean twice a day
Use a sterile saline solution or our recommended piercing aftercare spray. Gently clean around the piercing with a cotton pad—don’t rotate or move the jewelry.
2. Hands off!
Avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands. This prevents bacteria from entering the site.
3. Avoid harsh products
No alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or ointments. These can irritate the skin and slow healing.
4. Keep hair, makeup, and products away
Keep the pierced area clean and free of hair, makeup, or skincare products.
5. Don’t remove jewelry
Keep the initial BioFlex jewelry in place until fully healed. Premature removal can cause the hole to close or get infected.
6. Be patient
Healing time varies:
-
Earlobes: 4–6 weeks
-
Cartilage: 8–12 weeks
-
Nose or body: 8–12+ weeks
