Do not let the piercing come in contact with another persons bodily fluids.
Never use Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide or hand soap because they may damage healthy cells and cause scar tissue. Petroleum jelly is not recommended for aftercare, as it can collect and promote the growth of bacteria.

Reduce the intake of alcohol, drugs, caffeine and aspirin during the initial period.
Avoid smoking, chewing tobacco and spicy foods for oral piercings.
Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for a few weeks. Definitely avoid tanning oils, lotions and sand.
