06Aftercare & FAQClean & picky

Aftercare

Heal like a cat

Clean and picky. These are general guidelines; your artist or piercer will give you specifics on the day.

01

New ink

Keep the wrap on as instructed. Wash gently with fragrance-free soap 2–3× a day, pat dry, and use a thin layer of unscented lotion. No picking, no soaking, and keep it out of the sun while it heals (usually 2–4 weeks).

02

New jewelry

Rinse with sterile saline once or twice a day and let it air dry. Don't twist or rotate the jewelry, sleep on it, or swap it early. Healing times vary a lot by placement, so ask Milo for yours.

FAQ
