Taking proper care of your new piercing is important to your health and the longevity of the piercing. If you were pierced at Apogee and follow our recommended aftercare, the risk of infection is next to nothing and you will be surprised at how easily you can heal. We advise following a mostly natural aftercare routine. If there are any questions, feel free to call or stop by and talk to your piercer.
MOVING YOUR JEWELRY

A piercing can be healed without ever moving the jewelry. It is a common misconception that jewelry must be turned to make sure that it does not get stuck in your body. The jewelry you are healing with is not an organic material. It can not become permanently stuck. Over time your piercing will loosen up and jewelry will move freely. Do not move your jewelry in a new piercing as this is the equivalent of picking a scab. It will lenghten your healing period, cause irritation, and increase the risk of introducing
bacteria to the piercing.
  There are no stupid questions regarding your health. If you think that you may need attention, once again: do not remove the jewelry. This can cause problems for you. Call us or stop by for us to take a look.
