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.
INFECTION CONTROL

The risk of getting an infection is minimal with any new piercing as long as you think before you act. Most of the time, people believe they have an infection when they are actually experiencing extreme irritation due to neglect or improper aftercare techniques. Keep your hands off your piercing. Do not let others touch your piercing. Restrain from rough sexual behavior during the healing period. Avoid large bodies of water while healing. Wear clothing that is comfortable and will not irritate your piercing. Your new piercing is a gateway into your body. Practice good habits and you shouldn’t have any problems. If you think that you are having a problem, do not remove the jewelry. Come by and let us advise you on what course of action to take.
  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.
