I completely trust everything he says. I’ve had two different piercings and the piercers gave me horrible instructions on cleaning the fresh piercing and I always had it become infected or irritated and both times I come to this guy to see what he says, and it always works

[@Urbanbodyjewelry]

THIS haha this is why we have Matt come on to give us the info. He has 20+ years experience and knows his stuff! Glad this was helpful :)

[@jenniferjulien9175]

You gave more information than the person who pierced me gave me. He told me to move it and i can change it in 4-6 weeks. So I'm glad I'm glad that I watched this video

[@brookewright9722]

Jennifer Julien yeah I was also told 6 weeks

[@josie8461]

He told me 6 months

Really? I was told 3 weeks, and she told me to use anti bacterial soap, which is not good. I decided to double check behind her. I’m glad that I did

[@kayleelake7874]

They told me 6 weeks I changed it after that and they told me to clean it with antibacterial soap and it got infected and healed over Saturday I’m going to get it repierced

[@ambermatos7335]

[@pascalealbert1960]

I did what he said used a glass & a bit of saline water, pressed a glass against my belly… twice a day for 15 mins (I sit and scroll on my phone to make time go past) I stop half way and move my belly piercing so the whole bar gets cleaned & wipe dry with a tissue it’s been a week .. I’ve had the best results .. no puss, no crisping, painless, no redness 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@nixon3791]

Hi I have a question, so is the sea salt soak the only thing you do? Or do you use soap or any sort of spray after?

[@valliemcc8352]

I feel so relieved hearing him say that flare ups are normal. Yeah, infections and irritation should be avoided as much as possible but there are gonna be ups and downs as it heals

[@Urbanbodyjewelry]

everyone's bodies are different so they will react differently, it's always best to be patient with your new piercings and to avoid touching or bumping them :)

[@BastilaElendir]

I got mine pierced last night, so I've had it in a little over 24 hours- No redness, I don't think it's swollen at all. I did what my piercer instructed, and I'm kinda surprised it's not red or swollen at all. I may jinx myself and it'll be red and swollen tomorrow, but so far so good. I watched this video before I went in and just now again afterward. Thank you so much for your informative video. It really soothed my pre-piercing nerves and helped me understand the care I'd need to start as soon as I got it.

@Theforr411 three years on I’d had to get it redone since I had to have a cesarean for my son and in the 12 days it was out the holes closed lol second piercing was just as easy and no problems.

Me too yall… every other piercing I’ve had, they always say do the sea salt soaks as normal, but I’ve never had a piercer tell me to wash it in antibacterial soap until now. So I’m kinda confused too. (4 retired piercings and still have 9).

[@mars2646]

Thank youuuu for the advice. :) Everyone that i have previously talked to about me getting it pierced have all told me not to get it, because it was “trashy” or “gross” but i want it so i am getting it pierced tomorrow because it is my body and i can do whatever I want. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@ShayPeee]

Thank you sir. One thing I know for sure is that salt water is the shit! I’ve used it to clean all 20 of my piercings! And never had an issue with any!

[@ruuchiruu553]

I think to have a good hygiene routine helps any wound heal. I didn't do the salt water. I used saline solution and bactine to an extent in which it wasn't excessive 1ce or 2ce but my area was kept clean. Loose clothing no jeans. Not touching my peircing with dirty hands. No moving or touching my piercing unless it was by my own body movement. No body soaps or any type of cleaning solution that wasn't the wound wash went near my fresh navel peircing for the first 2 weeks ( I did miracles with those showers, shower ninja) no washing my body with anything that might hook onto my piercing and tug on it. It took my body 6-7 months to finally heal my navel. I think every piercer is different every body is different. I went to mine because of his 12 years exp

[@voltaiccorsair9415]

Necroing this comment because information is important, saline solution is literally salt water. The salt to water ratio is all that determines if it can go in your body or be used to clean wounds.

I Recommend Antibacterial soap when you shower and the Sea Salt soak throughout the healing period. A very important tip Matt mentioned was Do Not touch it, play, rotate it because that damages the healing cell tissues internally, be careful when dressing. I got my top naval pierced and its healing fine.. simple follow directions

[@chattycatty3336]

How’s your piercing now? Also, ocean, lakes, rivers, creeks ANY natural body of water is NEVER a good idea on a fresh piercing because the likely hood that bacteria or other harmful organisms could infect your piercing is VERY high, please be safe!

Yo, I’ve literally been using Bactine spray! On each piercing! Antibacterial soap is what piercers have been telling me to use for the past 5 years. I just got pierced probably a week and a half ago. I don’t necessarily think it’s rejecting because there is no pain but it’s crusting and the area is a little hard like a sore. Idk

getting crusty is normal

The piercer who literally did my piercing yesterday, for my double helix, we were out and I had a little crusty that I couldn’t clean bc I wasn’t home (I was gonna clean it when I got home) she cleaned it with an alcohol wipe and like freaked when she saw a little crusty (even tho I’m pretty sure like you said it’s normal just needs to be cleaned off) 💀

[@stephaniiefloress7562]

Question.. I’ve been doing sea salt soaks and making sure I dry it off completely afterwards with a paper towel even the cracks between the jewelry and swelled skin. Is this too invasive? Should I let the piercing/ jewelry air dry instead?? I am scared that leaving even a little bit of salt water around the piercing could cause issues with the healings process.

[@readytoill]

its always best to let your piercing and tattoo air dry so the towel doesnt irritate it and the towel fibers don’t get into the piercing (~:

I got my belly button pierced 4 days ago, the piercer told me showering was OK, so I took my shower on the third day. It then started to feel itchy and redness occurred, today morning I started to feel a pain and it became more severe. I asked my piercer and she told me to take the ring/bar off, rinse the belly surface with hydrogen peroxide solution, and clean the ring with medical alcohol and then put it back. I did this in in the afternoon, but the pain didn't soothe or go away. It is still swollen and with pus coming out, and still hurts really bad. I thought I got a fever in the afternoon. How can I tell if I'm experiencing infection or metal allergy ?

somebody pls give me advice pls 😭: i got my belly button pierced recently everything went well im super happy not painful at all. HOWEVER the bar he gave me is small. i know that there is supposed to be a little bit of metal sticking out in the bottom part but its like right on my belly button and i accidentally hit it today and its swollen and hurts but im scared that its gonna swell more and theres no room for it to swell. i dont want to change it but if thats the best thing to do pls help me.

we're currently updating all these older info videos so the best advice for this rn would be to use a a wound wash and let the warm water of your shower do the work for the most part! :) good luck healing!

[@leannedicken3707]

They told me 9 to 12 months to fully heal, but they told me go back in 6 to 8 weeks to see if they need to down size. Im trying not to play with it or move it, but it kinda just moves by its self, when im doing my daily activities, like standing and sitting, also when i am cleaning it.

[@Axelalore]

Thanks for the information. I just got mine pierced 2 days ago and it didnt hurt, bleed, swollen or anything.

[@rebeccaarnold9713]

I was told to spray with antiseptic solution (diluted tea tree oil). I snagged it after some time and a scabby bump developed that keeps oozing. I was then advised to do sea salt water soaks, so i did that for 3 weeks and it didnt help. Soaking just kept making the scab come off. So i stopped and started just spraying with saline solution and its still not getting better. Ive been back to my piercing studio like 8 times now in the 5 months ive had it and they keep telling me different things each time. Theyve recommended i change to different size/types of jewellery twice so they did that. Theyve also told me to use first aid cream for 2 weeks which i did but that also didnt work. Dont know what to do now

[@Urbanbodyjewelry]

youch first aid cream?? well if it's not healing i'm sure you can guess what we might reccomend which would be to take out the piercing :/ if you tried to downsize or change out the jewelry already and keep it clean and that's not working... best bet would be to remove the piercing and allow your body time to heal. So sorry about your frustration though! 🫶

Ive been cleaning it with a q-tip as well and Ill accidentally hit it or move it around. (Which is probably bad for the table salt part?

From what i was told dont put your body in bodys of water in cluding tubs nd pool etc bc its fresh wait for 3/6months depending on your body to be safe for tub. For pool, lakes etc wait until belly is healed. Use sea salt soaks for belly really good to take away the itch only using a shot glass hope this helps

I now know to avoid q-tips so I got sterile gauze pads to clean off any puss.

Is it bad if it’s cold water and not warm/room temperature???? 😭 also, is doing the salt water soak 4 times a day (10 mins each time) over cleaning or is it good?

[@macaroniandcheese4457]

emma no it’s not good it cleans out the good bacteria which helps heal it

[@bronwenc9166]

Bruh use warm water and if you soak it ONLY do it 1-2 times a day!!!!!

If I don’t have sea salt can I use pink Himalayan salt?

My piercer told me definitely not to do salt water soaks but instead a saline eye wash solution what should I do?

[@rutrowraggy4044]

The first few days I cleaned it using the sss method. After 3 or so days I just left it alone and occasionally throw some saline or salt water on it. I dont clean the crust off because I think it's good for it.
