Body Jewelery Help!

By Carlos Somaniego

Although all good suppliers keep handling to a minimum, it still is not sterile when it comes out of the packet, so all body jewelery, from any source, must be properly cleaned before use.

Body jewelery must be professionally and properly sterilized by autoclaving – your piercer will have an autoclave, it is for a new piercing, recently stretched piercing, or any piercing that’s not fully healed.

For that reason, usually people are using plain surgical steel, or sometimes autoclavable bio flex in new piercing. So make sure the jewelry used in their piercing has been autoclaved and before their piercing is completely healed, please don’t change this.

The need for autoclaving is reduced after the piercing is healed. Perhaps some people choose only ever use professional sterilized jewelry, but it’s their choice. Use more delicate, fancy body jewelery, so you’ll need to clean it without autoclaving.

Clean the body jewelery with rubbing alcohol or other alcohol based products is people choice; it’s especially popular in the US. Another popular form of cleaning is by using boiling water, but many kinds of body jewelery will be damaged by alcohol or boiling water. Alcohol and boiling water may also damage plastic body jewelery, logo bars or organic printed. Body jewelery with liquids and gems also can damage flashing or light up bars. The best way to clean body jewelery is using anti bacterial soap. It is easy and quick. Also it is far less likely to damage body jewelery. Don’t let your body jewelery to soak.
