All our Body Piercings are done with 316L Implant Grade Surgical Steel.  All Body Piercings have different aftercare instructions.  Every studio has different care instructions.  I have provided Body Piercing care instructions here on this page.  These care instructions we use on our customers and ourselves.  These care instructions here if followed correctly, will heal you piercings correctly.
