We pierce with a brand new, completely sterilized needle, which is immediately disposed of in a medical sharps container after use on the piercee alone.

Camilla uses only 100% medically sterilized and appropriate implements, properly used and disposed of or sterilized in an autoclave prior to use on anyone else.

NB: Piercing guns are never used at Electric, and are considered dangerous for Body Piercing. Camilla only pierces with jewelry which is appropriately sized, safe in material, design, and construction, and which best promotes healing. Gold-plated, gold-filled, and sterling silver jewelry are never appropriate for any new or unhealed piercing.

For oral piercings, rinse mouth for 30-60 seconds with solution (Oral Antiseptic) after meals during the entire minimum initial healing time. Do not use more than 4-5 times daily and use it over intervals spaced throughout the entire day. Rinse mouth briefly (10-15 seconds) with the mild sea salt mixture, no more than twice a day. If you are cleaning too often, the top of your tongue will start to turn a white to yellowish color. Continue to clean your piercing, but reduce the number of times you are cleaning it per day. A new soft bristled toothbrush should be purchased, to help reduce the bacteria that is introduced into your mouth.

All other piercings need to be cleaned once or twice daily, every day, for the entire initial healing time. Most people clean morning and/or night, in the shower. Do not clean more often as this can irritate your piercing, and possibly delay your healing. For once-a-day cleaning, do it at the end of your day. Optimal frequency will depend on your skin sensitivity, activity level, and environmental factors.

Apply a small handful of cleaning solution (external antiseptic ointment) to the area with your clean hands. Cleanse the area and the jewellery, and gently rotate the jewellery back and forth a few times to work the solution to the inside. (You do not need to rotate your jewelry during the first several cleaning).

Allow the solution to cleanse there for a minute. You may bathe normally, just don't purposely work anything other than the cleanser onto the inside of the piercing.

Rinse the area thoroughly under running water, while rotating the jewellery back and forth to completely remove the cleanser from the inside and outside of the piercing.

Gently pat dry with disposable paper products such as gauze or tissues, as cloth towels can harbor bacteria.

Please try to be patient. Each body is unique, and healing times can vary considerably. If your piercing is tender or secreting you should continue the care regimen, even if it is past the stated average healing time range.
