Sea salt soaks a couple times a day works great. I used H2Ocean spray which was really easy. Antibacterial soap is also good to use to clean it. You can also use alcohol free mouthwash for the inside. Don't play with it a lot and don't change it on your own until it's fully healed which takes about a month or two. It is by far my favorite piercing and was so easy to heal. I can show you a pic if you IM me or something and I could show you one with my retainer I use for work and other events where I can't have it.How to take care of a lip pirecing?
When you go to get it done the piercer should give you a list, and tell you how to take care of it and for how long. But be sure to buy some kind of sterile sea salt solution such as H2Ocean it works great ( ask your piercer if they have any you could buy) it has lysozyme which helps it heal faster. And thats for the outside just use a Q-tip. Then for the inside swish about 8 oz of salt water 3 times a day. Don't use mouthwash for a few weeks because its kills the new forming skin cells. Don't drink anything through a straw for a few weeks or you will get dry socket. And avoid anything oral. (kissing, etc.)


Your piercing will ooze lymph its gross but its normal. Just be sure its not a greenish color, that could mean its infected.
well, its actually simple.


you just have to brush your teeth and use mouth wash after EVERY thing you eat or drink and keep from smoking if you do at least until it heals. and dont put neosporin on the outside to clean it just use hydrogen peroxide or H2O you can buy it at hot topic.


oh and keep from touching it is a VERY important thing! because if you fiddle with it or move it around nd just plain play with it, it wont heal correctly and it will bleed because your lip is trying to heal around it and youll be messing up the healing process! so be careful and make sure you wash your hands before cleaning it:]

The piercer will tell you how to take care of it and most give you an aftercare sheet as well. Basically all you need to do is clean it a few times a day with sea salt and water solution. Not normal table salt, SEA salt.
Wash your mouth with mouth wash frequently for a few weeks. Because the piercing is located around the mouth, there is little you can do to clean it. Just try to keep your mouth area as clean as possible.
Easy don't get one, but if u do the artist will tell u what to do to take care of it.
