Tattoo & Piercing Aftercare Spray

How to use for Tattoos:

Gently clean the tattoo with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free, mild soap, pat dry, then spay the area with the BioMist MD Tattoo & Piercing Aftercare 4-6 times daily during the first 1–2 weeks.

Aftercare Routine: Follow with a thin layer of a tattoo-specific moisturizer or ointment (e.g., Aquaphor) after the HOCl dries to lock in moisture. Avoid over-application to prevent clogging pores.

Precautions: Follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare instructions and consult them or a dermatologist if signs of infection (e.g., excessive redness, pus, fever) occur.

How to use for Piercings:

Application: Clean the piercing gently with sterile saline or mild soap and water, pat dry, then spay the area with the BioMist MD Tattoo & Piercing Aftercare 4-6 times daily during the healing period (e.g., 6–8 weeks for earlobes, longer for cartilage or body piercings).

Technique: Spray directly onto the piercing or use a clean cotton pad soaked in HOCl to wipe around the site. Avoid excessive touching or rotating jewelry unless advised by a professional piercer.

Aftercare Routine: Follow with a piercing-safe moisturizer if needed, and avoid irritants like makeup, hair products, or tight clothing near the piercing.

Precautions: Follow your piercer’s aftercare instructions and consult a professional or dermatologist if signs of infection (e.g., excessive redness, pus, fever) or prolonged healing occur.
