Sorry but we do NOT agree with using salt water for any piercing.  It dries out the tissues and will develop into bigger problems if you continue to use it.

Aftercare is to kickstart the body to do the healing, the more you do, the longer it will take for the healing to take place.

Please look at our aftercare section of this forum for our way.

We have a section in the forum called Blackstar Aftercare.  Please go there and get the aftercare for the tragus (cartilage piercing).

Follow it from the today, not from when you got the piercing because we do not want you to overclean and irritate your piercing.
