Thank you for choosing Tribal Voice,

We hope you enjoyed your visit and if you have any questions or queries, please contact us at: [email protected]

Please make sure to follow your After Care Procedure below:

ORAL; Labret, Lo-bret, Madonna, Medusa, Cheeks, Side Lip

Clean the outside of these piercings twice a day using the saline solution listed below. You must also use alcohol free anti-baterial mouthwash 4-6 times a day for non smokers and 6-8 time a day for smokers.

Tongue, Smiley, Web:

Use alcohol free anti-bacterial mouthwash 4-6 times a day for non-smokers and 6-8 times a day for smokers. Straight after your piercing having cold drinks or ice lollies etc. will help control swelling. Stay away from hot and spicy foods for 3-4 weeks. The Tongue is a muscle so bruising and pain can occur. If you are in lots of pain you can take pain-killers, but always read the label first. Drinking water rather than juice can help settle your piercing quicker as well as reducing your smoking.

Feeling lazy, worried you’ll make your solution wrong or travel? 

We stock a fantastic aftercare spray in store which is great for easy, hassle free cleaning or if you travel it’s perfect to fit in your bag. Neilmed aftercare is a soft fine mist of sterile saline which you can spray directly onto your piercing or use with a cotton bud.

You can also buy it here:

Aftercare Solution

HOW TO MAKE YOUR SALT SOLUTION:

Add ¼ teaspoon of rock or sea salt into ½ pint of boiled water. Make sure all the salt has dissolved and the water has cooled down enough not to burn. Using a clean cotton bud each time, dip your cotton bud into the water to clean around your piercing, front and back.

Healing Time (aprox) and jewellery size (aprox)

Lip – 6-8 Weeks, 1.2x12mm

Tongue – 6-8 Weeks, 1.6x22mm

Smiley – 6 – 8 Weeks, 1.2x10mm

Web – 6 – 8 weeks, 1.2x12mm

Cheeks – 2 – 3 months min. Cheeks can take a very long time to heal, they can swell at random times so please bare this in mind when thinking about your healing process. We tend to use 1.6x25mm for initial piercing. Cheeks can be  prone to scarring beyond the cute dimples seen on most people, they can leak and bleed too. 

All our jewellery is Titanium or PTFE as it is very hypoallergenic (you wont get a reaction from it). We use PTFE bars for our tongue piercing so it is kinder on your teeth whilst you’re not used to it (better to break a ball than a tooth!) 

I have lumps! whats going on?!
Lumps can be 1 of 2 things. The most common reason for lumps is irritation. Something may have gotten in the hole, it could be dust, makeup, hair products, ANYTHING. This foreign object will also be irritating it from the inside. So how can you make this horrible monster of a lump go away? You can use a hot compress.

A what I hear you say?!

1. Grab a clean flannel or kitchen roll (rolled up), a mug and water…. and something to boil the water with.
2. Boil water.
3. Put said boiling water into the mug (or a bowl, a bowl works just as well). Let it chill for a bit.
4. While it’s still hot but not skin meltingly boiling, dip your flannel/tissue/towel into the water and place over your new lumpy enemy and hold for a few minutes.
5. Do this for as long as you have the lump and you should see it go down or banished forever but you need to keep with it!
6. You can also use a green tea or camomile tea bag!

If it doesn’t go away there is a chance it may be a keloid but these are actually not as common as people think. If it is a keloid you can either see a doctor about it or just keep an eye on it. There isn’t a lot to make them go away. But do the hot compress first (and properly). After all miracles don’t tend to happen over-night!
