The only time you should be touching your piercing is in the shower, there is no need to touch or turn your piercing otherwise. To clean your piercing, take a normal shower then at the end of your shower, let the water hit directly on the piercing and rotate the jewelry back and forth through the piercing several times.

You don’t want to leave any soap that may have gotten in your piercing to remain there because it will fester and cause irritation. Never force soap into the piercing and NEVER use chemicals on your piercing no matter what. Your piercing is a puncture, not a scratch, Neosporin, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc. are not to be used on punctures!  Wait 3 months to change your initial jewelry. No swimming in pools for 1 month, no lakes, oceans, etc. for 3 months. You should wait 9 months before using any colorful titanium.
