Just use common sense and listen to what it says, if you have any iritation, infections or other adverse reaction then stop using that item for a few days to see if it heals up and that was the problem. Please, do not use organic body jewellery in fresh piercings as this can cause all sorts of problems and slow down the healing process.

Hand made from water buffalo horn these really are great for people who are sensitive to plastics and find steel/titanium items too heavy to wear.
