It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11th, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I.

Aftercare

Piercing Aftercare

Before cleaning, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and rinse.  Piercings require two (2) daily cleanings with a gentle soap, saline solution (store bought or mix of SEA SALT and water) or an alcohol-free mouthwash such as H2Ocean Mouthwashes.  Clean once in the morning and once in the evening. 


  

Its always healthy to take care of your piercings even after there fully healed. Keeping your body jewelry clean, especially if you wear organic plugs. If you want your organic body jewelry's looking new, and to get rid of the odor caused by bacteria, etc. Of course hygiene is very important, the aftercare products also can be very helpful.
