Nah, salt water doesn’t hurt at all. You can pick up a bottle of a special solution at whatever piercing/tattoo shop you are at.
NEVER alchohol or peroxide. Not only would it feel as if Helios’ chariot has descended upon your penis, they scar and are generally inept at handling such a wound. These two substances should never, ever be used on piercings. Ever.
Salt water (something I personally use – it’s a wide term that encompasses both homemade solution and the commercial variety – I’d stick with commercial, but I use homemade. I’m comfortable with handling piercings and the healing involved) is both a disinfectant and mild enough to use daily. It does not burn, hurt or sting, and does the job. Well.
Again, if you do plan on getting this done, I suggest talking to your piercing artist himself. He’ll give you tips on how to handle this.
Few words:
- Erections will be somewhat painful for about a week. Isn’t anything you can’t handle.
- You’ll have to sleep on your back or side.
- No masturbation. Obviously. That falls under “hanky panky.”
- The piercing artist should tell you this, but there is a slight chance of piercing rejection. If there is any severe pain or discomfort, go back there immediately to get it checked out. Seriously.
