Step One Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
Step Two Spray entry and exit sites off your piercing, Do Not over
spray as this just wastes product.
Step Three Any crustie ‘scabs’ should Not be picked off as this can
damage the area and cause a higher infection risk, we recommend
rinsing over with a warm clean shower once a day, any crusties that
do not rinse away leave alone.
Step Four Any foreign matter or fluids should be wiped away with
a sterile non-woven gauze, this helps to minimise cross infection.
Step Five Self-care, a happy healthy piercing requires a happy
healthy body, both physically and emotionally, this best achieved
with general cleanliness and a good diet.
All of our aftercare is supplied by Neil med piercing after care. this a specially formulated
and designed to be used on piercings. it contains no additives or chemicals and is

Martin has done the impossible!...
I've been thinking about having a tongue
piercing for long years, and finally I had
enough courage to go for it. Unfortunately a
piercer in London said to me I can't have
tongue piercing because of my veins, I have
too many... I was so sad, but I decided to ask
for a second opinion. I went to the Darkside
and Martin said there is no problem with my
tongue! So finally I got tongue piercing!! :)
I'm very happy! :)
One week later there are no complications
with my tongue piercing. Everything is fine!
Today I went back to Martin and asked for a
surface piercing also! :) I love them!
This is how I'm spending my 13 days holiday
here, got pierced 2 times! :) My memories of
Melksham.
I'm 100% satisfied with the service! Martin is
a professional piercer! I can highly
recommend him!
Adrian - Melksham
This is a 10 Star experience
This has been the best experience I have
had. Always in consent contact with me
and the piercing was perfect and
painless. I cannot recommend Darkside
piercing enough. Even when I caught my
piercing and lost it. He was straight away
out to me no question and that is
something you don’t usually experience.
Thank you
Rebecca - Melksham
Martin is so professional and kind, he knows his stuff!
I was so scared about getting my piercing but he made
it (almost) enjoyable.
