Yesterday, I finally got my belly pierced! my piercer told me that the best way to clean it is using sea/rock salt in about an inch of water with q-tips. are you meant to dry the area you have cleaned with a completely new q-tip? I think you should, but I just wanted to know if anyone knew for definite! :)

I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question O.O

I wouldn't, I would just make sure it's not dripping, just let it air dry. You can also use a shot glass full of salt water solution and leave that there for about 10 minutes. That I would take a clean paper towel around it, just so it's not dripping, but leave it damp.

I wouldn't either! I don't think you need to. Also, Sadie's shot glass tip is good too!
