Ah I see thank you both. I've got a question about the sea salt cleaning method. Do you dip a qtip or Cotten ball in the solution or do you literally dip your ear lobes in it?

So I got ears pierced about 4-5 weeks ago out of the blue with the intention to gauge it. I had realized that it was ill advised that you should start out with a 20g or an 18g when you want to gauge, but it can still be done. Any thoughts on what to do, where to start, and what to start with?
