You could go to a piercing studio and get some expensive special formula (and that probably would be the best, because it would have a little more than just salt in it), OR you can go to any grocery store and buy sea salt :) It comes in shakers and grinders like regular salt. Anyone who cares about cooking uses sea salt rather than regular salt.

Should you use salt water on a piercing?
Sea salt rinses are the cleanser of choice for all body piercings in my opinion. A lot of piercers will sell a spray called H2Ocean, which is basically salt water in a spray can. I just take a Q-tip and dunk it into a measuring cup with a pinch of sea salt in it, the rule of thumb is one pinch of sea salt (SEA SALT, not iodized table salt, know the difference!) for one cup of warm water. You do NOT need a stronger salt mix, this could potentially irritate the skin. The salt will draw out moisture, lymph, and promote your body's natural healing defenses to take over. Just take a Q-tip with your salt mix and clean it two or three times a day and be sure to wear clean loose fitting clothing until it's healed!
