While working at Painful Pleasures (Tattoo and Piercing Supply / Distribution Company) I was tasked with developing a new package for their aftercare line, Recovery. Upon the completion of the package, our creative  team was given the opportunity to rebrand the entire line and create an online store.

People have been harnessing the healing powers of the Dead Sea for thousands of years. Almost devoid of pollution and sodium chloride, this remarkable body of water makes for mineral-rich solutions that have miraculous assuaging effects on the skin. Using this Recovery Aftercare Sea Salt from the Dead Sea, you can mix up to 60 sea salt soaks to care for and heal a variety of body piercings.

Recovery Aftercare Mouth Rinse is a vegan-friendly mouthwash used for cleaning and healing oral piercings. The rinse is enhanced with sea salt and infused with peppermint for a refreshing taste. Recovery Mouth Rinse is comprised of purified water, sea salt, a blending solvent, a light preservative, and refreshing peppermint oil. The sea salt comes from the mineral-rich Dead Sea — a truly magical ingredient, known for its soothing and healing effects on the skin. The design highlights a splash of water which breaks up the lines of the label, making it appear fluid.

Tea Tree Oil is an essential healing agent for new or existing piercings that are agitated or experiencing irritation. Tea Tree Oil works to dehydrate irritation bumps that are common side-effects of new body modifications. This design shows two tea tree leaves, highlighting the products natural contents.
