never known anybody to use it...
what kinda piercing you looking to heal?

I'd just stick to saline solutions and I use zinc cream a lot aswell.

Stick to Saline, aloe vera isn't in any way cleansing, nor can you use it on anything open! I'm pretty sure it would sting more than saline anyways!

Saline is tried and trusted

Aloe vera will sting like a bitch. As mentioned, you can't go wrong with saline solution.
