As long as it’s iodine free, it’s fine. And the large grains are alright too, as long as they dissolve in the water.

A non iodized sea salt (chunky) is best. Just dissolve a little bit in very warm water and soak it for 10 minutes a day. It really does help it heal faster; it dissolves gunk, kills bacteria, and helps promote rehealing.

Just go to the grocery store. A good-sized container of non-iodized sea salt only costs less than $4. You only need 1/4 teaspoon of it [dissolved in 8 ounces of water] per use for your piercing.
