Eyebrow Piercing: A Guide for Girls

An eyebrow piercing is a type of surface piercing located anywhere along the eyebrow. It's a relatively popular piercing choice, especially amongst younger people. Here's what you need to know:

Placement & Types:

  • The most common placement is a vertical piercing through the outer edge of the eyebrow.
  • Other options include horizontal eyebrow piercings, anti-eyebrow piercings (located below the eye near the cheekbone), and multiple eyebrow piercings.
  • The piercer will mark the entry and exit points with a surgical pen before the procedure.

The Piercing Process:

  • The area will be cleaned and disinfected.
  • A sterile, hollow needle is used to create the piercing.
  • Jewelry is immediately inserted.
  • The procedure is relatively quick, but you will feel a sharp pinch.

Pain Level:

  • The pain level is generally considered to be low to moderate. It is often described as a quick, sharp pinch.

Jewelry:

  • Common jewelry types include curved barbells, captive bead rings, and sometimes straight barbells.
  • The initial jewelry is usually slightly longer to accommodate swelling.
  • After healing, you can downsize to a more snug fit.
  • Material choices include surgical steel, titanium, and bioplast, with titanium often being recommended for initial piercings due to its hypoallergenic properties.

Healing:

  • Eyebrow piercings typically take 6-8 weeks to heal completely, but it can vary.
  • Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and promote healing.

Aftercare:

  • Clean the piercing twice a day with a saline solution (either a sterile saline wound wash or a homemade solution).
  • Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands.
  • Avoid using harsh soaps, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide, as these can irritate the piercing.
  • Avoid wearing makeup or skincare products near the piercing during the healing period.
  • Avoid sleeping on the piercing.
  • Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water.
  • Be gentle when cleaning and drying the area.
  • Do not rotate or move the jewelry unnecessarily.

Risks & Complications:

  • Infection is a risk with any piercing. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, pain, pus, and fever. Seek medical attention if you suspect an infection.
  • Rejection is when the body pushes the piercing out. This is more common with surface piercings because they don't go through a thick layer of tissue.
  • Migration is when the piercing moves slightly from its original placement.
  • Scarring can occur if the piercing is not properly cared for or if it rejects.
  • Nerve damage is a rare but possible risk. Choose a reputable piercer to minimize this risk.

Choosing a Piercer:

  • Research piercers in your area and read reviews.
  • Make sure the piercer is licensed and experienced.
  • The studio should be clean and sterile.
  • The piercer should use single-use, disposable needles.
  • The piercer should be willing to answer your questions and address your concerns.

Considerations for Girls:

  • Makeup can irritate the piercing during healing. Be careful when applying and removing makeup near the area.
  • Consider the placement of the piercing in relation to your hairstyle.
  • Be aware that eyebrow piercings can be visible and may not be suitable for all professional or social settings.

Removal:

  • If you decide to remove the piercing, simply take out the jewelry.
  • The hole will usually close up on its own, but a small scar may remain.
