Thinking about a fresh, edgy look? How about adding an eyebrow piercing to your style? Let's dive into the ins and outs of this trendy body modification.
A Peek into the History
The eyebrow piercing, with its rebellious charm, burst onto the scene during the 1970s punk wave. Since those punk rock beginnings, it's won over everyone from rockstars like Amy Lee of Evanescence to the enchanting actress Keke Palmer.
Types of Eyebrow Piercings
You might be thinking, "An eyebrow piercing is just an eyebrow piercing, right?" Wrong! There's more than just one way to rock this look.
1. Vertical Eyebrow Piercing
This is your classic eyebrow piercing. It usually sports a curved barbell, appearing at the top and bottom of the brow.
Whether you want it closer to the bridge of your nose or more towards the end of your eyebrow—it's your call! Feeling bold? Why not have multiple piercings side by side?
2. Horizontal Eyebrow Piercing
Lying flat atop the eyebrow, this piercing typically uses a surface barbell. The exact spot and angle all depend on what works best with your anatomy and personal preference.
3. Anti-eyebrow Piercing
A bit of a misnomer, this piercing isn't on the eyebrow at all. Instead, it graces the area below the eye, following the cheekbone's curve. It's a more unique choice but comes with its own set of considerations due to its position.
What to Expect: Pain & Healing
Good news! Most find the pain level for eyebrow piercings on the milder side. Once you've got your piercing, expect around a 6-month healing journey.
Pro-tip: Avoid sleeping on that side to save your piercing from any undue irritation.
Getting It Done Right
Your unique anatomy plays a big part in the placement and even the possibility of getting this piercing. So, it's a smart move to have a chat with your piercer to find the perfect fit for you. And once you're all pierced up, remember to check out the cool collection of curved barbells and threaded ends over at Bodyartforms.com.
