The Eyebrow Piercing Ref: Eyebrow1
An eyebrow piercing is a type of body piercing done through the eyebrow, usually vertically. Eyebrow piercings are relatively common facial piercings. They may be pierced anywhere along the eyebrow from directly above the eye to the edge of the eyebrow.

Eyebrow piercings usually take 6-8 weeks to heal, and are not easily irritated, the eyebrow is one of the safest facial piercings. Makeup or other beauty products that are applied to the face do not irritate the piercing or cause it to become infected. If the jewelry is removed even after the healing time the hole will close up rather quickly. The hole will be closed in the next 24-48 hours within removal.

Barbells, curved barbells and captive bead rings are all common jewelry types worn in eyebrow piercings. All of these jewelery types put varying degrees of pressure on the piercing, which can cause irritation or migration over time, especially in fresh piercings. Unlike many other piercings, surface bars or other appropriate jewelery is not always used in the initial piercing, and the use of more commonly available body piercing jewelry often creates an unnecessarily large risk of migration or rejection in eyebrow piercings.

to avoid troubles, we recommend you stick on with flexible materials, like the BioFlex, at least on the inside of the piercing, while using quality steel or titanium balls or jewelled balls on the outside.

Placement
The usual place to pierce the eyebrow is at a 35 degree angle from the outside corner of the eye, however, it may be pierced anywhere along the eyebrow from directly above the eye, to the edge of the eyebrow. The eyebrow should never be pierced further in than directly above the eye, because of the presence of the three major Supra-Orbital nerves, piercing one of these nerves can cause permanent damage.

The piercing is usually done at an angle to make the ring sit better, if the piercing is done vertically it sits directly outward and has a greater likelihood of migration.

The piercing will take approximately 6-8 weeks to heal,<Actinic:Variable Name = '1'/> some people may take longer though, the better you care for the piercing the quicker it will heal, and the fewer problems you will have. Eyebrow piercings generally close up quickly when ring is removed, this is for several reasons, the skin where the piercing is done is quite thin, and contains a lot of hair follicles and doesn't have much tissue underneath to give it strength. However there are some occasions where the closing up process can take quite a long time. It depends on many factors such as the length of time a person has had the piercing, how their body reacts to the removal and how quick a healer they are in general. The eyebrow is positioned toward the face, therefore it is not easily irritated unlike the nose piercing.

Eyebrow piercings are of contemporary origin, for example, like most surface piercings.They are relatively common piercings, being socially accepted in a way similar to navel and nose piercings. Anti-eyebrow piercings are relatively uncommon piercings.
