There are different types of piercing nowadays and some of them have become fashion
statement. Almost any type of piercing has its time of great popularity and some
piercings have been the hit for more that 10 years already. But most people search
for unique piercing types that look unusual and are not so frequently met. Facial
piercings have become widespread lately but some of them are really unique and
stylish. We all know well that eyebrow piercing is loved by most people who appreciate
body piercing. There is one variation of eyebrow piercing that is new and looks
great- it is anti eyebrow piercing.
Anti eyebrow piercing is done below the lower orbit of the eye on the upper cheekbone.
It is surface piercing- it means this piercing doesn’t touch bones or muscles of
the face. Some people call this type of piercing tear drop. Tear drop piercing
enhances the eyes and the face and this is one of the most important advantages
of it.
If you or your friend is going to get anti eyebrow piercing, you should choose
the trusted and professional piercer as it has always been the most important factor.
In case of surface piercing it becomes even more important. Do some research and
choose trusted piercing shop with good reputation and make sure your piercer is
experienced in anti eyebrow piercing. Look at the instruments- they should all
be sterilized to avoid infection. Pay special attention to the needle- only sterile
piercing needle can be used for piercing. The piercer will clean the area of
the piercing with disinfectant and mark the point to be pierced. After the hole
is made, the piercer will clean away the blood and insert the body piercing
jewelry (it should be sterile too). A curved barbell or a surface barbell
is recommended starter jewelry for anti eyebrow piercing. The choice of material
depends on your skin. If it’s sensitive you’d better choose PTFE jewelry or titanium
jewelry. For people with no reaction on metals surgical stainless steel jewelry is
suggested. The pain of this piercing is minimal.
The healing period for anti eyebrow piercing is about 6-8
weeks. During this time
you should fallow all the recommendations given by the piercer. Use saline solution
to clean the piercing every day. You may buy trusted cleaning and healing piercing
solution or make it yourself from warm water and sea salt. Don’t touch or move
it during healing period except the times you clean it. If you experience any kind
of infection, pain or irritation, consult the piercer or your doctor as soon as
possible. Don’t’ go for self-curing.
Take care of your piercing and enjoy its beauty!
