Bindi

The Bindi piercing or Third Eye was often done in India with the insertion of a ruby or jewel into the skin of the forehead for religious reasons.

In the late 1990s, Bindi piercings were not common, but we did do some with surface bars. Being hard to heal as an actual piercing, these did not take off as a popular facial piercing in Melbourne.

However, when dermal anchors came on the scene, the Bindi piercing became more popular as a dermal implant which heals much more easily.
