Eyebrow

The eyebrow piercing has been done for many years.  The biggest question is “Will it paralyze my face?”

This was started because of the industry having limited medical knowledge back in the 80’s was trying to stop people doing their own really bad piercings and used the fact that there are nerves in that area to stop people doing their own.  And it is never safe to do your own piercing for many reasons it is unlikely that you would hit this nerve.  The motor nerve in this area is actually a deep nerve and it would have to be a very deep piercing to cause it damage.  Alternatively, a major untreated infection could also cause it damage.

A professional piercer would never hit this nerve and providing they maintain an A Septic technique and you follow strict aftercare instructions this is a fun and versatile piercing.

Normally placed in a thin amount of skin on the outer edge of the eyebrow a poorly placed piercing can reject quickly.  Another reason you should go to a professional who has had experience in placing these.

We normally place eyebrow piercings on a slight angle which distributes the pressure from the jewellery across the piercing instead of it being all on the top hole.   This helps to prevent rejection.  when done completely vertical, all of the pressure is on the top of the piercing.  This pressure causes the skin at the top to stretch and tear and then your piercing rejects.  When done on a slight angle it can stay in place for 30+ years.
