When i decided to get a facial piercing, i obviously decided to go public with my perforated identity. Because however small the pierce, there's just no hiding a facial piercing. So it is for those who are ready to be visibly marked. And whose jobs
and/or 'parents' don't mind. But in my case parents really mind!! So i dint bother telling!! ;)
Before i took a stab at new facial decoration, just had some thoughts...
you cant just underestimate how much one piece of jewelry can change others' perceptions of you. Having facial piercings puts you on the frontlines of the public's reaction to body piercing. Whether it counts for or against you, your business is on the table. Just consider what doors you are opening or closing with that one little ring. Facial piercing can highlight your eyes, accent your lips, give you that scary profile you always wanted, or add just a touch of mystique.They are often easy to get, and relatively easy to heal. But, like any other body modification, you'll want to consider how the piercing will affect your lifestyle, both physically and socially, before you hop in the chair.
Eyebrow piercings first turned up in the 1980s, and have been growing in popularity ever since. They are one of the only purely aesthetic piercings, having no recognized symbolic meaning associated with them. They draw attention to one's eyes and upper face, either opening the gaze or intensifying it, depending on placement. Eyebrow piercings also tend to be very easy to sit through and quite simple to heal.
The procedure of an eyebrow piercin will vary from piercer o piercer. After cleaning and marking the area, many piercers will clamp the skin with forceps, pierce the skin, remove the for
ceps, and insert the jewelry on the back of the needle. Some piercers will use a freehand technique, meaning that they pinch your skin with their fingers, rather than using forceps to clamp it (mine was done in dat way). This may add a fraction of a second to the piercing time, but reduces the chance of bruising and swelling from the piercing. Since the clamps are often the most uncomfortable part of a piercing, freehand procedures are often less traumatic to sit through. However either of the procedures result in a perfect beautiful eyebrow piercing, as mine did!
Now jus relax and let it heal!
The finished look of your piercing will depend not only on your jewelry choice, but also on the placement of the piercing. Placed on the outer third of the eyebrow, the piercing will make the eyes appear wider set and more open. Piercing the inner third of the eyebrow, closer to the bridge of the nose, lends an intense seriousness to the expression. Usual placement is towards the outer end of the eyebrow, just past the arch, above the outer edge of the iris as you look straight ahead. This location is pleasing on almost all faces. The angle of the piercing can also be adjusted, from nearly vertical to a dramatic diagonal. Vertical placement draws attention to the piercing itself, rather than to the face. An approximately 45 degree angle ending at the outer edge of the iris tends to highlight the eyes, though the exact angle will depend on the individual face.
Overall, eyebrow piercings tend to be the most user-friendly facial piercing. They are not painful to get, are elementary to care for, and they compliment most facial features.
They leave you little to worry about, except maybe your 'loving' mother... they never understand this do they!! :'(
While some eyebrow piercings last several years, while some jus a week when ur loving mothers come to know about it!
LOL hope i can convince her! But the piercing was a quenching experience!
