Eyebrow Piercings
So you're thinking about getting an eyebrow ring. Here is all the information you need to know so you are well-informed and feel confident when you get your new piercing or want to change out your jewelry.
The best jewelry to use for an initial eyebrow piercing is a 16 gauge curved barbell made of high-grade titanium, 14k gold, or 18k gold. Never use jewelry smaller than recommended by your piercer since it will increase your risk of jewelry rejection and skin damage.
The length of your barbell will vary depending on how thick your eyebrow is; the standard length is 5/16", but 3/8" and 7/16" barbells are commonly used as well. It should be at least 1/8" wider than your actual piercing.
Placement: Your piercer will mark the location of the piercing so you can see if you are happy with the placement. It will be done at an angle from the corner of the eye so that it sits better on the face. Once you’ve agreed, it’s time to pierce.
Rejection: Since an eyebrow piercing is a surface piercing, it has a higher chance of migrating out of the body or being rejected.

Eyebrow Piercing Jewelry Styles
Curved Barbell
Curved barbells feature the largest variety of materials and designs and are the preferred jewelry type for an eyebrow piercing.
Straight Barbell
These should only be used if you have been pierced with a straight barbell or if you have a very flat brow. If neither applies to you, you could get away with wearing them for short periods of time in a HEALED piercing for special occasions. Otherwise, you are encouraged to stick to other types of barbells.
