How to Get an Eyebrow Piercing

Confirm that he or she works with sterilized equipment and disposable hollow needles and wears new latex gloves for each client, offers only piercing quality jewelry and is accessible post-treatment should you have any questions or concerns. Until your piercing heals, you'll want to keep your hair off your face, as it may get caught or tangled in the ring or stud. Take long deep breaths to keep calm as the steady hand of your piercer slips the needle in, followed by your new jewelry. It takes about six weeks to two months for an eyebrow piercing to heal, and in the meantime, it's very susceptible to infection. Go with the jewelry that your piercer offers, provided that it's titanium, stainless steel or niobium - the metals least likely to promote infection. Piercing can cause nerve damage if the jewelry is positioned improperly, and communicable diseases spread during the procedure if performed with unsterilized or used equipment.
