Have you ever considered getting an eyebrow piercing? If you have, we’re here to convince you they’re a great idea! At Essential Beauty we love eyebrow piercings and think they’re a fantastic accessory no matter your gender.
1. They are always on trend!
Eyebrow piercings are always in! In recent times with the likes of the pop-punk revival, and e-girl/e-boy revival on TikTok – eyebrow piercings are back. Celebrities like Jeon Jungkook (BTS) & in recent times Justin Bieber have been seen sporting them. Of course, whether piercings are trendy or not – if you like a piercing, you should get one! Ear and body piercings are a great way for self-expression and can make your look your own.
2. Cool Jewellery Styles
There are some great jewellery styles you can choose to put in your piercing! The two main jewellery types we recommend for eyebrow piercings are hinged rings and curved eyebrow bars. A guide for eyebrow piercing jewellery is to choose either 14, or 16-gauge jewellery. You can choose more simplistic styles, embellished jewellery, or something a little more edgy for a statement.
3. Easy Piercing Method
Piercings at Essential Beauty are always pierced with a sterilised, single-use, cannula piercing needle. Cannula piercings are razor-sharp and designed to make a precise piercing hole. Needle piercings will not remove any extra tissue or trauma in the process.
4. Fast Initial Healing Time
An eyebrow piercing has a relatively quick healing period, particularly for facial piercings. This piercings take about 2-3 months to initially heal. We recommend always waiting at least 8 weeks before considering changing jewellery over. If you are unsure if you are ready to change over your jewellery, visit us in salon and chat to a Beauty Therapist.
5. All Genders
Eyebrow piercings are the perfect way to express yourself and are the perfect addition to your collection. If you want to add an eyebrow piercing to your piercing collection, book online! Alternatively, visit us in-salon or give our team a call.
6. Low Pain
Eyebrow piercings are relatively low pain! As an the piercing punctures only a small amount of soft skin, the piercing is quite painless. Pain is of course relative to your own tolerance and threshold. No one knows your body quite like you do!
7. A Cool History
The eyebrow piercing has a fantastic history and traces back to the 1970s. This piercing was introduced as part of the punk movement and was popular as a fashion statement. Punk has had a recent resurgence in 2022 with the likes of pop-punk artists. Some of which include Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne and more.
