Eyebrow Piercing
Eyebrow Piercing
Eyebrow piercing is common in many cultures. The eyebrow piercing can be done anywhere on the eyebrow, however, you have to make sure that only a very skilled piercer should do the job if you are considering piercing near the inner corners (close to the nose) of the eyebrow, because three major nerves are located in this area near your eye.
Most of the piercings are pierced at around a 40-degree angle to minimize the risk of ripping the jewelry out. The popular jewelry for eyebrow piercing is either curved barbells or captive rings. However there is no rule that you need to follow for eyebrow piercing, you can pierce your one or both of your eyebrows. You can always get creative with eyebrow piercing.
Nose Piercing
Crazy Or Sexy?
Nose piercing is the most popular style of face piercing throughout the world. Nostril piercing is as old as mankind itself. Many cultures get their nose pierced for various reasons, some do it to assign themselves a warrior status, some for religious references, and some for child bearing help or coming of age rites.
One thing is for certain; people have been piercing their noses for longer than recorded history. If we talk about the United States of America, nostril piercing is relatively a new trend. The first group of people who got their noses pierced in America were the hippies returning from soujourns in India and the followers of “punk rock”. However these days having a nostril pierced is hardly considered as “rebellious” or “punk” and has become more ‘mainstream’.

Remember lip piercing is a unique body art, which could easily affect the way you speak, eat or drink. Lip piercing comes in different types for instance the lip ring that goes through the bottom of the lip. You can place it in the center or off-center as well. Horizontal lip piercing is another type of lip piercing, which is very rare. It’s a horizontal bar, usually through the red part of your lip. Labret is another type, which generally refers to a single piercing on the lower lip below the center. Labret can also be done in pairs as well.
Care To Be Taken After Piercing
After you are done with piercing you need to take proper care of it. The pierced area has to be clean. Extra care should be given because there is every chance of allergy. Make sure that the jewelry used on the pierced part is good quality and should ideally be made of white gold, surgical steel, titanium, studs, cuffs, posts, and sterling silver.
