A Latest Trend: Eyebrow Piercing
Eyebrow piercing is the latest fashion, especially popular among the youngsters. Eyebrow piercing is a style of body piercing where you get your eyebrows pierced, mostly vertically. Eyebrow piercing is not as common as the ear or nose piercing, which are conventional piercings. Eyebrow has thick tissue, which makes it perfect for piercing and after healing.
Men and women, both get their eyebrows pierced for the love of style. This is a purely aesthetic piercing. Eyebrow piercing gets the attention to upper face or eyes. If you take proper care of your pierced hole and do not let it be infected, it will not leave any mark when removed.
Placing of the piercing
You can select the location where you want the piercing done. Commonly it is done at a 35-degree angle from outside corner of the eyebrow. You can get it pierced from right above the eye to the edge of the eyebrow, anywhere on the eyebrow. If you get it pierced at outer third of the eyebrow, it will give the illusion of wider eyes. While if you get it pierced within the inner third of eye, near the bridge of nose, it will give your complexion a serious look. Eyebrow is pierced at such an angle to let the ring set better. Although piercing is done vertically but there is another option where it is done horizontally under the eyebrow to let the ring hang downward.
