There are several different types of piercing jewelry, including studs and barbells.
There are several different types of eyebrow piercings, including vertical, horizontal, and spiral. The most popular type of eyebrow piercing is probably the vertical type. Also, people are often creative and come up with their own unique designs. Eyebrow piercings typically take between one and two months to heal, regardless of the type that was done. Ensuring that an eyebrow piercing heals quickly usually means following all aftercare instructions perfectly, as improper care can lead to infections and longer healing times.
The most common type of eyebrow piercing is the vertical type.
The most common type of eyebrow piercing is probably the vertical type. This type is usually done at the outer corner of the brow, and the needle usually goes from the brow ridge to just below the brow edge. Once the piercing is done, barbell jewelry is usually placed in the hole. Dumbbells usually look like bars, which can be curved or straight, with small metal beads on each end that are screwed on to hold the bar in place.
Keeping your eyebrows neatly trimmed will make your eyebrow piercing look more attractive.
In addition to vertical eyebrow piercings, people occasionally get horizontal piercings as well. The horizontal type normally crosses the upper edge of the eyebrow. Instead of the needle passing through the brow at a vertical angle, it passes through the upper edge of the brow at a horizontal angle. Most people also wear barbell piercing jewelry like this. They are not as popular as the upright type, but may be the second most popular type.
Pus caused by a piercing can be treated with water and sea salt.
Another popular type of eyebrow piercing is the spiral. Spiral brow piercings usually consist of three or four holes in the brow, some of which are at the top of the brow and some at the bottom. Spiral shaped jewelry is commonly used for this type of piercing. The holes are placed in the brow specifically so that the spiral jewelry can be threaded through the brow at each hole. While three or four holes are more common for spiral piercings, some people choose to have more than that because jewelry often comes in different lengths.
Taking good care of any type of eyebrow piercing is often crucial to ensuring that it heals quickly. In most cases, it will heal completely within a few months. Although rare, there are some people who have skin that refuses to accept their piercings, and these people can have ongoing skin problems, which really pushes the brow jewelry away. If this happens, it’s a good idea to visit the piercer to see if there’s anything they can do to help prevent skin rejection.
