Eyebrow Rings | Eyebrow Piercing

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Eyebrow rings can really look cool on the right person. They can be a form of personal expression or a way to tell others you’re not afraid to be different. Those who get their eyebrows pierced are mostly young people like teenagers or those in their twenties who are brave enough to try different things.

Recently one of my friends told me she wanted to get an eyebrow ring and asked me if I would want one too, and we could have our eyebrows pierced together. Well, that got me thinking. I’m in the right age group (I’m in my early 20’s) and I like body piercings and jewelry in general. I’m not afraid to be different, In fact I think it’s cool. Ok, let’s take a little inventory here…

I wear a nose ring, I have plenty of earrings, I wear a ring on almost every one of my fingers, I have a belly button ring, I wear a couple of toe rings, and I also have a ring on my… uhm… wait, I don’t think I can say it here without getting in trouble with the editors since this is a G rated site hahaha! But I think I can tell you that those other rings aren’t visible when I’m fully clothed, and live it at that! :P So do I want eyebrow rings to add to my collection of rings?

I tell you, it wasn’t easy to decide. I told my friend I needed to think about it. Would I look cool wearing an eyebrow ring? I stood in front of the mirror and pictured myself with eyebrow rings. Hmmm… you know what? I didn’t think it was really me. Surprised that this wild girl doesn’t think eyebrow rings look good on her?

Well, you just have to be honest with yourself. You need to determine what looks good on you regardless of how comfortable you feel wearing them, and eyebrow rings are just not for me. My friend was a little disappointed when I told her that but she understood. However, she still wanted an eyebrow ring. She asked me if we could numb her eyebrow with ice and have me pierce it for her. She said one of her friends did it that way.

I was like, “what?! no way! That’s frickin’ nuts!” First of all, I’m too squeamish to do it. Can you imagine putting something through human skin and flesh? Ugh! That’s too gross and scary. Second of all, doing your own piercings increases the risks of getting an infection. So I told her the best thing to do would be to have her eyebrows pierced at a tattoo and piercing parlor. In fact, I have a favorite place where I got all my body piercings and tattoos done, and I would be happy to take her there.

She agreed, so we went to my favorite tattoo and piercing parlor together. They happened to have some cool looking eyebrow rings on sale. She got a pair for pretty cheap, but those eyebrow rings are of great quality, so she was really lucky. She thanked me and we high-fived each other.

One word of advice, if you’re looking for eyebrow rings (or anything that requires piercing for that matter) don’t just go for the cheap stuff. Cheap eyebrow rings that are of low quality can get you infected and that’s no fun. Besides, you would look really ugly with swollen eyebrows :P And I discourage you from piercing your own eyebrows or your friends’ even if you’re not squeamish like me. Again, to reduce the risks of infection.

When choosing an eyebrow ring you need to decide on those that will complement your facial features. Size is important too. You surely don’t want to get an eyebrow ring that’s so big that it overwhelms your face. It’s a good idea to take your time since you’re gonna be spending some money on them, not to mention getting a little pain, so you wanna choose something that you can be proud wearing, and not regret it later. Have fun with your eyebrow rings!
