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!
