Eyebrow Piercing at Home
Eyebrow piercings are one of the most common piercings done on the
face. They are piercings that are carried out anywhere along the
eyebrow, which is very near to the eyes. Because of the sensitivity of
the area, you need to really research things before you decide on having
this procedure done.
As much as possible, a professional piercing artist should carry out
the procedure to ensure safety, but if that isn’t an option to you, then
you can try doing an eyebrow piercing at home. Some things to remember
about doing this procedure at home are sanitization and proper
knowledge. Without the two, please do not try to do an eyebrow piercing
at home as it can be dangerous to do so.
Usually, circular barbells are used for an eyebrow piercing. They are
popular for the variety in their designs, sizes, and colors. If you
choose to do your eyebrow piercing at home, it is necessary for you to
have a piercing kit. Piercing kits are aplenty and you can buy them in
several shops online and offline. You need these kits so that it will be
easier for you to insert the jewelry into your eyebrow. Another thing
you have to buy is the jewelry itself. Circular barbells work best so
you can start out with these ones first.
 There are specific reasons why circular barbells are ideal for
eyebrow piercing. One reason is that their curved shapes make it easier
to insert them. They are also inexpensive and come in either titanium or
sterling silver. Once you have these materials, you can now start the
process of doing an eyebrow piercing at home. It shouldn’t take you more
than ten minutes to finish the entire process, but you need to put all
your focus on doing it right so you don’t mess up later on.
A piercing kit usually comes with an alcohol swab, a lubricated
needle, a clamp, antibacterial soap, and a q-tip. There are also those
that already have the jewelry included in the kit. If this is the case,
you can just use the jewelry that comes with it instead of buying a new
one.
Before the actual piercing, use the alcohol swap and wipe clean the
area which you want to pierce. Then, take the clamp and clamp this area.
Once you have the clamp in place, take a deep breath and start
 sliding
the needle through the clamp holes directly on to your skin until it
protrudes on the other side. With the needle still in the skin, take the
curved barbell and insert it through the hole using the needle’s path as
a guide. Once the jewelry is in place, slide the needle out and you’re
done.
But the process does not end there. You need to spread some
antibacterial on the newly pierced area to prevent infections. Now, all
you need is to heal completely and you’ll certainly enjoy your new
eyebrow piercing done at home. Remember to do the proper after care
procedures so you can reduce your recovery time. When you fully heal,
you can now try other kinds of eyebrow jewelry to create different looks
every day.
