Eyebrow piercings aka vertical eyebrow piercings are one of those things that seem to slip seamlessly in and out of style. It’s a strangely timeless piercing. Popular among both men and women, the eyebrow piercing is truly a unisex fashion statement. It can be placed anywhere along the eyebrow, but it’s typically located just past the arch of the eyebrow. We pierce eyebrows with a barbell, if you want a ring, the barbell can be changed to a BCR (ball closure ring) once the piercing has healed.

 

Horizontal Eyebrow Piercing

Horizontal eyebrow piercings are similar to vertical. The key difference, of course, is that they are pierced horizontally. Otherwise, the placement options are the same. Once again, the most common location is towards the outside corner of the eye. The horizontal eyebrow is pierced with a curved barbell.
