What could possibly be unusual or really cool at an eyebrow piercing? If you’re thinking about the regular, vertical kind, then you might be so used with its image that you don’t consider it awesome anymore. Since the vertical eyebrow piercing is already considered common, you should find out more about its variations, which are indeed fun to try and appealing to wear. Among its variations are the anti-eyebrow piercing, the horizontal eyebrow piercing, the teardrop, crow’s feet and butterfly kiss. In addition, you might find the bridge piercing mentioned as being a sort of eyebrow piercing. That’s not necessarily wrong, but not really accurate either.
With so many types of eyebrow piercing styles to try, you should also be aware of the types of jewelry fitted for each. Jewelry for the eyebrow are the curved barbell, the straight barbell, the circular barbell, the captive bead ring, the shields and the twister. The jewel included in the price of an eyebrow piercing will not look spectacular, but that’s the one you’ll have to wear for 6 to 8 weeks until your flesh heals. Without further ado, let’s see some unusual and really cool ideas for your eyebrows!
