Eyebrow Ring Piercing Procedure

The following set of photographs illustrates the main features of the procedure during an Eyebrow Piercing with a captive bead ring. Anesthetic was used to make the piercing itself painless, but it is optional.

Most piercers will use a clamp to align the entry and exit points. I use "freehand" piercing and rarely use clamps.

Whichever method you choose, make sure your piercer has plenty of experience.
