Typically placed on the outer edge of the eyebrow and laid vertically, the vertical version is the look most people associate with when they think of an eyebrow piercing. It is best used with a curved barbell or a hoop, according to Spencer's. A variation of the classic eyebrow piercing, the horizontal eyebrow piercing sits on top of the eyebrow in a — you guessed it — horizontal position, with a curved barbell. The piercer may have the adjust the angle for optimal results, though, per Body Candy.
An even more exotic version of the eyebrow piercing is the anti-eyebrow piercing, sometimes called the butterfly or teardrop piercing. It is placed on the top of the cheekbone and beneath the eye to align with the eyebrow, and can be pierced with a surface bar, a barbell, or curved barbell, according to Fresh Trends. Although it was originally performed with a clamp, a more modern way to create the anti-eyebrow is with a small dermal punch, a tool that removes a circular section of the skin, per Urban Body Jewelry.
All eyebrow piercings take about three to four months to fully heal, but the ring can be switched out after around six weeks. The average price is $30 -$40, and is performed with a hollow piercing needle around 14 – 16 gauge, as noted by Byrdie. To prevent rejection or infection, opt for implant grade titanium or gold jewelry, wash with gentle soap and water, and avoid touching it for a long time.
