Q&A for How to Pierce Your Eyebrow

It depends on one's pain tolerance. Because an eyebrow piercing is a surface piercing and doesn't go through any cartilage, it doesn't hurt too much, at least in comparison to other types of piercings.

Yes, but a needle designed for piercings is ideal.

Usually a 14 gauge needle, as you put in 16 gauge jewelry. It also helps to use the 14 gauge hollow needle, as then you can slide the jewelry into the needle so it follows through to the other side.

Anything that is not curved (like a straight barbell) will not work with an eyebrow piercing. Also, captive bead rings are not great because they move around a lot, which makes it more difficult for your piercing to heal. Ideally, a long, curved barbell would be best to allow swelling without causing too much trauma from moving around.

It is not very safe to use a gun on your eyebrow. You should use a needle.

Not recommended. Using a curved barbell would work best until the piercing is fully healed.

Yes, it may hurt a bit more or less, depending on your sensitivities.

It's not a great idea to pierce your own eyebrow at home unless you are a trained professional.

Are you piercing it yourself? Since an eyebrow piercing is a surface piercing, you shouldn't hit any veins. Place it wherever you want on your eyebrow, but don't pierce it too deep or too shallowly.

You can change the jewelry by yourself, but make sure your hole is completely healed and it is wide enough to accept the new jewelry.
