Eyebrow Piercing
Eyebrow piercings sit vertically along the outer third of the brow, typically angled to follow the natural line extending from the corner of your eye. They work beautifully as a standalone piece or in multiples. We pierce with a 16 gauge curved barbell, and our SK Certified piercing specialists will map out the angle with you first.

What Is An Eyebrow Piercing?
An eyebrow piercing sits vertically along the outer third of the brow, angled to follow the natural line extending from the corner of your eye. It's a striking placement that works alone or stacked with a second piercing.
Because the angle affects both comfort and how the finished piercing sits, our SK Certified piercing specialists will mark it with you before going ahead. Read more on our piercing info page.
