The reason, he hypothesizes, is the piercing’s versatility.
“Something hanging from your nose or anywhere in between.”
Lip
When it comes to lip piercings, the lip’s the limit.
There’s no difference in piercing process for either.
An eyebrow piercing, regardless of placement, should heal in six to eight weeks.
Bridge
Find the space between your eyes and give it a pinch.
Does it pull away from your face, even a little bit?
“A bridge heals pretty well,” says Szumski.
“In two to three months, people are good to go.
This piercing, Kelly explains, is “really a partnership between the piercer and the client.”
Much like anear stack, a high nostril piercing looks even better when it’s nestled among friends.
Tongue
Fun fact about tongue piercings: they’re relatively painless.
“But most people say the actual procedure feels like a pinch or less.”
Szumski points out that surface piercings can be challenging, as sometimes the skin just pushes them right out.
Your piercer should use a straightsurface barbell, and never a curved ring.
