Actress Bahareh Rahnama With An Eyebrow Piercing

What happens when you get your eyebrow pierced?

Only hire a trained professional for an eyebrow piercing. Your practitioner will wear sterile gloves and lightly pull or pinch your eyebrow tissue with forceps or fingertips. Then the practitioner will pierce the tissue with a single, sterile needle. You will feel a pinch and some pressure.  Piercing eyebrows is less painful than other parts of the body such as the nose, lips, or nipples. However, there are many eyebrow nerves, and the supraorbital nerve near the middle of the eyebrow makes piercings there more painful.
