Piercing Procedure

Ready to get an eyebrow piercing? Use our store locator to find your local Blue Banana Studio. There’s no need to book an appointment; you can simply go to the store of your choice and be pierced on the day.

Make sure to check the eyebrow piercing age restriction before coming to store. It can help to avoid any undue disappointment. In a Blue Banana studio, the eyebrow piercing age restriction is 16 (ID may be required) or 14 with parental consent from a parent or guardian who is present.

Once you’re all booked in, you will have some forms to fill out. A member of Blue Banana staff will go through the steps and can help you pick out jewellery. Then you can meet the piercer! They too will give you a quick consultation and briefing before discussing the eyebrow piercing location.

Eyebrow piercings are usually pierced with a curved barbell and can be changed later to a ring or BCR. Your piercer will either use clamps, forceps, or their fingers to pinch the skin to keep it taught while they pass a needle through the piercing site. They will then insert the jewellery. You will have the chance to check you are happy with the location before the piercer starts the procedure.

Aftercare Advice

An eyebrow piercing can take 6-8 weeks to fully heal. The healing time varies from person to person and will need top aftercare to ensure successful healing.

During the healing process, it is important to avoid knocking the piercing or putting pressure on the area as this will slow down healing and can even cause unnecessary problems. During the healing process, avoid plucking or shaving your eyebrows as this can irritate the piercing. Avoid applying any types of cosmetics to your piercing, including moisturiser.

When cleaning the outside of your eyebrow piercing, use salt water solution or Tea Tree Oil and bathe it using cotton wool. If you would like further information, make sure to read our full Piercing Aftercare Guides to learn about side effects to look out for.

Choosing Piercing Jewellery

There’s plenty of options when it comes to eyebrow piercing jewellery from Blue Banana. Some popular styles include:

Eyebrow Piercing Bar
Eyebrow Piercing Jewellery

There are a range of colours and designs to choose from in our eyebrow piercing jewellery range. When choosing your piercing jewellery there are a few things you should consider:

Jewellery Size – Make sure to find out from your piercer the size your eyebrow piercing jewellery should be.
Jewellery Material – piercing materials differ not only through their look but also how they could react to your skin. If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation, one of the many Titanium jewellery options is recommended. This material comes in a variety of colours and is durable too!

When searching for a piece of jewellery make sure you know your measurements. We display the piercing jewellery measurements as Gauge first (displayed in millimetres) then Diameter/Length, e.g. 1.2mm x 8mm.

Gauge – this is the thickness of the jewellery itself.
Diameter – the width across the widest point of the jewellery for hoops and rings.
Length – the length of the piercing bar, usually not including the ball.

Make sure to check out the tips from our piercing guides for information about changing and removing piercing jewellery.
