Can you get your eyebrow pierced with a cbr or is it easier to let it heal with a different ring and switch it when it heals?
Yes, eyebrow piercings can be done with CBR’s initially. However, the CBR is going to stick up/out more, from the side of your head. Therefore it will get knocked/bumped/snagged more often and will typically take longer (and be harder) to heal than a curved barbell. Once the piercing is healed having a CBR in it won’t be as much of an issue, but it’s still more likely get snagged on stuff.

I actually didn’t find this to be true; I had a barbell in my eyebrow piercing initially, and its ends were constantly getting snagged on things. When I switched to a ring after the piercing healed, there was no more snagging.
In my experience, a ring in an eyebrow piercing might get bumped more often because of its size, but it definitely gets yanked and seriously snagged less because it’s much harder for a pillowcase or a shirt to get hung up on a round object.
wren on October 2nd, 2008 at 12:55 ami think that in high rejection rate piercings like rooks, navels, eyebrows, BCRs should almost never be used for initial jewelry.
i had a rook once and it rejected. the bcr just moved everytime i took a nap, went horseriding… just general day-to-day stuff and it’d move. It also got in the way of sleeping on that ear.
It makes people much more tempted to rotate the jewelry. *oooh. it’s a piece of metal going through my skin.*
it’s much more easier to “pick” the crusties off a BCR.
and i’d say that it’s more tempting to play around with it… I wouldn’t dare touch my re-pierced rook (curved barbell) now, because i’m just so scared the ball would fall off.
just my two cents.
Clara on October 5th, 2008 at 10:24 amWhen I had my eyebrow pierced the first time it was with a CBR, and I eventually took it out because it was always getting hit and bummped and I felt like it would never heal. I had it pierced a second time with a curved barbell and it pretty much healed with little event. I now wear a CBR in it with no trouble. Good luck
