Eyebrow piercing

Hi, I am thinking about getting my eyebrow pierced but wanted to know how painful it is and about how much I can expect to pay. I was also thinking about getting a nose piercing but I am not sure. I have wanted my eyebrow pierced for several years but am concerned about spending the money and then having it close up if I have to remove it for job hunting. Currently on permanent disability but loosing weight has significantly decreased my pain so I may go back to school and learn a new skill. I live in a pretty conservative area but want to express myself and quit worrying about what everybody else thinks. This coming from a 40 year old women who likes to experiment with hair color. I have had orange hair, hot pink hair, every shade of red, black, blond. My son thinks I am too old to have anything pierced or show my eccentric side. Cyndie

personally, i have never had my eyebrow pierced, it just wasn't "my thing." several of my friends have had theirs pierced and the pain seems to run the gamut from a sharp intake of air and a grimace to lip biting and tears. basically, its all dependant on your paint threshold. also, i have had one friend who's body rejected the piercing and basically, pushed it out (one of the dangers of a basic "skin" piercing). i would definately advise that if you get it done prior to job hunting, get it well in advanced so that it has enough time to heal. also remember that healing times differ by person. i heal quickly, so when i got my tongue pierced eons ago, it took all of a week and half before it was done healing. as for noses, those are fun. i had my septum and nostril pierced. in a word i can describe the pain level: OUCH! a tear managed to escape my eye when i got my septum done. my piercer said that it was a tear of joy. and explain to your son that you are reliving your expressive days, that yours just came a little later than most people.

hello, cydie, i just found this message board and i was wonderin if you decided to go ahead and get yer eyebrow done I have is done along with some other piercings done.. It doesnt hurt that bad.. hugz kas

Don't know if I'm too late and you've already done this, but I have my eyebrow and my nose pierced. If I had pierced my nose first, I NEVER would have pierced my eyebrow. My eyebrow didn't hurt a bit. The only thing that bothered me was when she tried to put the jewelry in. It got kind of "hung up" in there. My nose though, OMG PAIN PAIN PAIN. I'm going to have to take it out for surgery and it is going to close and I'm not going to care. I shouldn't have done it.
