Eyebrow piercings

    hey all,
    im planning to have my eyebrow done in the summer when school finishes so i will be able to take it in and out during the nxt year of school.

    thing is i have a weekend job in a supermarket which ill be working in the summer and i dont think they let them. i have to ask.

    i was wondering would it be possible to take it in and out when needed for work or will it lead to damage?

    thanks,
    xxboylarzxx

    I left mine in for two months before I started changing it, but then it grew out in September(got it done in January), I'd advise to leave it in for at least 6 weeks before yo go fiddling with it. But who am I to give advice.:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭xxboylarzxx


    perfect thanks.:)
    can you get the clear bars in straight away?or do i have to go metal for 2 months?



    i might just get the normal metal one done. not much the manager can do if its done :p

    Meh I waited only 2weeks for my lip before l changed to to a clear bar and It healed grand D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Please don't be advocating/recommending bad practice. You really should wait 6-8 weeks before changing jewellery to give the piercing time to heal.

    If the piercer is willing to pierce you with the jewellery that's one thing, but please do not go against the aftercare guidelines.

    You could also be asked to be pierced with PTFE which is safe and clear and for work take the balls off.... Only some pierce with PTFE though but AFAIK snakebite will do it.

    what is your obsession with PTFE


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭hitlersson666


    Nothing but I use it with everything for school :D I would say Bioplast but I would most likely be eaten by everyone here unlike on bodyjewellery forum where at least there open to things.... :(

    T&P here are very pc IMO

    If I was to be 100 % honest I would recomment waiting a few weeks and changing it then but then I eat freaked at over it :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    Cant remember how long I waited with my eyebrow. Definitely wasnt as long as I was supposed to but thats my eyebrow so obviously I cant tell people not to wait as that would be wrong. You already waited years to get it done. A few more weeks wont kill ya.

    the supervalu near my house has people covered in fecking holes and tattoo's working in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭xxboylarzxx


    its looking better for me now then:) haha

    one more thing im 17 will there be any issues with getting it done on the day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Here is my advice to you; I would get the eyebrow pierced and get a standard piece of silver coloured jewelery and get a plastic balls put on to the piece of jewelery. The balls are not cheap. I think they are about €10 for two. Also get it done in a respectable studio like Wildcat in Stephens green shopping centre, Snakebite in middle abbey street or Bodyshock in temple bar [the street to the left of the central bank].


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭xxboylarzxx


    my mate wants to go to wildcat cause he knows people who reccomended it he is gettin a labret or somthing.thanks fot the advice.

    perfect!can these plastic balls be removed and for example screw on metal ball when im not working?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    perfect!can these plastic balls be removed and for example screw on metal ball when im not working?

    Yes they can. Ask the piercer can you buy the balls separately. For wildcat it wouldn't do any harm bringing an Id because they could ask for Id.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭xxboylarzxx


    thanks a lot i wouldnt mind paying a good bit extra for the balls as long as it doesnt mean taking the bar out:)

    im 17 do i have to get concent? by any chance?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭hitlersson666

    For wildcat all you need is id :)

    Also balls are pretty cheap like as in 1-2 euro :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    No, 17 is the age to get it done in Wildcat without consent but bringing Id would do no harm because you will definitely be able to get it done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Also balls are pretty cheap like as in 1-2 euro :D

    Clear ones are not I nearly had to pay €10 for the things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭xxboylarzxx


    great thanks for all the help:)

    Automatically deducing someone's sexuality from a piercing? Keep your rubbish to yourself. First and last warning as you've been quite offensive already


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭hitlersson666


    If you look online the balls can come cheap (that sounds wrong now :o)

    And piercing's say nothing about your sexuality :o

    I agree with Raze. Insulting a mod? How stupid can you get?!

    Back on topic, yea, the plastic or PTFE balls can be fairly cheap. I think I bought a CBR for less than a fiver inc. postage. And they can be threaded onto metal bars. OP, I say go for it in the summer, once you get your hols. Most places are OK with piercings once they're not too extreme, and cant be covered up with a bit of plaster.

    Yes. But not by anybody I would trust with a hole punch and a piece of paper let alone a needle and the human body.
    There is a reason why reputable studios, both tattoo and piercing impose their own age limits. If you are immature enough to disregard their rules then you aren't mature enough to follow the strict after care that having a body mod involves. If you really want it done then sit and have a mature discussion with your parents and get their backing, it will be worth it in the end.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 DonnyTheDon


    Most of the Dublin stiudos will pierce an eyebrow at 16 without parental consent.

    Snakebite won't, Wildcat won't, Bodyshock won't and I know I sure as hell won't, as I said no reputable studio will pierce without parental consent.

    I would strongly suguest you start checking your facts before posting what restrictions other companies put on their business. Do you really believe there's some moral high ground to be gained from sending a sixteen year old to backstreet johnny with all the obvious problems that entails.

    Couldn't be sure how many of these so called reputable (who decides who is and isn't) businesses would maintain such a stupid policy but it's good to see your highly regarded Snakebite is sensible in their response. Check their facebook page. I'm pretty sure any right minded piercer living and working in a country with absolutely no enforced (or otherwise) restrictions would follow the same policy.

    Hope noone's offended by ranting, been up all night shivering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 315 ✭✭Pierced Off


    I am a working piercer and studio owner. We are not trying to gain moral high ground by refusing to pierce/tattoo under a given age, we are, in fact, following rules. My Public Liability Insurance will not allow me to pierce under 16 nor anyone under 18 without a parents consent. As there are only two companies who provide this form of insurance the same rules apply to any other insured studio. If a person chooses to get pierced by a "backstreet johnny" then that is their choice. Even if we did agree to pierce at 16, then you would have 14 and 15 year olds who would want the same.
    As I said earlier, if someone is mature enough to get a piercing then surely they can have a mature conversation with a parent and explain why they wish to have it done. As for "any right minded piercer living and working in a country with absolutely no enforced (or otherwise) restrictions would follow the same policy." Like I said earlier I am a piercer, I consider myself right minded, but I do however, follow rules.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 DonnyTheDon


    Rules handed out to you by an insurance company that covers you for what exactly?

    Your position wasn't really in question. You were also speaking on behalf of the other shops you mentioned (omitting your own shop name but including three others just looks wierd to me). What are all their policies on this or do they all let some insurance company dictate. Snakebite was the only response I got maybe you'll have more luck with the other two you also speak for. What about all the rest of the shops or is that a complete list of reputable establishments.

    The spirit of rebellion and individuallity. So long as mammy's alright with it. Keep towing the line.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Can we keep the things on topic please. Also DonnyTheDon what is your issue? You seem to be very argumentative for no apparent reason.
