If you’re looking to make a strong, stylish statement with your next piercing, bridge and eyebrow piercings are both standout choices. These facial piercings are bold, expressive, and surprisingly versatile when it comes to jewelry and styling. At Identity Body Piercing, our expert team is here to guide you through the process safely and professionally — whether you’re adding to your look or getting your first facial piercing.​

👃 What Is a Bridge Piercing?

A bridge piercing is placed horizontally across the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. While it doesn’t go through cartilage or bone, it sits just under the skin and creates a striking visual effect. It’s often mistaken as an intense piercing, but with a skilled piercer, the procedure is surprisingly quick and relatively comfortable.

👁️ What Is an Eyebrow Piercing?

An eyebrow piercing is done along the ridge of the brow — most commonly at a diagonal or vertical angle, depending on your anatomy and preference. This piercing is perfect for adding edge and personality to your look, and it heals well when cared for properly.

🧷 The Piercing Process

At Identity Body Piercing, we prioritize your safety, comfort, and aesthetic goals. Here’s what you can expect during your bridge or eyebrow piercing appointment:

Consultation: We assess your facial anatomy and discuss your desired look and jewelry options.

Marking & Placement: Your piercer will carefully mark the entry and exit points, making sure the placement complements your features.

Piercing: Using sterilized, single-use needles, we perform the piercing with precision and care.

Jewelry Insertion: We start with high-quality jewelry suited for initial healing. Implant grade titanium or solid gold is what we typically use at Identity.

Aftercare Guidance: You’ll leave with thorough aftercare instructions to support a smooth healing process.

🧼 Aftercare Tips

Healing times for bridge and eyebrow piercings typically range from 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your body and care routine. Here’s how to support proper healing:

– Clean twice daily with sterile saline solution (avoid alcohol or hydrogen peroxide).

– Avoid makeup, lotions, or harsh products near the piercing.

– Do not twist or move the jewelry — let it heal naturally.

– Be mindful of clothing, glasses, or hats that might rub the piercing.

– Check in with your piercer if you notice any swelling, irritation, or prolonged discomfort.

💎 Jewelry & Styling Options

We carry a curated selection of high-quality jewelry to suit your vibe, from minimal to bold. Here’s what you can wear and how you can style it:

Bridge Piercing Jewelry: Typically worn with straight barbells or decorative curved barbells. Available in solid gold, titanium, or anodized finishes with opals, gems, or minimalist ends.

Eyebrow Piercing Jewelry: Commonly adorned with curved barbells, but also looks amazing with petite gems, spikes, or custom gold ends for a unique twist.

You can choose to match both piercings with a similar theme, or contrast them for an edgier look — we’ll help you style it based on your face shape and personal taste.
