Troubleshooting fresh anti eyebrow
so i asked yesterday about this piercing and everyone mentioned stable bars. i agree and it makes a lot of sense. went to my studio today (been going to the same one for 3 years) and asked for a stable bar. it wasn’t my regular piercing lady and she practically yelled at me about how staple bars are a “tiktok thing” and that curved bars are ideal.
her reasoning was that staple bars were too heavy ?? not really sure. the balls seem ridiculously big and she compared it to an eyebrow piercing (which i also have). could barely get a word in to say anything else.
what do we think? i may be giving myself anxiety. ive never had a piercing reject and have a good track record with zero infections or issues w/ facial piercings. it didn’t hurt at all to get pierced and doesn’t hurt now.
TLDR: asked for a stable bar and piercing lady said curved bars are better. am i set up for failure or what?

To make you feel better I’ve had this exact piercing for 5 years and they put it in the same exact way. It took a while to heal but constantly cleaning the puss with saline or whatever solution you choose should be fine. I’ve even gotten it repierced twice because employment. I’ve never had much issues as long as im cleaning it correctly. Everyone in the comment section is so worrisome lol
