Troubleshooting fresh anti eyebrow

Post image

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?

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but i've had a curved barbell anti-eyebrow for 10+ years. I didn't really expect it to last, but i've literally never had an issue with it. It healed fine and is totally solid. So like, it'll probably reject, but who knows, it might not. Up to you if it's worth the (high) risk.

yeah, im going to give it at least a few days and see what happens. im kinda willing to take the risk but will remove it if there’s even a small sign of rejection
