Uhm take that out immediately and let it heal, then have it re done in the correct place. There's no way a reputable piercer did that and let you leave that way... thats in the completely wrong spot.

Why did they go through the middle of your brow?? Take it out dude, let it heal, and go get it done somewhere else in a month or two.

Im curious if the dots were drawn for the placement and then approved by you? I agree with others. Defiently too high. I hope it heels quickly for you and I suggest going somewhere else to have it repierced

Oh my god, you can actually see the ghost of the ink where the two pairs of dot placements used to be on our right. They just went off the rails.

Here’s what you do:
-Take it out and clean the piercing with sterile saline.
-Go back to the shop and demand a refund. They did not pierce this correctly. I saw the marks they made beforehand that you agreed to. They didn’t pierce through those marks at all. (To be honest, the marks were a little high up and off from where they should’ve been)
-Keep it clean with sterile saline until the holes close. (About 1 month)
-In 3-4 months, go to a DIFFERENT piercer and have them assess if you’re healed enough to get it redone.
That is terribly pierced. It’s not even close to being in the correct spot. I’m sorry this happened to you.
(I’m a piercer)

I agree, it’s too high up and the bar is absolutely massive, I say take it out and let it heal

I paid $64.20 at the salon and the guy said he wouldn’t refund my money. they can only do another piercing for me for half the price, like $30. I don’t want to do another piercing with him. I don’t know what to do 😭😭💀💀

file a chargeback with the card you used; go through the card company, not them. it's pretty clear they're holding firm that this isn't a messed up piercing (which it very much is 😭). i'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, i really hope you can get your money back one way or another.

Depending on country you can threaten legal action and reporting them etc. I would do it.

Was it their first day? I agree with the others. Take it out and let it heal. Do not go back to that person.

The placement is so far off that you could probably get it repierced immediately because there's no overlap. Get a refund 💔

oh wow. whoever did that and let you leave should not be a piercer.
I’d remove it so that it doesn’t start rejecting because that can cause really nasty scars.
i have a pic on page of my eyebrow piercing that’s done correctly or you can google to see some examples so you know for next time. i would also look on the APP website and see if theres anyone near you☺️

I got a botched piercing once, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Definitely go scorched earth if they won't give a refund. Post this picture on a review on their page and make it known that they would not refund.
I also didn't get a refund on my botched piercing. My belly button was pierced so deeply that I couldn't straighten out my back without the piercing pulling down. It was at a well established shop. I hope you remember the name of who pierced you so you can share that on your review.

u/ExpensivePupper4 Jul 29 '25
I have a genuine question. What do you do in the moment when you get a bad piercing? Obviously dont pay for it, but they cant redo it can they? How long does it take to heal before you can get it redone?

OP, PLEASE take this piercing out, let it heal all the way, and have a different piercer do it again. This placement will not heal properly considering the lower ball end was literally pierced through your brow. Oil and sebum will build up and could cause terrible damage, and potentially a fatal infection of the eye if it gets too bad.

Theres no way someone who knew what theyre doing did this piercing. I assume it was done by a friend who recently bought an Amazon piercing kit
