Whether you dare or not, surely there is a facial piercing that has caught your attention. It can be a discreet ornament on the nose or lip. Or become an authentic exercise in face art with earrings, a personal identity design. What is the style that you like the most?

To give you ideas, today I am going to talk about the most popular facial piercings .

These are the 5 most common facial piercings

Surely you have never stopped to think about the number of possibilities that your face has, when choosing where to put a piercing .

Eyebrows, nose and lips are the most common areas and they are the ones I want to recommend today.

In some cases, I like the asymmetrical effect of wearing an earring on one side more (here I talked about unit earrings and the appeal of asymmetrical looks ) but the effect of placing an earring in a central point is also very interesting. , or even two equidistant slopes.

If you feel like looking in the mirror and seeing yourself with a facial piercing , these are the easiest options.

Surely to begin with, you will find the one you like here 😉

1. On the eyebrow

The eyebrow piercing is one of the most popular, both for men and women.

Perhaps it influences that the most common place to drill, which is usually at the end of the eyebrow, is one of the areas that heal faster and hurt less, although you can also put it parallel, on the upper part.

Obviously, you won't be able to put shadows on your eyelid until it's well healed, but when you do... you'll see what an effect!

2. On the nose: nostril or septum

In the nose fin or nostril , it does not matter if it is on the right or left side. 

In the old days it seems that there was some code regarding placement: men put it on one side, women on another. But today we are going to give it out of date, so choose what you like best.

It is a very basic piercing but it always gives good results. If you are looking for one to start with, this could be it.

We continue in the nose, but now we are referring to the area of ​​cartilage between the nostrils, also known as the septum . It is a painful perforation that requires care, being inside the nose.

It is important to point out that the cartilage is not perforated, but rather the skin, just at the end of the nasal septum.

Normally U-shaped hoops or earrings are placed there.

3. Bridge of the nose

Also called bridge piercings , these are very superficial perforations that are made on the bridge of the nose.

Due to the location, it is a fantastic piercing to attract attention, since normally when we talk to a person it is right there where we put our eyes. If you regularly make up your eyes the impression is even more powerful.

They are usually horizontal piercings, although it is increasingly common to see vertical piercings .

A fairly common question is whether you can get this piercing and wear glasses. The answer is yes, but it is recommended that you take it into account the day you do it. Take them and adjust the height of the piercing.

4. Cheeks

You know those dimples that get on some people's cheeks when they smile? Well, one way to emulate them is to get cheek piercings.

Precisely for this reason it is usual to drill twice. And again, I have to recommend that you take extreme care and that you put yourself in professional hands, so that rubbing against the teeth and gums does not give you problems.

Although the entire cheek is usually pierced, there are also other possibilities that avoid this risk. There is a type of piercing , called microdermal, which does not go through the tissue from side to side, just enough to insert the jewel you want to wear. Consult it before deciding where you want to drill.

5. Upper or lower lip

If we talk about the upper lip, you have three basic options: Monroe, Madonna or Medusa.

If you wear it on the left, it will be a tribute to one of the most famous moles in film history: Marilyn Monroe's.

If you put it on the right, then we are talking about a Madonna piercing .

And you put it in the center, in that groove under the nose that divides the upper lip in two, then in a philtrum piercing or Medusa.

And what about the lower lip? The typical earring, the one you are thinking of, in the center of the lip, is called a labret.

Here's a trick: you're not actually piercing the lip itself, but the skin just below the fleshy part. The typical thing is a ball or a ring, which can be open or closed.

If you prefer the same, but on the side, what you are asking for is a Snakebite.

These are the most common and most demanded piercings , but there are many more depending on the area you choose.

Are there any that you particularly like? Which would you recommend, if you had to choose? You know I love receiving all your suggestions. I write them down to include them in future posts and continue giving good ideas.
