Want to step up your piercing game with a unique new look? An anti-eyebrow piercing might be exactly what you’re looking for, and we’re here to tell you all about them! Anti-eyebrow piercings are a type of surface piercing, which means it sits on the surface of your skin. They are pretty much the opposite of eyebrow piercings, and are also known as teardrop piercings or butterfly piercings. In this guide to getting an anti-eyebrow piercing, we’ll go over the piercing’s location, the piercing process, the healing time, recommended jewelry, and so much more.
Before we dive into this important piercing information, we want to make a few notes.

What is an Anti-Eyebrow Piercing?
Anti-Eyebrow Piercing Location:
The anti-eyebrow piercing is a piercing located on the surface of your face, just above your cheekbone. This piercing, which is also known as a butterfly or a teardrop piercing, usually sits directly below the location where eyebrow piercings go. It is a surface piercing and requires a special method of piercing that should only be done by experienced professionals. Anti-eyebrow piercings are typically placed diagonally, slanting away from the eyeball.
Anti-Eyebrow Piercing Process:
There are two different types of piercing methods that can be used to perform an anti-eyebrow piercing. The modern anti-eyebrow piercing procedure is the dermal punch and taper, and the classic method is to use a clamp and piercing needle.
Anti-Eyebrow Piercing Healing Time:
About 6-8 weeks.
