The Pink Tatpier Standard: A Service that is Safe, Stylish, and Offers Incredible Value

Your face deserves the highest standard of care. We built our reputation on three core principles that directly address what clients look for in a premier piercing experience.

 

1. Uncompromising Safety & Hygiene

An eyebrow piercing is a type of surface piercing, which requires a precise technique to minimise the risk of complications. Your safety is our paramount concern.

  • 100% Needle-Based Piercing: We exclusively use brand new, single-use, sterilised needles for every procedure. A needle creates a clean, precise channel, which is essential for the healthy healing of a surface piercing.
  • Expert Anatomical Knowledge: Our piercers have a deep understanding of facial anatomy. We know how to pierce at the correct depth and angle to significantly reduce the risk of migration or rejection.
  • Hospital-Grade Sterilisation: All tools and initial jewellery are sterilised in a medical-grade autoclave, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination.

 

2. The Art of Stylish Placement

An eyebrow piercing is all about the angle and placement. A few millimetres can make the difference between a piercing that perfectly complements your features and one that looks awkward.

  • A Customised Approach: Our expert piercers are artists. We don’t just follow a standard spot; we assess your unique facial structure, brow shape, eye shape, and bone structure. We then work with you to mark a placement that is perfectly flattering for you.

3. An Affordable Investment in Quality

We believe in transparent pricing that reflects true value. While you may find cheaper options elsewhere, a professional piercing at Pink Tatpier is an affordable investment in your long-term health and a beautiful, lasting result.

  • Why “Cheap” is Expensive: A cheap piercing from an inexperienced operator often leads to costly complications. Migration, rejection, infection, and improper placement can result in scarring and the need to have the piercing removed and redone.
  • Our Value Proposition: Our professional service, high-quality implant-grade jewellery, and expert aftercare advice are all designed to give you the best possible chance of a successful, complication-free healing process. That is true value.

 

A Guide to Eyebrow Piercing Placements & Styles

The “standard” eyebrow piercing is just the beginning.

  • The Classic Vertical Eyebrow Piercing: This is the most common placement, typically performed at a slight angle near the outer third of the eyebrow. It’s angled to follow the natural line of the brow, creating a flattering, classic look.
  • The Horizontal Eyebrow Piercing: A more modern and unique alternative, this piercing is placed horizontally along the line of the brow, usually either directly above or directly below the main line of hair.
  • Multiple & Custom Placements: For a bolder statement, double or even triple eyebrow piercings can be arranged to create a unique pattern. Our piercers can also work with you to plan custom projects that combine the eyebrow piercing with other facial piercings for a cohesive, curated look.

 

The Eyebrow Piercing Process: What to Expect

  1. Consultation & Jewellery Selection: You’ll discuss your desired placement and choose your initial jewellery from our collection of implant-grade curved barbells.
  2. Anatomy Check & Artistic Marking: Your piercer will assess your brow ridge and mark the entry and exit points with precision. You will always check and approve the final placement in a mirror.
  3. The Swift, Sterile Piercing Procedure: The piercing itself is very quick, performed with a smooth and professional technique.
  4. Aftercare Briefing: We provide a comprehensive aftercare plan to ensure you have all the knowledge needed for a successful healing journey.

Eyebrow Piercing Cost, Pain & Healing: Your London Guide (September 2025)

Pain Level

Most clients find the eyebrow piercing to be one of the more manageable piercings. On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain is typically rated at a 4-6. You will feel a strong, quick pinch. It is common to experience some swelling and potentially some minor bruising (similar to a faint black eye) in the first few days, but this is temporary and subsides quickly.

 

Healing Time

As a surface piercing that is in a high-movement area of the face and is prone to being snagged, the eyebrow piercing takes time to heal fully. Expect a healing time of 6 to 9 months.

Cost of an Eyebrow Piercing in London

Our pricing is transparent and straightforward.

Service Price (GBP) What’s Included
Eyebrow Piercing Service Fee £40 – £50 A professional consultation, placement advice, sterile procedure, and aftercare guide.
Initial Jewellery Starts from £20 An implant-grade titanium curved barbell. Price varies for solid gold or gemstone ends.
Total Starting Price From £60 – £70 The service fee + the cost of your chosen jewellery.

 

The Best Jewellery for Your Eyebrow Piercing

For Initial Healing: The Curved Barbell

For the entire initial healing period, the only appropriate jewellery is a simple, high-quality curved barbell.

  • Why? A curved barbell’s shape matches the natural curve of the piercing channel through the brow ridge. It is the most stable option and minimises pressure on the healing tissue. A hoop or ring is not suitable for a fresh eyebrow piercing, as its larger diameter and movement will lead to irritation and a high risk of migration.

For a Healed Piercing

Once fully healed (after 6-9 months), you can explore a variety of stylish options:

  • Snug-fitting Hoops: Seamless rings and captive bead rings (CBRs) are a classic, popular look.
  • Decorative Barbell Ends: You can keep the comfortable curved bar and simply change the threaded ends to sparkling gems, opals, or unique shapes.

Materials Matter

We only use the safest, implant-grade materials for your peace of mind:

  • Implant-Grade Titanium (ASTM F-136)
  • 14k & 18k Solid Gold (Nickel-Free)

 

Professional Aftercare for a Healthy Eyebrow Piercing

  • DO clean the piercing twice daily with a sterile saline solution.
  • BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL when washing your face, applying makeup, doing your hair, and getting dressed. Snagging on towels, sweaters, and washcloths is the number one enemy of a healing eyebrow piercing.
  • DO NOT wax, thread, or pluck your eyebrows too close to the piercing during the initial healing period.
  • DO NOT use harsh facial cleansers, exfoliants, or acne creams directly on the piercing site.
  • DO NOT sleep on the piercing. Try to sleep on your back or the opposite side.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyebrow Piercings

1. Will an eyebrow piercing cause nerve damage or make my eyebrow droop?

This is a common myth. When performed by a professional, experienced piercer who understands facial anatomy, the risk of hitting any significant nerves is virtually non-existent. The piercing is very superficial and does not affect the muscles that control your facial expressions.

2. Will I lose my eyebrow hair? Will it grow back?

The piercing does not damage the hair follicles, which are located deeper in the skin. Your eyebrow hair will grow back completely normally around the piercing.

3. How do I stop my eyebrow piercing from rejecting?

The best prevention is a piercing that is done correctly from the start—at the right depth and angle by a professional. After that, the most important thing you can do is avoid snagging or putting any pressure on the jewellery.

4. Can I be pierced with a hoop?

No. A reputable piercer will not use a hoop for an initial eyebrow piercing. The shape and movement of a hoop in a fresh surface piercing will almost always lead to rejection. You must heal with a curved barbell first.
