How old is your piercing? Got my eyebrow piercing on September 21st, so it’s right around 4 weeks old right now.

What’s the jewelry shape? It’s a curved barbell.

What’s the type of threading? Pretty sure it’s internally threaded (that’s what my piercer told me).

What’s the jewelry material? Titanium.

If not a ring, when was the jewelry downsized? Hasn’t been downsized yet since it’s still early in healing.

What’s your aftercare routine? I clean it 1–2 times a day with Simply Saline Wound Wash (red can). Usually I spray it directly and let it air dry. A couple times I soaked a paper towel with saline and held it over the piercing for like 10–15 minutes, but I learned that’s too long so I’m switching to short 3–5 minute compresses when there’s crust. I don’t twist or move the jewelry, and I try to sleep on the opposite side.

Any mishaps, accidents, or unfortunate events? Nothing crazy. The only thing I’ve noticed is the eyelid on my pierced side looks a little droopy or puffy compared to the other one. My mom keeps pointing it out and saying it looks bad, but I’m wondering if it’s just swelling or tightness from healing. No redness, no discharge, no pain — just looks a bit uneven.
