Face Piercings Jewellery at SkinKandy
SkinKandy's Face Piercings Jewellery collection covers eyebrow, bridge, philtrum and lip placements, in Surgical Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold. Sizing varies by placement, from 16G curved barbells for eyebrow to 14G straight barbells for bridge, so each piercing has its own gauge and length requirements. This collection covers fresh piercings through to healed jewellery upgrades across the face.
What placements are included in Face Piercings Jewellery?
This collection spans eyebrow, bridge, philtrum and lip piercings. Eyebrow and bridge are both surface-style piercings using curved and straight barbells, while philtrum and lip piercings use flatback labrets. Each placement sits differently on the face, so jewellery style and sizing vary across the collection.
What gauge and length do I need for face piercings?
Sizing depends entirely on placement. Eyebrow piercings use a 16G curved barbell at 8mm or 10mm, bridge piercings use a longer 14G straight barbell at 10mm to 14mm, and philtrum and lip piercings use a 16G flatback labret at 8mm or 10mm. Your piercing specialist will confirm the exact size for your specific placement, since face piercings can vary more by individual anatomy than ear piercings do.
Is Surgical Steel safe for fresh face piercings?
Surgical Steel is what our piercing specialists use for fresh face piercings in studio, and it's a safe, valid choice while you heal. Surgical Steel can be used in fresh piercings, though our piercing specialists recommend implant grade Titanium or 14K Gold during the healing phase, particularly for sensitive skin. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase, as this can cause the piercing to close and reinsertion risks irritation.
How does an eyebrow piercing compare to a philtrum piercing?
An eyebrow piercing sits at an angle through the brow, worn with a 16G curved barbell, while a philtrum piercing sits centrally above the lip, worn with a 16G flatback labret. Eyebrow jewellery follows the angle of the brow, while philtrum jewellery sits flush through flatter lip tissue. Both are healed over a similar general timeframe, but the jewellery style and piercing technique differ, so it's worth discussing both with your piercing specialist if you're deciding between the two.
