An eyebrow piercing is a vertical surface piercing, wherein a twelve to eighteen gauge cannula needle is inserted through the bottom of the eyebrow and exits through the top of the eyebrow to permit insertion of jewelry. Those performing the piercing may use a pennington clamp to better guide the needle through the skin. A curved barbell is the most common jewelry inserted post-piercing.
A horizontal piercing of the eyebrow is known as an anti-eyebrow piercing.

and panic, and a weak mailed fist
clenched ignorant against the sky!”
