Face - Earl (Bridge)


Description: A horizontal surface piercing at the top of the nose, between the eyes.

General Information: Because most surface piercings have a tendancy to migrate/reject, this needs to be pierced with great care by a skilled professional. People with bridge piercings have not reported any involuntary eye-crossing as a result of their piercing. And unless eyeglasses are worn at the very top of your nose, you should be able to get this piercing and still wear your glasses.

Recommended Starter Jewelry: Piercer recommended

Estimated Healing Time: 8 - 12 weeks
