Witch's Piercing

This is a very rare, unique piercing. The Witch's piercing is a piercing that is done between the toes of people with webbed does (incomplete simple toe syndactyly). The first Witch's piercing to be documented was done by Zak at Tattoos Unlimited in Morehead, KY in 2005.

Jewelry: There isn't really much information on this piercing, but what I have found is that it has been pierced around 14G, with a 10mm-12mm bar, depending on how thick the tissue is.

Aftercare: What I found on the aftercare is to just do sea salt soaks like most piercings. It also has been reported that (to help ease the swelling), they have done sea salt & chamomile soaks.

Frowny Piercing.

A frowny is a piercing that goes through the lower lip frenulum. It was named by an Israeli piercer Sarai Bismuth, who also named the Smiley (upper lip frenulum piercing).

Jewelery: Most common jewelery is captive rings of some sort or curved barbells. Usually pierced around 18-16G.

Aftercare: Aftercare is just like any other oral piercing. Alcohol free mouthwash would be your best bet.

*This piercing can cause problems such as gum recession & tooth abrasion. Be careful.*

Eyelid Piercing.

This is a very rare piercing. It is not done often, but has been done successfully. There isn't much information on this piercing on the internet.

Jewelry: The only jewelry I have seen are captive bead rings. I'd imagine that it's pierced around 16G-14G.

Aftercare: I'm not completely sure about the aftercare, but I'd imagine as with any other flap of skin you'd use a saline solution. You'd just have to be careful to not get it directly in your eye, maybe dip a q-tip/cottonswab in the saline solution and cleaning the piercing with that.

Eyebrow Piercing.

This is a very common piercing. It is a surface piercing through the ridge of the eyebrow. It started to become more popular during the punk movement in the 1970's.

Jewelry: Eyebrow piercings are pierced anywhere from 18G-12G, and the most common jewelery is a curved barbell. Although some used circular barbells & captive rings.

Aftercare: Just as most piercings, you can use either anti-bacterial foam soap or sea salt soaks!

JewelEye aka Eyeball Implant

I stumbled across something very cool the other day. It is now possible to get implants in the white area of your eye. It is a legal procedure in the Netherlands, and is offered at eye clinics under the name JewelEye.

Shapes that are available:

-Music Note

-Euro Sign
-Star
-Heart
-Four Leaf Clover

Facts about JewelEye:

-The procedure takes about 15 minutes.
-As of right now only seven people have had this done.
-The jewelery is a platinum alloy about 1/8" across.
-It is only available in the Netherlands.

Two clinics that provide the service:

-Cornea Clinic, Rotterdam, Laan op Zuid, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, phone +31 10 485 4882
-Oogzorgcentrum Driebergen, Traaij 42, 3971 GP Driebergen, The Netherlands, phone +31 343 522 193 or +31 343 516 718

I found this to be very neat! If it was available in the USA, I would be quite interested. Very different, and cool!





Gerrit Melles, director of Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery who developed this procedure said:

"In my view, it is a little more subtle than (body) piercing. It is a bit of a fun thing and a very personal thing for people. Without doing any harm to the eye, we can implant a jewel in the conjunctiva. So far, we have not seen any side effects or complications, and we don't expect any in the future."

Chin Piercing

A chin piercing is a piercing is a piercing that goes through the skin on your chin, and not passing through the mouth at all. It is most of the time done vertically, but can be done horizontally.

Jewelry: Most chin piercings use barbells.

Aftercare: Sea salt soaks or washing it with anti-bacterial soap.


Since this is a surface piercing in a very touchy area, it comes with risks such as: Surface piercing rejection, Impact Damage, Migration, and Short Surface Bar.

Cheek Piercings

Cheek piercings. Also known as Dimple piercings.

Cheek piercings are usually done through the "sweet spot" which can be found by put your finger in your mouth like a hook, and wherever it rests on your cheek, is the sweet spot!

Jewelry: Cheek piercings are usually done with long labret studs.

Aftercare: Sea Salts soaks for the outside of the piercing, and for the inside of the piercing, use alcohol-free mouthwash.

Must be careful with Cheek piercings! Be sure that it is not placed behind the first molar, to avoid interferences with the parotid gland. Other than that these can be fun, awesome piercings!
