The most serious risks are infections, allergic reactions, bleeding, and damage to nerves or teeth. Infections may be caused by hepatitis, HIV, tetanus, bacteria, and yeast. If the piercer washes his/her hands and uses gloves and sterile equipment and you take good care of your piercing, the risk of infection is lowered (but still exists).
Did you know that:
You CAN get and/or spread a serious infection (including HIV), if the piercing equipment hasn't been sterilized properly
Infections caused by bacteria getting into the puncture of the piercing may also happen later, even after the piercing has healed
If the studio uses a piercing "gun" to do body piercings, LEAVE! Piercing guns cannot be sterilized and should NOT be used for body piercing
Another cause of problems from piercings is using wrong kind of jewelry for the area pierced. If the jewelry is too small, it can actually cut off the blood supply to the tissue, causing swelling and pain. If the jewelry is either too thin or too heavy, or if you are allergic to the metal, your body may reject the jewelry. This means that your body reacts against the jewelry because it is a "foreign object".
Know the risks before you have your body pierced:
Bacterial infection (where you had the piercing)
Excessive (a lot of) bleeding
Allergic reactions (to certain kinds of jewelry)
Damage to nerves (for example, you may lose feeling at the area that gets pierced)
Keloids (thick scarring at the piercing site)
Dental damage (swelling and infection of the tongue, chipped/broken teeth, choking on loose jewelry)

pros of eyebrow piercings: they are very simple to take care of and you can change them after only 6-8 weeks. They look great as well. Didn't hurt that bad either. On the scale of 1-10 only like a 2 or 3
cons: migration and rejection
I have mine done and love it. I haven't had many problems with mine what so ever. And it has healed great. In order to clean it you use anti bacterial soap and clean it with that rinse it off. And make sure you wash your hands with soap before touching the piercing while it is healing. You can also use sea salt in warm water (soak a paper towel in it and create a warm compress) place the paper towel on your eyebrow. Anyway it's my favorite piercing. I have had a nose piercing a couple of times. Still this is my fav. Good Luck.

it's like any other piercing, it's going to hurt and it will need some serious tlc. chances are it wil get infected, so do your best prior to and during the infection to heal it. clean it with warm sea salt water and bactine.. do NOT use neosporin (blocks the air from getting to it). or clean it with whatever the piercer tells you do.
