What is migration in a piercing?

Avoiding Migration with Your Eyebrow Piercing

With an eyebrow piercing, there is always a risk of migration. This means that your body will heal and push the piercing out, the same way it would any other foreign object (like a splinter). There are two basic ways to avoid, or at least hinder, the migration process:

  1. Have your piercing technician pierce your eyebrow farther in (i.e., take as much flesh to pierce as is safe).
  2. Choose eyebrow jewelry that will hamper migration. Barbells are your best choice.
Migration can also work in your favor: If you only want a temporary piercing, you can have an eyebrow piercing done through a slender bit of skin. This will increase the time that it takes before your piercing has moved forward and healed.
