This piercing is almost always done with a barbell, so I quite liked the change of getting to see it with a ring, which I think suits it quite well in a Captain Lou Albano sort of way… This one was done by Steve at Dreamcatcher Tattoo in Currituck, NC, and is a week old in this photo.
Edit: Since people insist on me stating the obvious, this piercing will be more difficult to heal with this jewelry.

Lover her eyes. No comment on the piercing.
One question….. Why?
Stupidest piercing I’ve ever seen.
I agree, her eyes are beautiful, and ditto on piercing.
Yea… I don’t like it with a ring at all. Looks very unhappy.
It just looks swollen and painfull, cant wait to see it healed, never seen a ring there or a piercing really there at all.
i think it looks cool, but if it were me, i’d be afraid of it migrating out of my face 🙁 how sad that would be!
I will never understand people who jump all over piercings for “looking unhappy” when they’re still in the healing process. Come on, guys, she just got metal jammed into her skin a week ago. It’s not going to look perfect.
I laughed at the Captain Lou Albano comment 🙂
beautiful eyes. The piercing is interesting, never seen that one before. Not sure I’d do it, but looks good on her.
I like it, I hope it don’t reject. :]
I actually really like that one but I think it’d probably migrate. Eager to see how it turns out.
I only say that because I’ve had an anti-eyebrow piercing and it never looked that bad, even when freshly pierced.
tat2guy, i laughed my butt off as well!
i got this vivid mental image of captain lou albano and it was too much.
Shannon, this surprises me. Yeah it’s different, but different for a reason. Same reason that ANY surface piercing will not heal with a CBR.
Someone has watched 300 a few too many times…
kc beat me to it
oh comeon.. dumb
Never mind the entirely sketchy looking piercing (which, BTW, should not look like that even after “only” a week), which does nothing but detract from her gorgeous eyes… That graff neck-tattoo rocks! I *love* bold graff work, props for placement too.
it doesn’t look too happy… =\
r.e.j.e.c.t.i.o.n! rejection! yeah, yeah rejection! yay!!!
sorry for being kind of bitchy, but i’m putting my money on it not lasting.
but i totally agree with beautiful eyes!
i dont know. i don’t like it. but as everyone else agrees she has marvelous eyes.
I agree with the first comment, nice eyes, but not so much the piercing.
since when does Dreamcatchers do any sort of surface piercing? The last time I was there, the closest they got to a surface piercing was a belly button.
Also, Dreamcatchers is currently operating without a business permit (not exactly their fault) http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/stories/2007/07/16/0716TattooDM.html
guess she liked “300″ also
um, i wanna rip that out of her face.
Attractive specimen with fugly piercing.
i love her eyes and the piercing is okay hope it dont reject .
Is that an ICP tattoo on here neck i like it.
no it’s ipc? im confused about the neck tat someone care to explain it to me?
i dislike the look of captives in surface piercings.
I’m curious to see how this will heal.
Ah well, ’300′ fan or not, whatever floats your boat.
I would have used a surface-bar and the ring after it finished healing coz of migration but it s your fave. beautyful eyes btw.
it must be rather uncomfortable for this to heal..ouch
Piercers that use anything but surface bars to do surface piercings… I wouldn’t go to them for an ear piercing.
This is garbage.
I actually gasped when I saw her eyes. They’re so gorgeous!
And like a couple of people have said, I would be absolutely paranoid about that migrating out of my face. But she’s got the guts, and she rocks it, so good on her!
eeee, why 🙁 It’s just going to be a nasty scar 🙁
*making me sad*
I want to poke the corners of her mouth with my fingers to make her smile. None too crazy about the piercing, but she’s very pretty.
that looks retarded
wow, this totally made me wanna throw up 🙂
People shouldn’t be uptight. Yes, it will probably reject in time, but the fact is that almost all surface piercings do reject in time — proper technique doesn’t solve the problem most of the time, it just slows it down dramatically.
Maybe she’ll wear a rubber band in it like Captain Lou to keep it. And if anyone has a picture of his piercing, please send it my way — I’ve been trying to find a good one for the encyclopedia…
You can see a picture of them on his tshirt in this photo:

I will say the Capt.Lou comment made me chuckle.
However, and this isn’t me being uptight this is me as a professional providing a surface for clients…As well as a heavy supporter of what BME stands for and have been for many years now.
I will say this at least deserved a “risk” comment. I mean for many years now Shannon BME has taken strides to educate not just only about any and all body modifications that go on. But also the risks involving body jewelry, technique, quality,etc.
I think by pretty much glorifying this work, and not publically noting the risks in the entry, is sending a message to the average person that this is acceptable. We know that if done proper(surface bars, proper technique,etc) as well as with knowledgeable clients,etc that a surface piercing migration/rejection can be slowed down, and infact for many years be slowed down. Whereas we in the know, yourself included, know this has virtually a few weeks, months worth lifespan…Infact you can already see downward pressure being applied to the area, so I’d give it less than a month tops.
This conversation can totally go on…I just want to say that its definately post worthy, because its body modification…But I think the general uninformed public(which is the majority) need to know the risks constantly…As not everyone else is in the know, like many of us…We’ve all been on this site for years, the average person…Probably a day here an there searching…So its in the publics best interest to constantly educate them.
Maybe its just me and my over-cautious stance I’ve taken for the past many years…But after seeing so many people saying: “I want it done! I saw it on a website!” or various other things…I think its our responsibility as professional piercers, or those with in-depth knowledge to constantly make people realize the concerns/problems/issues.
I mean isn’t that why you were doing all those interviews with the top piercers from all over? To help educate/inform the public?
Enclosing I just want to say…God I miss Capt.Lou!
I realize I’m arriving late, but I’m skeptical about successfully healing this kind of piercing. Just because Xerxes wore numerous facial surface piercing in “300″ doesn’t mean they work in real life. I hope that this piercer and piercee both have experience with healed surface piercing elsewhere on her body before gambling on her face. Otherwise, if it doesn’t heal and leaves a scar perhaps it can be “tweaked” to being a scar she likes.
Note, I am not bagging on the effort, just expressing concern about possible aesthetic outcome.
I was surprised by the amount of people saying “I hope it heals”. Not that I want her to have a nasty facial scar but there’s no ifs ands or buts this will absolutely reject. How fast depends on her body but a cbr for any surface piercing isn’t going to work out. It creates the pressure on piercings that surface bars were designed to alleviate.
I know someone who used a D-ring in his anti-eyebrow, which seems like a better compromise to me. He got the look of a ring, but as far as the actual piercing was concerned, it essentially had a surface bar in it. Think he’s had it a long time now, as well.
Look, obviously it’s going to have a high chance of rejection. The fact that there’s zillion people saying that should make it pretty clear that that is COMMON KNOWLEDGE. There’s a link to the encyclopedia at the top of every entry on ModBlog for a reason — so that people can educate themselves. Does a warning really have to be on EVERYTHING?
See, I’d always thought being the wet blanket was my purpose here.
Who on here really needs to be reminded that this piercing is made of 100% pure fail? Shannon is just saying that it is a different and interesting look, that’s all. Me, I think it looks like ass, but that’s just my 2c.
