Facial piercings are body modifications that involve creating holes in the skin of the face to insert jewelry. Common types include nose piercings, eyebrow piercings, and lip piercings. These piercings can vary in style and placement, allowing individuals to express their personal aesthetics. The process typically involves using a sterilized needle to create the hole, followed by inserting a piece of jewelry, such as a stud or hoop. Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infections and ensure healing. Facial piercings can be temporary or permanent, depending on the individual's preference and lifestyle.
