piercings - eyebrow

[barnetboy]

is it possible for an eyebrow piercing to 'grow out'? as in, for he skin ver the piercing to shrink to the point where there is no longer a hole for the piercing? i don't mean like an ear piercing would heal over, but if the bar in my eyebrow is always in, is it possible for the skin to just shrink and move around the ba so the bar falls out and there i no longer a hole???

No. It just would not be possible

Yes. The piercing can move itself to te edge of the skin, so that the pice of skin between the 2 bits of the piercing shrinks gradually over time and eventually disappears. The proper term is migration, and a body piercer could tell you more about this

so what would be the earky signs of it migrating? i've noticed that the skin over the bar is kinda shrinkin...is this normal...or is it actually a sihng that it's gonna grow out? anybody know???

the first signs of migration are that you can start to see the bar through the skin, as the skin becomes more translucent from the bar moving closer to the surface. There isnt really much u can do to stop it though. How is it now?
