Eyebrow Ridging

Eyebrow ridging involves cutting and shaping the skin above the eyebrows to create a decorative ridge, requiring several months to heal, considered high risk, performed by experienced body modification artists, rooted in some African and Asian cultures as a traditional practice.

High Risk Modification

Eyebrow Ridging carries significantly higher risks than standard tattooing or piercing. Complications can be permanent and in some cases life-altering. This procedure requires a practitioner with specific, verifiable training and experience. Research thoroughly and consult a medical professional before proceeding.

Surgical Considerations

Subdermal and transdermal implants require someone with surgical knowledge and sterile technique — not standard piercing training. Implant material must be medical-grade silicone or PTFE. Understand that removal is also a surgical procedure.

Aftercare

Surgical aftercare. Avoid facial trauma. Sleep elevated to reduce swelling during healing.

Risks & Complications

Implant extrusion, asymmetry, damage to supraorbital nerves (causing numbness or pain), interference with facial expression.

History & Culture

Eyebrow ridging (implants under the brow bone) is inspired by science fiction and horror aesthetics, particularly the ridged brow anatomy of fictional alien and demon characters. It has no traditional cultural root and is exclusively a modern Western extreme body modification practice.
