I've had my eyebrow pierced 3 different times, Its really hard to get the ball back in when you first try, I remember trying to get it in and having to push really hard. What I did was take the hoop out and pull the ends apart a little bit to stretch it out then see how easy it is to snap the ball back in.

Leave it alone,till you see your piercer.For the night put a bandaid over it,so it doesn't snag while you sleep.You are more likely to get an infection if you mess around with it.
The only reason people get infections in their piercings is because they get lazy,and don't properly clean them.
Also don't use rubbing alcohol or peroxide.They kill skin tissues.The proper way to take care of a piercing is by cleaning it everyday with anti bacterial soap such as dial.To promote healing get a shot glass of warm water and mix in a little SEA SALT not table salt.This is a natural way to promote healing,and draw out infection.Leave it on there for about 10 minutes at least two times a day until healed(about 2 weeks).While cleaning make sure to rotate the piercing.
Also since your a girl make sure you don't get make-up in it.I don't know how many times I've had girls come to me after i pierce them cause they have an infection due to make-up,and lack of cleaning.
Good luck,and don't worry that happens all the time to peoples piercings.

so the ball fell out? and you can screw it back on? i dont see why you cant get it back on. you should try as much as you can to get the ball back on, just concentrate even though it can be a little tricky sometimes. it wont get infected. if you are cleaning it, piercings care solution and sea salt soaks they you should be fine. if you cant get the ball back on maybe you can get a piece of syrafoam or something and stick it on the end where the barbell end fell off. and clean it first thing when you wake up in the morning since whetever u put on it will not be totally sanitary.
its good that you are going ot the piercer tomorrow. they will be able to fix your jewelery. itsokay if it bleed since its only a few weeks onld plaus you hit it on the door so yeah.
PLEASE!!!!what ever you do! do NOT USE NEOSPORIN! hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol as this will irritate your piercing!
yes it says all of that in bold lettering on the middle of the pamphlet of aftercare for new piercings.
so dont listen to all of these people that are telling you to put hydrogen peroxide or neosporin, it will only make it worse!
please i cannot strees it enough!
just stick to the piercings aftercare solution and sea salt soaks and you will be fine..
good luck

first of all, don't put peroxide or neosporin on it! Those are both very bad for peircings! THe peroxide can actually cause scarification and the neosporin can trap germs and cause infection(yeah, kinda weird huh?). I used a spray called H2Ocean on my industrial and it helped tremendously. Wash your eyebrow off really good with some liquid antibacterial soap and a Q-tip...do this twice a day and then kinda wash it off with saline solution several times a day till you can go back and have the piercer recheck it.
Good luck with your peircing!

Relax. There's not really much you can do. One word of advice though. I spoke to a couple of people with eyebrow piercings and they told me that they had a lot of trouble with them. Even if you don't have an accident or injury, they get infected easily and always "work out", so you either have to get it re-pierced or have an ugly scar that could affect the shape of your eyebrow. Guys might not mind that so much, but girls are usually more sensitive about permanent scars. The more you have it re-pierced, the worse it is.

When my daughter had her eyebrow pierced her ball fell off and the piercer told her to put salt water on it made with Sea salt...She did that for a couple of days then she put anti-biotic cream on it then went and had it checked...Good luck

Clean it up with peroxide and put neosporin on. If you still have the ball, take that with you to the peircing place -- they can get it back in.

You should clean around it just to make sure it's not infected.
