Ever since I started listening to pop music when I was a young boy, I’ve wanted to get my eyebrow pierced. Where did I get inspiration? Yep. It was the famous “5ive” british boy pop band’s front man Jason aka J. the Coolest-Man-Alive as I used to call him. I had to have been about 11 or 12, and I fell in love with his piercing.
It didn’t stop there. I grew up, and got into rock/metal music between the ages of 15 and now, I heard about Evanescence on the radio, and I loved Amy Lee’s voice. Googled around and checked videos sites and tracked files on p2p sharewares and waited for countdowns on MTV then finally was able to see what she looked like, I was like, “Oh! She’s got her eyebrow pierced, it looks AMAZING“. Then along came other bands like Korn, with eyebrow-pierced Jonathan Davis, and the more I saw it, the more and more I wanted one. Not to mention the hottie “Fergie” from the Black-Eyed Peas, her eyebrow piercing looks really neat located right at the arch of her eyebrow, in the center.
Finally, after begging for one, and of course my parents went nuts when I asked them, and they refused, I saved up some money, and researching tattoo and piercing places in Amman, I found two shops (both located at Sweifieh), Karakeeb and Top Fashion, The piercest at Karakeeb does it with a gun (normal ear pierce gun) for around JD 30 while Top Fashion’s piercest does it with a needle (so safe, in case you don’t want to lose sight) for 45 JD.
I made my decision and had it done at Top Fashion, The place is great. They have an excellent reputation for being the cleanest. Their piercist has trained in the states, and is very good at what he does. My piercest, Fahmi Al-Qawasmi distracted my attention with discussions, sprayed my eyebrow with a medical spray, and TA-DA My eyebrow is pierced. It hurt, but not near as much as I thought it would. He did a great job, and I’d really like to go to him again for a next piercing (if I ever decide to have another one). He was nice, he made me feel comfortable, and he hates needles too. I told him needles make me nervous in general, and he did a good job of making me feel better.
Anyway, after getting, it all cleaned up and nice, he asked me to keep the medical ring he put for a week then replace it and put on the new one, well… I couldn’t wait, I changed it after 3 days. And I’m proud, it’s been up there for 6 months and I still love it! I’m not thinking of taking it off, and I think it looks great.

well when i had my 3 tattoos around 6 years ago, it was agonizing! but my last 2 were like a breeze! i even did one without local sedation! finding a specialist who u feel comfortable with and is super clean is the best thing u can do when it comes to skin.. i remember when i got my peirces bi amman uni years, it was hell! when i came back to dubai and did the remaining ones i wanted also far2at ktir, and yes needles are the best way to go about it. even if ur peircing the tip of ur ear, its safer, easier, and wont leave a scar if u wish to take off the stud at any point in ur life.
i like ur peirce, not very common in amman, which makes it all the more rocking!

For everyones notice, If you want a real proffesional tattooist here in jordan. You should know that Huzz Ink in jordan is the only proffessional tattoo and piercing shop you can find. theres a couple that say theyre good, but ill give yu 2 pics of their woork and you’ll know that its real bad, and yu know old needles, used ink.
So Huzz Ink, Is a shop in sweifieh, his work is almost perfect, as good as miami ink if you ever heard. he has a superior quality in both piercings and tats, and hes qorking on airbrushing cars, walls, vans, motorbikes. He airbrushed my walls in my house, and its beautiful, like my very own sanctuary.
Ive seen all his work and its beyond amazing. People claim that he sets high prices but the thing is, its a thing yur gunna get once in your life. might aswell pay for it, and yu will surely get what yu paid for. its worth it. but yu know yu can always negotiate.I have got a tat there and planning to get another very soon. I also got 3 piercings, a tongue and a belly, and a nose. i from personal experience can trust his taste in anything. + yu can check his work on photobucket or youtube. when you just type huzz tattoos.
No one will ever be disappointed if he walks in to get a tat done. the place is totally hygenic and all his kit is from the usa. needles get delivered to him every 2 or 3 months from the USA.
Check it out.

im thinking of getting a piercing as well and i was wondering why u didnt choose karakeeb. other than the fact they wanted to do it with a gun, was the piercer unprofessional, did he or she not act like they knew what they were doing. ect.
thanks
