'''Trepanation''' is the creation of a hole in the skull to enhance brain function. Trepanation works under the theory that by creating a hole in the skull, brain [[Blood|blood]] volume is changed and brain function is enhanced, creating a "permanent high" or enlightenment of sorts. While trepanation has a number of very convincing advocates, the vast majority—including many people who have gone through the procedure—hold that it is primarily a placebo effect.
Referred to by some people as a "third eye piercing" or occasionally a "Unicorn piercing", the '''vertical bridge''' piercing sits vertically between the eyebrows (imagine an [[Eyebrow Piercing|eyebrow piercing]] right in the middle). It's often done using a [[Curved barbell]], but it really should be done with a [[Surface bar]] in order to ensure good healing.

Referred to by some people as a "third eye piercing" or occasionally a "Unicorn piercing", the vertical bridge piercing sits vertically between the eyebrows (imagine an eyebrow piercing right in the middle). It's often done using a Curved barbell, but it really should be done with a Surface bar in order to ensure good healing.
