A bandana piercing is a type of body piercing that goes through the skin of the forehead, positioned where a bandana would typically be worn on the head. This piercing is considered an edgy or alternative style choice and gained popularity as a bold facial jewelry trend in the early 2000s. It is not a traditional or common piercing, but more of a unique fashion statement for those looking to express their individuality through body modifications. The term "bandana piercing" refers specifically to the location and the look it creates, reminiscent of the placement of a bandana on the forehead. This piercing fits within alternative body modification culture and is mainly about making a distinct style statement with facial jewelry. It is not related to the bandana fabric accessory itself but only to the placement of the piercing on the forehead resembling a bandana's positioning on the head.
