Question Body piercings & diving

If someone has an eyebrow piercing and they want to dive, will it interfere with the mask or doesn't that matter?

Most masks have eye areas that will go above the eyebrow. The easiest way to figure that out is to go to your Local Dive Shop (LDS) and try on the masks they have in the shop. You'll be able to find one that fits right and stays away from the piercing. If the piercing is under the skirt of the mask, it could cause minor flooding, so you would want to stay away from that.
