Is it normal that my eyebrow ring smells?

Even a day after I wash it, it starts smelling so strongly that when I move it, I can smell it. I know it's gross (sorry) but is it normal? It doesn't show any other abnormal signs.. Just smells bad. :/

    All piercings have that smell, but with smaller guage sizes it's not noticeable. Your eyebrow is probably pierced at a 14, when I switched to 14 gauge is when I started noticing the smell.

    It's just the smell of the dead skin cells, soap that gets stuck in there, and whatever gets in it during the day. Piercings are essentially a constant wound. They shed skin faster because they're constantly trying to heal but prevented from healing because of the jewelry.

    Your eyebrows are designed to keep sweat out of your eyes. My assumption is the ring is getting some of that stink. Or it's infected, that happens too.

    But I don't have a piercing, what do I know? I suggest you email that place where you got it done and ask them.
