Lip piercing

Lip piercing is considered the simplest and safest type of drilling, because there is no large vessels and complex nodes in our lips.

Monroe piercings, Medusa piercings or madonna piercings are types of lip piercing. A left piercing is a monroe and a right is a Madonna. Medusa piercings go through the Centre of the upper lip (directly under the nose). As usual, labrets of 6 to 10 mm long and 1.6 mm gauge are used for these types of drilling. To heal faster you must choose the labret with 2-3 mm length then the thickness of your lips.

However, there are some non standard types of lip piercing: vertical piercing of the lower or upper lip and lip piercings on the sides of the mouth. Such operations that you need to better choose the rings of 10 or 12 mm in diameter or bananabells of 1.6x10 or 1.6x12 mm with equal beads.

Worthy of particular mention are supposedly smile piercing, when your piercing may be visible only when you smile. It is a body piercing through the brake of the upper lip or less. For this type of piercing small jewellery 1.2x8 mm or 1.2x10 mm. the rings, the mocrobarbells and the microbananabells are appropriate. It is important for the jewellery you do not disturb and do step to hit on your teeth.

You must choose the length of the jewelry very carefully. If the length of the jewellery is not enough then it can result in "skinning on" and "caving" of jewellery, including heads of labrets. Very often, clients want small, imperceptible jewellery in their lip and buy short labrets with small head and pearls. In the process of healing the lip attempts to push out the jewelry or the jewellery of the skin above. In the case of grate above (caving, which is visible in the morning - note the author) it is necessary to replace the jewellery by a longer or a larger head.

Piercing procedure is standard and did not need of anaesthesia, curved piercing is difficult to achieve because of the marks and the entire procedure is faster and less painfully than piercing of the tongue. But it is recommended to ensure that there is no veins of piercing through the breakthrough portion of the lip to light for borer.

Vertical labret is vertical lip piercing. This type of piercing is very original, but not very widespread in our countries, Europe and the USA. The piercing looks more aesthetic, if it passes through the Centre of the lip, perpendicular to the lip, when the needle between the lower lip and teeth and out by the Centre of the lip on the top. For these microbananabells piercing of different sizes are appropriate, in support of the thickness of the lip.

Horizontal labret is recommended for sensation. This type of piercing is much more complicated. The piercing goes parallel to the lip. If the needle is insufficiently deep, the jewelry can be trained.

In addition, these drilling has longer healing period that, for example, the jellyfish commune. The piercing is constantly outdoors and by definition, a human can not help licking off the lips. So with saliva bacteria enter the piercing very well. Thus, for rapid and competent horizontal labret healing, it is necessary to do a lot of effort and maximum hygiene practice of lips.

If you don't like symmetry and harmony, then it can experiment: to penetrate obliquely, bias or not at the Centre. Discussion of aesthetics of such drilling can, but it should? Everything we do, we do for ourselves, including our own bodies. And we have a right to decide what type of piercing, we want to have.

Lip piercing aftercare is the same as for the piercing of the tongue: Rinse with of antiseptics three to four times a day and doing dip outside the piercing with topical anticeptic and does not play with the jewellery to full healing (a week to 20 days).
