A Lip piercing is a type of body piercing which penetrate the lips, or the area surrounding the lips. The lips and surrounding area can be pierced in a variety of ways. Of the possible piercing locations available, the ones that are most commonly referred to are those of the Monroe, Medusa and labrets.

The Monroe lip piercing techniques gets its name from the famous Marilyn Monroe upper lip mole. These piercing are done with a flat-backed labret stud and it is pierced into the upper lip at the gum line.

The Medusa piercing technique also goes on the upper lips, but rather than being off-set to one side, the piercing is done trough the center of the lip in the region known as the philtrum which is the part of the lips centered just under the nostrils.

The Labret piercing can further be separated into different types. The first type of labret piercing is those on the upper lip similar to that of the Monroe piercing but there is no particular placement. Basically, if it is not localized for a Monroe piercing, then it is just a standard labret piercing.

The next sub-section of the labret piercing are the vertical labrets. The vertical labrets go in at the center of the lower lips and then come out just at the lower edge of the jaw line. This type of piercing should not be confused with the mandible piercing which goes behind the teeth and out the bottom.

Next you have the horizontal piercing which goes in at one point of the lips and out at another point. These are fairly rare piercing and they involve two piercing instead of one.

Lip piercing can also be done in sets which are known as bites. In the bites style of lip piercing, there are usually two piercing and two studs on opposite sides of the lips. When these pairs of piercing are on the upper lip they are known as angelbites whereas when they are located on the lower lips they are most commonly referred to as snakebites. There is also the venombites in which the lower lips piercing are located close together. You also have the caninebites in which a angelbite piercing is combined with a snakebite piercing but rather than using 4 studs, the upper piercing holes are studded to the lower holes. Finally there is the spiderbites which places three piercing, one in the center and two off to either side in equal distances from the first.

Lip Piercing Risks

When it comes to the lip piercing, there are some potential hazards to realize prior to undergoing the piercing aside from the standard complications associated with piercings. With the lip piercing, there is the potential of damage occurring to both the teeth and the gums. The biggest issues of course have to deal with the potential of damage to the teeth. All too often lip piercing results in chipped teeth as a result of the natural inclination to play with the jewelry with your teeth. This is usually more or less a subconscious reaction to the foreign object inside of the mouth.

Furthermore, as with any type of body piercing, there is a chance of having an allergic reaction to both the cleaning products which were used to sanitize the jewelry as well as keeping the piercing clean as well as a reaction to the metal used in the jewelry. In most cases this allergic reaction to the jewelry can be prevented by simply making sure that you use the higher quality jewelry that does not contain any nickel.

There may be the possibility of drying out the pierced area as a result of swimming and the piercing’s interaction with the chlorine in the pool. While this may not seem very important at first, in the end it can result in the tissue surrounding the piercing to become weakened allowing the jewelry to be torn out easier. No one wants to have a piercing torn out so take precautions prior to jumping in the pool while the piercing is still healing

Assuming that you are visiting a creditable and professional piercing technician, the chances of a bacterial infection can be greatly reduced, but is still a potential risk associated with the piercing. Also make sure that during the healing process you keep away from swimming in natural lakes, rivers, ponds and the ocean as a means of preventing a possible parasitic infection.

There will also be the possibility of excessive scar tissue forming around the piercing as well as the potential of keloids. Keloids are basically scars that form deep beneath the layers of skin and do not always have to appear directly at the piercing location but can occur anywhere within the general location of the piercing.

On of the bigger risks associated with lip piercings are those surrounding the potential of damage to the gums. In some cases a lip piercing has be attributed to the erosion of the gum line and in very rare occasions this gum line erosion has resulted in teeth simply falling out because they are lacking the gum tissue to hold them in place.

Above all, just make sure that the piercing technician is qualified and that everything has been well cleaned between uses or even better that everything is disposable. After all of this, make sure that during the entire recovery process you make sure to keep the piercing locations clean with antiseptics and saline solutions.
