Lip piercings are a bold and stylish way to express your individuality. With various placements and styles, from subtle studs to statement rings, there’s something for everyone. Here's everything you need to know about lip piercings:

Types of Lip Piercings:

1. Labret Piercing: Located just below the bottom lip, centered in the middle.
2. Monroe/Madonna Piercing: Placed on the upper lip, either to the left (Monroe) or right (Madonna), resembling a beauty mark.
3. Medusa Piercing: Positioned in the philtrum, the groove just above the upper lip.
4. Vertical Labret: Pierced through the bottom lip, with both ends visible.

The Procedure:

A professional piercer uses a sterilized needle to create the piercing, followed by the insertion of the chosen jewelry, typically a labret stud or captive bead ring. The process is relatively quick, but care should be taken to ensure cleanliness and precision.

Healing Time:

Lip piercings generally take 6 to 8 weeks to heal, though this can vary depending on the specific piercing and your aftercare routine.

Aftercare:

Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and ensure a smooth healing process. Here are some key tips:

• Clean Regularly: Use a saline solution to rinse the piercing 2-3 times daily. Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes, as they can dry out the area.
• Avoid Irritation: Refrain from playing with the jewelry or touching the piercing with unclean hands.
• Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth regularly, but gently around the piercing.
• Be Mindful of Foods: Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods during the healing period, as they can cause discomfort.

Choosing Jewelry:

Starting with hypoallergenic materials such as titanium or surgical steel is recommended to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Once the piercing has fully healed, you can explore a variety of jewelry options, including our gold collection.
