Vertical Labret Piercing: A Comprehensive Guide
A vertical labret piercing is a unique and eye-catching facial piercing that has gained popularity in recent years. Located on the midline of the lower lip, this piercing runs vertically through the lip tissue, creating a dramatic and edgy look.
The vertical labret piercing is typically placed slightly above the natural curve of the lower lip, between the frenulum (the tissue that connects the lip to the gum) and the philtrum (the groove between the nose and the upper lip).
The vertical labret piercing is usually performed using a sterile piercing needle. The piercer will mark the desired placement on the lip and insert the needle perpendicularly through the tissue. The needle is then removed, and the piercing jewelry is inserted into the hole.
The most common type of jewelry used for vertical labret piercings is a labret stud. Labret studs are straight bars with a flat disc on one end and a ball or other decorative element on the other. Other types of jewelry that can be worn include rings, barbells, and horseshoes.
