Perhaps this is why they never go out of style; in every decade, there&#8217;s a new piercing trend that takes the fashion world by storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, lip piercings have found new strides in fashion. There are around 17 lip piercing types, and many of these can be customized. Whether you crave bold and beautiful looks, or simple and understated styles, there&#8217;s a lip piercing for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to lip piercings, you&#8217;re spoiled for choice. Here is a list of lip piercing types, healing times, and the jewelry that each type prefers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ashley piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with Ashley piercing\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-Ashley-piercing-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most lip piercings pierce the skin surrounding the lips, the Ashley piercing pierces the lip itself. Its entry point sits at the center of your bottom lip with an exit point directly behind, inside your mouth. This piercing looks fantastic when decorated with a dainty gemstone and surrounded by a bright lipstick color. Keep in mind, however, that you&#8217;ll have to forego the lip color until your piercing has fully healed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashley piercing healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 4 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ashley piercing can only wear jewelry with a straight post with a flat backing. The flat disc backing sits flush with your lip and won\u2019t rub against your teeth and gums like other backing types might. You can choose different charms and gemstones for your labret studs or stick with a simple ball end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The angel bites piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This double piercing combines the Madonna and Monroe lip piercing styles. The angel bites piercing features symmetrical piercings above the upper lip. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose to have the piercings done closer together or farther apart. Most commonly, each piercing is placed about halfway between the edge and the center of the lip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The angel bites piercing only accepts two flat disc labret studs. You can go for the classic ball end look, or have fun with gemstones and charms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The canine bite piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The canine bite piercing features four piercings in one. A combination of the angel bite and snake bite styles, the canine bite piercing consists of two piercings placed symmetrically above the upper lip and two piercings placed symmetrically below the lower lip. The piercings are placed roughly where your canine teeth are located, hence the name.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upper lip: 2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lower lip: 6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With four different piercings to play with, you can have a lot of fun with the jewelry in the canine bite piercing. While the upper lip can only accept flat-back, straight-post jewelry pieces, the lower lip can accept various hoop and circular barbell styles as well. Have some fun by playing around with different jewelry looks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cyber bites piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combination of the labret and Medusa piercings, the cyber bites piercing showcases one piercing centrally located above the upper lip and one piercing centrally located below the lower lip. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upper lip: 2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lower lip: 6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll likely see flat disc back labret studs as the most common jewelry for the cyber bites piercing. Some choose to go for a flat-back, straight-post piece in the top piercing with a seamless hoop or captive bead ring in the bottom piercing. For a similar aesthetic as a captive bead ring, you can also choose circular barbells, which are shaped like horseshoes with small beads at each end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dahlia piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With macabre roots, the Dahlia piercing is named after the infamous Black Dahlia, an actress who was found with a smile carved into her face. (If this name is too dark for you, the piercing is sometimes referred to as the Joker piercing.) It\u2019s characterized by two piercings placed at the edges of your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dahlia piercing takes flat disc labret studs. Most choose small beads or gemstones as their decoration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dolphin bite piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meant to emulate the narrow muzzle of a dolphin, the dolphin bite piercing consists of two piercings placed closely together and centrally located beneath the lower lip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since this piercing is located in the center of the lip, many prefer small straight-post jewelry with a flat disc backing. Most often, people with this piercing opt for a simple beaded end, but you can find small gemstones or charms as well. Two seamless hoops that sit flush against the lip are becoming a popular trend, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jestrum piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Jestrum piercing (also called the vertical Medusa) consists of only one puncture, it offers a double-pierced look. It features an entrance point centrally located above the upper lip (where the Medusa piercing takes place) and an exit point toward the bottom of the lip itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the jewelry needs to connect the entrance and exit holes, you\u2019ll have to stick with curved barbells (body jewelry pieces with a slightly curved barbell and beads at either end). Choose different ball ends to customize the look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The labret piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_22344\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22344\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with labret piercing decorated with hoop\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-labret-piercing-decorated-with-hoop-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/ko\/@naumv?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Victoria Naumenko<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercings?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centrally located beneath the lower lip, the labret piercing is one of the more popular lip piercing styles, and it can also be decorated with tons of jewelry varieties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The labret piercing can be decorated with a wide variety of jewelry types. Jewelry with a straight post and flat disc back offers a subtler look. For bolder options, you can opt for captive bead rings or seamless hoops. Circular barbells offer a similar look to the hoop style, but the two beads at the end help the labret piercing to pop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lowbret piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only difference between the labret piercing and the lowbret piercing is that the lowbret piercing is located as far down as your anatomy allows. It often sits in the curve between your lips and your chin. Often, those who wish to stretch their labret piercing after healing opt for the lowbret piercing option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the lowbret sits so low, you\u2019ll be pretty much limited to a flat disc labret stud. If you get this piercing type, pay attention to how the jewelry sits. If it scrapes against your teeth or gums, it should be retired.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Madonna piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspired by Madonna\u2019s beauty mark, the Madonna piercing is located above the upper lip to the right. The exact location depends upon your personal preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since this piercing type is inspired by a beauty mark, a straight-post jewelry piece with a flat backing is the only jewelry style for the Madonna piercing. You can also choose flashy gemstones or cute charms for a more individual look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Medusa (philtrum) piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_22338\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-a-medusa-piercing.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with a medusa piercing\" width=\"1000\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-a-medusa-piercing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-a-medusa-piercing-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-a-medusa-piercing-768x636.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-a-medusa-piercing-600x497.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@airamdatoon?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Airam Dato-on<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercings?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located above the lip, directly centered, the Medusa piercing sits where your lip shape turns downward (the philtrum), accentuating the shape of your mouth. This piercing looks stunning for those with unique lip shapes or those who want to draw attention to their lips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Medusa piercing can only wear jewelry with a flat disc back. Have some fun with unique charms and gemstones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Monroe piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meant to emulate the late, great Marilyn Monroe\u2019s beauty mark, the Monroe piercing is located above the upper lip, to the left.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; 3 months<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should wear a jewelry piece with a flat back in your Monroe piercing. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shark bite piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shark bite piercing is really a combination of two spider bite piercings. This quadruple piercing consists of two piercings located closely together beneath the lower lip on both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s meant to resemble the stacked teeth of a shark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many piercings, the shark bite piercing allows for creativity. Labret studs, seamless hoops, captive bead rings, and circular barbells are all popular jewelry choices. Many like to mix and match their jewelry options as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The side labret piercing<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_22342\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22342\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-side-labret-piercing.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with side labret piercing\" width=\"1000\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-side-labret-piercing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-side-labret-piercing-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-side-labret-piercing-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Woman-with-side-labret-piercing-600x433.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@victorduenas?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Victor Due\u00f1as Teixeira<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercings?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The side labret piercing is simple: one piercing located beneath the bottom lip to either the right or left of center, depending on your preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 &#8211; 8 weeks<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred jewelry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a subtler look, go for labret studs or slim seamless hoops.

The beads on either end will sit flush with your skin, creating a double-pierced look. Many choose curved barbells with a bead at the top end and a charm at the bottom end, which helps to encourage double-pierced aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I shorten my lip piercing healing times?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healing any piercing depends on your adherence to aftercare and your body&#8217;s ability to heal itself. To set your piercing up for success, make sure that you are cleaning the front and back of your piercing daily, practicing excellent oral hygiene, and try to move your mouth and your jewelry as little as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you clean your new piercing 2 &#8211; 3 times daily with saline solution, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NeilMed Piercing Aftercare<\/a>. Saline solution only uses ingredients found naturally in your body, so it works with your body\u2019s natural healing process in order to clean the area and promote healing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also important to note that if you opt to get multiple lip piercings in one sitting, it may affect your healing times. Taking care of multiple piercings at once is more difficult, and if one piercing becomes inflamed, it could cause the others to become inflamed, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/can-i-get-multiple-piercings-at-once-a-guide-to-planning-your-piercings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more information about getting multiple piercings at once, read our blog here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lip piercings are one of the hottest trends in the piercing world. Don\u2019t limit yourself to side labret styles. With so many lip piercing types, you\u2019re bound to find the right look for you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you go to your piercer to ask for a lip piercing, you should know the lip piercing types so that you can ask informed questions.
