How to Get a Labret Piercing

A labret piercing is generally a single piercing below the center of the lower lip, but it can also be done singly or in pairs to either side of the center. You can also have a labret piercing on the upper lip. A variation of the labret is a vertical labret piercing, in which the jewelry is visible both under the lower lip and on top of it.

Instructions

1

Choose the type of labret piercing you want. Browsing through images on websites like BMEzine can give you a good idea of the placement of jewelry for your labret piercing.

2

Find a piercing studio you trust. The labret is a common and easily healed piercing, so any piercing studio you feel good about is a fine place to get it done.

3

Prepare for your labret piercing by thoroughly brushing and flossing your teeth and using a mouthwash. Once you're at the piercing studio, you may be given mouthwash to rinse with before the piercing.

4

Tell your piercer exactly where you want your labret piercing. When she marks your lip for the piercing, check it carefully and ask her to remark it if it isn't perfect.

5

Close your eyes as the piercer prepares to pierce you. Seeing the needle that close might make you flinch, unless you're experienced with piercing.

6

Breathe in as the piercer prepares to push the needle through, and breathe out when the needle makes contact. Breathing in this way reduces the pain and makes you less likely to flinch or move suddenly. As the piercer inserts the jewelry, take a few deep, calming breaths.

7

Maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your labret piercing's healing period. The most common problem with healing is due to too little attention to brushing and flossing.
