The
labret piercing is regularly confused with the lip piercing but
the two are totally different. A ring is usually unsuitable for
a labret piercing. Your choices are simple titanium, steel or
P.T.F.E. labret studs and your choice of accessory (spikes, gem
balls etc.) is one of personal taste, although we don't recommend
the use of spikes if you likely to cause yourself or others physical
damage in any personal pursuits or employment.
PTFE has proved to reduce inflammation and bedding at the initial
piercing stage and can be shortened to fit the piercing precisely
when the piercing has become fully healed (consult a professional
for advice on changing jewellery before the piercing is fully
healed).
The Madonna or Monroe piercing as it is sometimes known, shares
all of the above criteria, although body piercing nose studs are
sometimes worn in healed piercings. The length should be taken
from your original jewellery and adjusted accordingly (i.e. if
your jewellery is 1mm too long, when your face is relaxed, reduce
the size by 1mm) |
