With this type of piercing, the ornament is placed externally on the lower lip (encompassing the entire lip), under the lower lip, or above the upper lip. However, it is very important to choose an anatomically optimal location so that wearing the jewellery is a pleasure rather than discomfort. Ideal jewellery for Labret Piercing includes rings, horseshoes, and labrets.
The vertical lip piercing, also known as an Eskimo piercing, starts below the lower lip and ends in the middle of the lower lip. The advantage of this piercing is that there is no disc inside the mouth, as in a normal Labret. Interestingly, this piercing originated as a result of an error made by the person performing the procedure.
