Lip Piercings

A lip piercing is a type of body piercing that penetrates the lips or the area surrounding the lips, which can be pierced in a variety of ways. Initial jewelry used for lip piercings are labret stud or cbr's. It usually takes about 1-3 months for it to heal.


Soaking the wound for three to five minutes with a weak saline solution softens any blood and lymph discharge attached to the jewelry. Using a cotton swab (cotton buds) removes excess matter from the site. Afterward, one should slowly turn the jewelry through the piercing, rinse with saline solution to flush the inside of the wound and remove any matter remaining in and around the piercing. Diluted mouthwash can also be used after meals to help remove debris and flush the piercing and is recommended by some practitioners.

Lip piercings can be placed anywhere around the mouth, but the surface of the lip is not typically pierced itself, except for horizontal lip piercings and canine bites. Piercings in specific positions have certain names. The Monroe.

  1. Before venturing out and piercing your lip it's a good idea to know what you're in for and how to properly care for your new piercing.
