For thousands or years, piercings of the lips and cheeks have been practiced
around the world. Within the last few years they have been gaining
popularity in today's modern society. Piercings of the lower lip
are favored especially the labret. If sized properly, a Captive Bead
Ring or Labret Stud can be worn. Like the tongue piercing, a larger
piece of jewelry must be worn during the initial stages of the healing
process to accomodate swelling.
