A lip piercing is a form of body modification where the skin or tissue of the lip is punctured to insert jewelry. The placement options for lip piercings are diverse, offering individuals a range of choices to suit their preferences and aesthetic goals. Common placements include:
1. Labret Piercing: Positioned in the center of the lower lip, typically perpendicular to the tissue.
2. Monroe Piercing: Located off-center on the upper lip, mimicking the appearance of a beauty mark.
3. Medusa Piercing: Placed in the philtrum, the indentation above the center of the upper lip.
4. Snake Bites: A pair of piercings placed symmetrically on either side of the lower lip.
