Why Choose The FALL for Your Oral Piercing?

At The FALL, we believe an oral piercing is more than body adornment – it is a statement of personal style executed with precision and care.

First-timer or collector, you will be treated the same way – with straight answers and no upselling.

Prices

How Much Does an Oral Piercing Cost?

Pricing for a piercing in the mouth depends on the placement and the jewellery you choose, and most of our services sit in a fair mid-range bracket. We confirm the exact figure during your consultation, so you walk in knowing the number before you commit.

Our Oral Piercing Work

Have a look through our portfolio, and you will notice a pattern: clean entries, balanced placement, jewellery that sits the way it should. From understated single studs to bolder paired looks, our work reflects the care that goes into every appointment – and the variety of styles we are comfortable doing well.

Tongue Piercing
05/29/2026

A staple oral piercing, done properly. Midline, centred, and healed exactly as it should be — our piercers take the time to assess placement carefully before every tongue piercing we do. Paired here with a septum and nostril, it shows how oral work can sit comfortably as part of a larger collection.

Labret Piercing
04/04/2026

One of the most versatile lip placements we offer. Here, an off-centre labret sits just below the corner of the lip — positioned with the full face in mind, not just the mouth. Flat-back titanium for comfort and clean healing. Our team placed this one as part of a wider collection, and it lands exactly where it should.

Different Types of Oral Piercings

There is a lot of range here, which is part of the fun. The classic tongue piercing runs centrally through the tongue and is still one of the most requested placements we do. An under-tongue piercing – also called a tongue web or frenulum placement – passes through the thin band of tissue beneath the tongue for something quieter and more discreet.

The lip area is where things get really varied. A standard labret piercing sits just under the lower lip, while the vertical labret piercing passes upward so you see both ends on the lip itself. Any lip piercing can be centred or set off to one side as a side lip piercing for a more asymmetrical look. Paired placements like the spider bites piercing or snake bites give you that double-stud effect, and they sit in the same family as fang and angel bites styles.

Move up toward the philtrum, and you get the medusa piercing, set in the dip above the upper lip. The Ashley stud is its quieter cousin – a single visible end through the centre of the lower lip. For the bolder end of the spectrum, the snake-eyes piercing is placed horizontally near the tongue tip, in the same dramatic territory as a dahlia or cyber-style look. It is widely considered higher-risk, and our piercers will clearly explain the dental, gum, and mobility concerns. Each type carries its own personality, and your piercer will help you land on one that works with your features and your canine-to-canine smile.

Consultation & Placement

Every appointment starts with a proper consultation – no skipping it. This is where we make sure the piercing will look and heal right. Here is roughly how it goes:

  • Assessment. Your piercer looks closely at your oral anatomy – tissue, spacing, and natural symmetry.

  • Discussion. You settle on the style, jewellery material, and exact placement together.

  • Marking. We mark a reference point and hand you a mirror; nothing happens until you are happy with it.

  • Procedure. We use a sterile, single-use needle and complete the piercing with a quick, steady motion.

  • Review. We check the final position and walk you through aftercare before you head out.

Take the time here, and the rest tends to go smoothly.

Healing Time

Healing depends on the placement and on you. Tongue placements often start to feel settled within four to six weeks, with full healing sometimes taking closer to two months. Lip and labret-style placements generally need six to eight weeks, and the more involved positions ask for a bit more patience. Some swelling in the first few days is common, but severe swelling, trouble breathing, heavy bleeding, worsening pain, or signs of infection should prompt you to seek professional help. Resist swapping your jewellery early; handling the area before it is ready is the most common reason healing stalls. Pay attention to how things feel, keep any follow-up appointment, and reach out to us if redness, discharge, or discomfort stick around instead of improving.

Aftercare Tips

Truth: oral piercing aftercare matters more than anything else for a clean recovery. Inside the mouth, rinse with clean water or an alcohol-free, hydrogen-peroxide-free mouth rinse after meals and before bed; save sterile saline for the external part of lip-area piercings only. Keep brushing as usual, just gently around the jewellery. Skip spicy, acidic, and very hot foods early on, and give alcohol, tobacco, and shared cutlery a pass – they all invite bacteria you do not want near a fresh piercing. Try not to fidget with the jewellery; constant movement is hard on healing tissue. Cold water and a few ice chips can help with swelling and may also feel soothing. Stay consistent, be patient, and the piercing soon becomes something you barely think about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people describe it as a quick, sharp pinch rather than real pain. Our piercers work fast and precisely, and honestly, most clients are surprised by how brief the moment is.

Tongue placements often start to feel settled in four to six weeks, with full healing sometimes taking closer to two months; lip and labret-style placements tend to need six to eight. Your own healing speed depends on your health and how closely you stick to the aftercare.

Soft, cool, mild foods for the first few days. Steer clear of spicy, acidic, very hot, or crunchy things, and skip alcohol. Cold water and gentle meals make the early days a lot easier.

For oral aftercare, rinse inside the mouth with clean water or an alcohol-free, hydrogen peroxide-free mouth rinse after meals and before bed, and keep brushing gently around the jewellery. The main thing: leave the jewellery alone while it heals.

Correct placement, appropriate jewellery size, and follow-up appointments can reduce the risk of tooth and gum damage, but they cannot remove that risk entirely. Going to an experienced piercer and keeping your follow-ups makes a real difference for your teeth and gums over time.

Implant-grade titanium is the standard go-to – biocompatible, light, and easy on healing tissue. We carry other quality materials too, depending on what suits you.

It can, and quickly – sometimes within hours, especially before it is fully healed. If you want to keep the piercing, leave the jewellery in or check with us first.
