To define, the lip piercing is a perforation of one of the lips or somewhere around the mouth for inserting and wearing jewelry. It has its origin in ancient tribal cultures, where each piece of jewelry and its location had certain meaning. It was mostly of some religious significance. It also indicated men of the highest castes (for example, it was widely practiced among Aztecs and Mayas who wore labrets of pure gold shaped like serpents with precious stones and others). Sometimes if a young girl had her lip pierced, it showed that she had been already engaged.

But of course one of the lip piercing most prominent function was, still is and surely will be decorating and adorning oneself. This fact explains a rising fashion for the lip piercing in the contemporary society as this kind of facial piercings is considered the most sexy and attractive with men and women equally. In spite of different rumors none of the lip piercing types has any hint on sexual likes.

It is reasonable to think thoroughly over the lip piercing jewelry to choose as there are lots of the lip piercing types depending on their position around the mouth. Each one is able to change your face expression in some way and add something new to your style. So, let’s take a look over the most common lip piercing variations.

A labret piercing is a puncture done below the lower lip center (near the lip edge or further down). Technically the correct name of this modification is "a center lip piercing" and "labret" is a piece of jewelry. But many people refer to the location when saying "labret piercing" and not to the jewelry item. A vertical labret piercing is its variation. Labret studs, captive bead rings and circular barbells are used for the labret punctures.

The two types of the single lip piercing done on the side of the upper lip are similar. They are a Madonna piercing and a Monroe piercing. They differ only in that the Madonna perforation is placed up on the right-hand side and the Monroe puncture is worn on the left-hand side. In both cases people prefer to use labret studs imitating a natural beauty mark.

A side lip piercing is the same as the Madonna and Monroe piercings, but occurs on the left or right side of the lower lip. Labret studs, captive bead rings and circular barbells can be worn in the side lip piercing.

A medusa piercing is also known as a philtrum piercing because it is placed in the vertical groove just above the upper lip center which is called "a philtrum". It is really important to perform this puncture carefully and correctly in order to save the symmetry of the face. Labret studs are inserted into the medusa piercing.

Bites are sets of two or four piercings where labret studs, captive bead rings and circular barbells can be worn. There is a great number of bites because of their different placement combinations. Snake bites, spider bites, angel bites, shark bites are only the few of them.
