Vertical labrate piercing: Similar to and quite different from labrate piercing, vertical labret piercing is named after it, which is carried out vertically from one end of the standard labrate piercing area and penetrates between the lips.
Hardware: A barbell or CBR with the 18G to 14G range is common, although larger gauges may be worn with this piercing.
Healing: Vertical labrate piercing may take 8 to 10 weeks to fully recover.
Ashley Piercing: An adaptation of Vertical Labrette, Ashley Piercing is upside down, meaning that the piercing's exit hole is placed inside the mouth, which is only the entrance through the lips.
Hardware: Bent barbels or CBRs with thicknesses from 18G to 14G are common, although larger gauges may be worn with this piercing.
Healing: Similar to the vertical labrate, the healing time for Ashley piercing can take 8 to 10 weeks.
Jestrum Piercing: Just above the center top lip and exiting the center of the top lip, Jestrum piercing is basically the reverse of vertical labrum.
Hardware: Like the vertical Labret, Jestrum piercings are an ideal fit for curved barbells or CBRs within the 18G to 14G range, although larger gauges can be worn with this piercing.
Healing: The estimated treatment time in a Jestrum-style procedure will be 8 to 10 weeks.
Dahlia Piercing: Placed at the corners of the mouth, dahlia piercing is usually performed in pairs, although a single piercing offers a unique alternative.
Hardware: The most commonly used body jewelry for Dahlia piercing are labret studs with beaded loops, but you can opt for gems or charms for a more personal look.
Healing: The healing process for Dahlia Piercing can be from 3 to 10 weeks depending on care.
Snake bite: The snake bite hole is named to represent the pointy mark. This double piercing consists of a pair of symmetrically placed piercings below the lower lip towards the sides of the mouth. Essentially, the snake bite has two sides pierced, placed on either side of the mouth.
Hardware: Captive bead rings (CBRs), seamless rings, circular or curved barbells, hoops and labret studs are the most common jewelry types for snake piercing.
Healing: The estimated time to pierce a snake bite is 1 to 3 months.
Angel Bites Piercing: Almost identical to snake bite piercing, one angel cuts each side of the upper lip.
Hardware: 18G to 14G lip studs with a simple bead or gemstone are the most common jewelry options. However, like piercing on snake bites, you can opt for hoop styles, such as captive bead rings or seamless rings.
Healing: The average time frame for angel bites is 4 to 12 weeks.
Bites of Dolphin Bites: Centered on the lower lip, dolphin bites are somewhat similar to snake bite holes, only very close together.
Hardware: With close piercing proximity, dolphin bites can disturb 18G, 16G and even 14G jewelry. Styles include labret studs with a smaller beaded or gemstone, or less commonly, but no less stylish-hoop style like CBR or seamless ring.
Healing: Like other "bites", this style of piercing takes about 1 to 3 months to heal.
