Uvula Piercing

Uvula Piercing

The uvula is the small "punching bag" you see at the beginning of the throat, and, yes, it can and has been pierced.
Initially, it was intensely rare, but nowadays, it has been done by tons of piercers.

Uvula Piercing Placement

It is critical the piercing be placed as high up as feasible on the uvula since migration could be a significant problem. In addition, a lower placement can be tricky to "show off" in some people.

Tongue Web Piercing

Tongue Web Piercing

The tongue web piercing spent some time being comparatively rare, but given the undeniable fact that it is not usually plain, it's become amazingly common.

The tongue web piercing is done thru the webbing under the tongue.
The recovery process is relatively fast and is essentially trouble-free.
Care must be brought to clean it frequently as plaque builds up on it extremely swiftly. Tongue Web Piercing has no known historic foundation in either permanent piercing or ritual piercing and is thought to date to the early 1990s.

Tongue Piercing

Tongue Piercing

Tongue piercing is one of the most typical, well-liked, and easy-to-heal piercings out there. There are 2 standard reasons that might prevent you from getting your tongue pierced. First, are excessively notable veins on the base of the tongue. Often they can be evaded ( so you may wish to get a second opinion from a seasoned piercer if you're told no ), but there aren't common cases where it wouldn't be safe. The second thing that will make a tongue piercing tough ( or impossible ) is an excessively notable tongue web. If it is far too long and tight, you will not be ready to stick out your tongue, making it troublesome to pierce. Additionally, a piercing might painfully rub on the webbing.

Sprung Piercing

Sprung Piercing

This very deep piercing passes from slightly below the tongue ( within the jawline ), straight down, and out the bottom under the jaw. It requires a huge amount of time to fix and frequently "seeps" even a year or longer thereafter. Many piercers feel that because of the invasiveness of the sprung piercing, it need to be steered clear of. It is named "Sprung" after the first individual to get it done ( and publish that fact ), by the late Mick Noland.

Oral Piercing

Oral Piercing
Oral piercing is piercing in and round the mouth. Within the mouth, these include :

* Tongue piercing, including horizontal tongue piercing, tongue surface piercing and venom piercings.
* Tongue web piercing
* Smiley and Frowny piercings.
* Less usually, uvula piercing. Many oral piercings are essentially only "half oral" in that 1/2 of the piercing is within the mouth and the other half outside.

Vertical Labret Piercing

Vertical Labret Piercing

The vertical labret piercing's lower bead sits approximately where an ordinary labret would ( just under the lip ), but instead of passing straight thru to the interior of the mouth, it travels at an upward angle, with the upper exit being on the top or perhaps barely forward on the lower lip. The final result is that both beads are plain.

Higher Lip Frenulum Piercing

Higher Lip Frenulum Piercing

The higher lip frenulum piercing passes through the webbing underneath the center of the higher lip. The piercing heals terribly quickly and is comparatively painless.

It is best on somebody whose lips retract when they grin showing off the piercing as well as teeth and drawing attention to the grin. This piercing is susceptible to refusal and many of us find that they just "fall out" after around a year.
