About lip piercing
Lip piercing describes several possible positions around the mouth, so it helps to bring a clear reference or explain exactly where you want the jewellery to sit. A conventional lip piercing connects an external opening with an opening inside the mouth. Position affects both the visible look and how the jewellery sits internally. The general lip service is distinct from separately listed placements such as medusa, vertical labret, cheek and dahlia piercings. Confirm the correct service with the team if the name used in your reference is unfamiliar or describes multiple piercings.
Is this placement right for you?
Consider the practical side of eating, brushing your teeth and speaking with new jewellery. Jewellery that contacts teeth or gums needs attention, making appropriate fit and follow-up important parts of planning an oral piercing. Let the piercer know about braces, retainers or other dental appliances before choosing a placement. Avoid building an appointment around a deadline for fully settled jewellery: healing varies. The advertised lip piercing price is €30; named placements and paired arrangements may have their own prices, so confirm your intended design when booking.
Jewellery and what is included
A suitable labret-style piece has a decorative outer end and a backing inside the mouth. Its initial fit may differ from the final fit once swelling settles. Ask about jewellery options and a professional downsize when appropriate. A ring may be a later styling choice rather than the initial recommendation.
Looking after your piercing
An oral lip piercing needs care inside the mouth and around its external opening. Maintain careful brushing and oral hygiene, avoid playing with the jewellery and follow the studio's advice on rinsing. Return for the recommended fit review rather than leaving an unnecessarily long post in place.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Lip Piercing: your questions
Does the €30 lip price cover every named lip placement?
No. The website lists lip piercing at €30 and gives separate prices for medusa, vertical labret, cheek and dahlia services. Tell the team the exact placement or show a reference so the correct service can be confirmed.
Why might lip jewellery need a shorter post later?
Initial jewellery may allow space for swelling. Once suitable, a professional downsize can improve the fit and reduce unnecessary contact and catching. Your piercer should assess when that change is appropriate.
How do I book and what should I bring?
Use our website booking page to select your piercing and an available appointment. Contact the studio to confirm age, ID and consent requirements for your chosen service before booking. You can also complete our consent form before your visit. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability.
