Lip piercing, often referred to as a 'lip piercing', is a type of body art in which a small object, such as a labret stud or curved barbell, is placed through the upper or lower lip. This piercing is a form of self-expression and can be a fashionable addition to one's aesthetic. It is important to note that lip piercings do carry certain health risks, and it is essential to follow proper aftercare instructions to ensure a successful healing process.
History
Lip piercings have been performed for thousands of years, with evidence of古代文明 such as the Mursi people of Ethiopia practicing lip plates. More recently, in the 1990s and early 2000s, lip piercings gained popularity among alternative and metal scenes, particularly lower lip piercings which became symbolic of a youthful and cool look.
