FACIAL PIERCING: THE ESSENTIALS
Eyebrow, labret, medusa, monroe, vertical lip, paired lip and cheek placements interact with different tissue—and some also interact with teeth and gums. Every appointment begins with an in-person suitability and placement assessment.
We use a fresh sterile single-use needle and offer titanium as the standard starter option. For oral and lip-area piercings, we also explain swelling room, downsizing and the importance of minimizing jewelry contact with teeth and gums.
PLACEMENT BEFORE PIERCING
A good mark is reviewed at rest and in natural movement. For lip and cheek placements, the inside of the mouth matters as much as the outside view, including where a backing may meet teeth or gums.
WHAT WE CHECK IN PERSON
A photo can show the style you like. It cannot replace a live tissue and oral-anatomy assessment.
The angle and jewelry length are planned around tissue depth, expression and an honest discussion of migration risk.
Centered or offset placements are balanced from the outside and checked for a neutral position inside the mouth.
Traditional labrets interact with the mouth; vertical styles use different tissue and remain anatomy-dependent.
Symmetry, swelling and the healing load are considered before planning two or more placements.
These options need careful anatomy review, realistic healing expectations and clear discussion of migration or oral-structure risks.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
A clear conversation, approved placement and aftercare specific to the tissue involved.
Tell us your preferred look, dental history, braces or retainers, work needs, previous piercings and travel plans.
Choose from suitable titanium and premium options. We mark the outside and, where relevant, evaluate the inside position and movement.
A new sterile single-use needle is opened for your procedure. The piercing is quick; preparation and precision take longer.
We explain external or oral cleaning, swelling, eating, makeup, pressure, downsizing and when to seek studio or healthcare support.
CLEAR STARTING PRICES
Every listed starting price includes the piercing and standard titanium starter jewelry. Your total is confirmed before the procedure.
Ask about today's jewelryPremium, gold-toned, gem-set or multi-piece jewelry may cost more. Current availability and exact totals are confirmed at the studio.
STARTER JEWELRY
Begin with a visual direction: clean titanium, a centered gem, a paired look or warm-toned detail. Your piercer narrows the choice to jewelry suited to the placement, swelling and fresh tissue.
These original editorial visuals were created for Chill Ink to illustrate style directions. They are not live inventory or a guarantee of availability; suitable pieces and current stock are confirmed in the studio.

Healing varies by tissue. Lip placements commonly need around 2–3 months or longer, bridge around 3–4 months or longer, and cheek around 6–9 months or longer. Swelling and jewelry fit must be monitored, especially for oral placements.
Localized tenderness or swelling can occur. Oral placements may swell more for several days; follow the specific external and internal care instructions.
Avoid playing with jewelry. For lip piercings, eat carefully and keep the inside and outside routines separate as instructed.
Initial posts allow swelling room. A qualified piercer should assess shortening so excess length does not keep contacting teeth, gums or surrounding tissue.
A piercing can look calm before it is strong inside. Do not swap jewelry yourself during healing; ask for a placement-specific assessment.
