I got quite an interesting story from Jeremiah at Akron Ink in Ohio.
“This is a picture of a customer of mine who wanted a cheek piercing. Her family would never allow it, but she wanted it so bad that she said to just pierce the inside.”
“I really wanted to do it, but didn’t have much hope that it would heal. I made a deal with her and told her I would give her her money back if she could get it to heal — she since has become a friend of mine, and, two years later, she still has it and its doing just fine. She says it’s pretty comfortable for the most part, but she can’t help but bite on it every once in awhile.
“These are the pictures of it healed! We just used a 14ga curved barbell, and we’re doin a dermal anchor next on the other side”
I have to admit, I’m really quite amazed as well this didn’t reject!

That’s a strange lip piercing.. it is in the middle of the fleshy part of the lip?

Amazing that it didn’t reject! I could imagine that she’s often biting down on the barbell ends…causing small chips in her teeth.
It’s always great to see a new and unsual piercing. Bravo I say!

I’m surprised it isnt red and half bitten off! I’ve got a bad habit of biting my inner cheeks

I love the idea and feeling of peircings in my mouth, but they always end up getting in my way or just annoying me, so I’ve retired quite a few. This is an interesting one, and one I know I could never keep myself.

I find it funny that she says her family would never allow her to have cheek piercing but yet she has a lip piercing?
Well anyways this just goes to prove that there’s always someone who can heal something unusual. As for me I’d end up biting the hell out of that.

winch – it looks like either a vertical labret or an ashley (inverse vertical labret).
I think I would have chomped that piercing out within a few days :/ good for her though! She should get to name it.

I’m impressed that she’s kept it so healthy looking for two years. I would be so afraid of chipping or cracking a tooth, of course, I have not-so-great teeth. She may have a magnificently strong set of choppers.

Or she simply could have waited a couple of years (until she went to college or moved out or whatever event ended or lessened the control her family had over her) and then got the piercing she actually wanted.

he didn’t say whether he returned the money back! ;p

it actually doesnt chip or crack the teeth (unless you get hit or bite down really hard) but it wears away the enamel slowly which degreades your teeth and leaves very unprotected which then leads to cracking after. my mums into dentistry 🙂

That cheek belongs to me. For the record I’d like to say that Jeremiah was a little confused as are a few other people. I NEVER wanted a traditional cheek piercing that went from the outside in. What I got is exactly what I wanted. It doesn’t get in the way when I’m eating. And my parents know about it, my mom told me I’m killing her slowly with all the weird piercings I come home with.

That’s so fucking awesome!
Props to her for healing it and keeping it so long!

That’s pretty insane. Further proof that some people get lucky and can heal anything 🙂

What I got is exactly what I wanted at the time. It’s not a big problem when I’m eating. And my parents know about it. Mom says I’m killing her slowly with all the weird piercings she keeps finding 🙂

If a surface piercing done with a curved barbell is going to heal anywhere, it’s definitely going to be a mucous membrane.
I wouldn’t have done it though…. the possible tooth damage isn’t worth it. And I know it’s not my place to decide what’s in the client’s best interest… but I can’t see tooth chipping/breaking and eventual decay as something anyone should put up with for a piercing.

WOW! That’s looking real good.

I’m not that surprised that it didn’t reject, mouths heal really well, but I am surprised she hasn’t chipped a tooth on it, I know I would, I accidentally bite the inside of my mouth all the time.
