Liptril piercing?

Liptril is far from an official name, but when I saw this vertical labret that was pierced through a stretched labret, it instantly reminded me of  a septril piercing, and the word ‘liptril” popped into my head.

This creative piercing was done by Marea Vedge on her hubby Alan Vedge. As well as performing piercings this pair also runs Aesthetics custom jewelry company.

    Right, that’s the name, thanks! True, teeth damage, didn’t think about that one.. I’m also curious how it turns out

    Isn’t that the same as an “inversed vertical labret?” Just curious.

    Caleigh, what is usually referred to as an inversed/inverted vertical labret is the same as the ‘Ashley’ piercing Sean mentioned above.

    And I absolutely love this idea, and shocked I haven’t seen it before due to the growing amount of stretched labrets out there. I do love all the jewellery, too. And stretched philtrum <3

    damnit..
    I’ve had this in mind for about a year. (except with double stretched labrets.)
    But it seems this chap beat me to it.
    Well, kudos to him, and it looks as great as I imagined.
    I guess that’s what I get for procrastinating.

    Ps:
    Liptril is a great name. 🙂
    I was thinking of Trans-labret, though.

    Thanks, this was a fun piercing! I chose to pierce from inside the stretched fistula instead of an inverse lip for many reasons, including gum/teeth issues. But mainly for the jewelry to sit flush in the desired position, the jewelry angle would only work this way. Plus it is perpendicular to the tissue, going through as little tissue as possible. And still healing was a bit of a pain, there was a lot of swelling. Alan did down size for initial healing and changed jewelry several times to find the best fit. Healed he now wears an 18g 5/16″ titanium threadless barball (Neometal). The bottom bead has a small pocket it sits in freely and is very comfortable according to Alan.
    I don’t think this is a piercing for everyone. But maybe we will see more with so many lovely stretched labrets! If anyone has more questions about this piercing, I am happy to answer them in a pm. I like trans-labret 😉
