Introduction to Angel Bite Piercings

History:

The Angel Bite piercings, consist of two symmetrical piercings in the upper corners of the lips. Angel bites have a relatively short history, but have quickly become a popular choice for people who want to express their individual style.

Placement:

Angel bites are two labrets that are stung symmetrically above the upper lip border on the left and right on both sides. They are stung through the skin and muscle tissue with little distance to the outer edge of the lip.

Jewelry:

For Angel Bite piercings, labrets with a bar thickness of 1.2mm used. Depending on the position of the piercings, various other types of jewelry are also possible, including

• Labrets: Plug with ball or decoration at the front and flat back.
• Plug-in tabsPlug with ball or decoration at the front and flat back. In contrast to labrets, the attachment is pressed into the hollow rod.
• CBBs (Circular Barbells): Horseshoe-shaped rings in various sizes and designs, with balls or points.
• Clicker / Click segment rings: Round rings with decorations such as cubic zirconia, Swarovski, patterns, snakes, etc.
• InternalInternally threaded jewelry with decoration, shapes, patterns etc.

Healing time:

As with most labret piercings, the healing time for Angel Bite piercings is 8 weeks. In the first two weeks, swelling of the tissue is to be expected, which then subsides over the further healing period. The skin and muscle tissue in the upper lip heal relatively quickly, but it is still recommended to follow the Care instructions to follow.

As with any piercing, there are certain risks associated with angel bite piercings, such as infections, allergic reactions, inflammation, scarring and tooth and gum problems. To minimize these risks, it is essential to be pierced by a professional piercer and to use high-quality jewelry.
