* Traditional lip piercings (like snake bites, spider bites, etc.): These go *through* the lip.
* Microdermals: While not as common in the exact same location as traditional snake bites, they could be placed near the lip.
Things to keep in mind:
* Placement Considerations: The precise placement is crucial to avoid damaging teeth and gums.
* Healing: Lip piercings and microdermals in that area are prone to infection and can affect eating, talking, and other everyday activities.
I strongly recommend consulting with a reputable piercer. They can assess your anatomy and discuss the pros and cons of each type of piercing in that location.
