Lip frenulum piercings together with web piercings and other types of oral piercings are subtle and sophisticated. While some of them are easily seen when you smile or laugh, the other ones can be shown by choice. The element of surprise and the playfulness of oral piercings are mostly appreciated by the youngsters, but a smiley would look great on anyone! If you want to pierce your tongue or add more interesting piercings inside your mouth, you will definitely find inspiration below!
The pain factor
The lip frenulum, as well as the tongue frenulum is a thin tissue with high sensitivity. The good news is that piercing them will only take a second compared to other thicker body parts. Even so, because of the nerve endings found in there, you might experience greater pain that will only last for a few seconds. When it comes to tongue piercings, the pain will definitely be more acute due to its thickness and type of tissue. If you’re looking for a brighter side, think about how fast oral piercings heal! The tongue piercing will be healed in one month and the other ones really close to that too!
The cleaning routine
All oral piercings will swell and will not make you want to brush your teeth. However, you have to brush your teeth to keep bacteria away. Besides carefully brushing your teeth, it is recommended to wash your entire mouth with alcohol free mouthwash or with warm salt water twice per day. This routine should be consistently followed until your tissues are healed. Oral hygiene is highly important in general, not to mention for people who wear piercings. Upper lip frenulum piercings and lower lip frenulum piercings will touch your teeth, so proceed with care.
During the healing process, you should avoid alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and spicy food. There’s nothing sophisticated in an irritated frenulum. The sooner it heals, the better it will look and make you feel! As for kissing, I’m sure you know Frenching someone with a sore tongue is no breeze, so keep your germs for yourself for a while! Last but not least, make sure you choose comfortable jewelry! Here are some ideas to get you going!
1. Lip frenulum piercings or smiley piercings
The jewelry attached to the tissue that connects your lip to your teeth shows up when you smile, hence its name.
2. Skulls as double tongue piercings
Your tongue may look evil too! All you need are two skull straight barbells and two holes in it!

Not all types of jewelry is suited for web piercings. The curved barbells are the most recommended ones.

8. Rock that badass grim
Some spikes revealing themselves will not look friendly! Although that was a joke, spikes might hurt your teeth more than beads.
9. Tongue web decorated with a horseshoe ring
An oral piercing takes some getting used to, so at first you might not be able to rock horseshoe rings under your tongue.

Maybe you don’t want to show off your piercings and that’s okay. However, if you do, this is one perfect angle to take a snap!
11. Lip frenulum piercings touch your teeth
Your teeth coating might suffer changes during a long term wear. So, try to think of these piercings as temporary treats.
12. Glossy lips for shiny teeth and beads
White teeth should stand out and glossy lips make them shine. In addition, the smiley piercing attracts even more attention to them.
13. Creating symmetry in the tongue’s web
Oral piercings are usually symmetrical because they are placed in the middle section of the mouth.
14. Another reason to open wide
Oral piercings are visually appealing too, even if they are hidden most of the time.
15. Ring without beads for frenulum
The risk of accidentally removing your piercings is really high when they are not enclosed.
16. Avoid teeth problems with a curved barbell
You can wear a curved barbell that isn’t big enough to get to your teeth, but it will no longer be easily seen when you smile.
17. Short barbell for tongue’s web
Since the frenulum is really thin, you can opt for short jewelry.

Guys have larger mouths, so they need larger jewelry as well.

26. Black and thick horseshoe ring
If you really want your scrumper to stand out, choose a thick jewel in black.

Gold is not the best material to wear in your mouth, but if that’s surgical steel colored in gold, you can wear it without problems!

The sight of the lower lip frenulum piercing isn’t pleasant. However, that’s how an inflamed area looks like. It will heal eventually.

Pay for professional services
Since not all oral piercings cost the same depending on their location and the salon’s location, you can expect between $30 and $80 for one. Most jewelry for lip frenulum piercings cost between $10 and $20 unless you pick fancy materials or designs for more than $250. However, you don’t have to include the price of the jewel in your initial costs, because piercing parlors use non-allergenic barbells or captive bead rings during the piercing process. Keep in mind that you also need mouthwash that contains no alcohol for the aftercare. Happy piercing!
