Some information on the Smiley piercing

The Smiley is a piercing made on the labial frenulum which is located in the center under your upper gum:

It is a thin membrane, so you have to be careful about the weight of the jewelry you put in it, it doesn't seem like much in your hand but in the medium/long term a piece of jewelry that is too heavy can cause the frenulum to tear.

Don't panic, it's not very serious, but once it's torn, you won't be able to get a piercing on it.

We all have different body shapes, and some people can't get a smiley face piercing, for example, if the frenulum is too short or poorly positioned. The easiest way to do this is to stop by the shop whenever you want to have it checked before making an appointment.

This is a very discreet piercing, which is only supposed to be visible when you smile (hence the name, well seen Sherlock) but as with any oral piercing:

Watch your teeth!

The choice of jewelry is really essential so that the piercing holds well and so that there is no impact on your teeth or your gums on a daily basis. We strongly advise against putting gold jewelry in this location because it can cause an unpleasant taste in the mouth, we recommend a good quality titanium jewelry.

Contrary to popular belief, it is a very painless piercing with easy and simple healing.

However, you will need to be careful not to have oral/genital intercourse for 1 month after the piercing, as well as the consumption of alcohol, drugs or tobacco ideally. No special care is required other than brushing after each meal for the first few weeks.
