Before getting a lip piercing, it is important to prepare:

• Choosing a Piercer: Trust the professionals at VEAN TATTOO, where only experienced piercers work. Ensure that the piercer uses sterile instruments and follows all sanitary standards.
• Consultation: Discuss all details with the piercer—from choosing jewelry to potential risks. This will help you feel confident and calm during the procedure.
• The Piercing Process: The actual piercing process takes just a few minutes. It is important to stay relaxed and follow the piercer's instructions.
• Choosing Jewelry: For the initial piercing, choose jewelry made from hypoallergenic materials such as titanium or surgical steel. They minimize the risk of irritation and allergies.

Proper care is the key to long-lasting and safe wear.

Here are a few simple yet important rules:

• Hygiene: Rinse the piercing with saline solution or antiseptic twice a day. Avoid using alcohol-based products as they can cause irritation.
• Avoid Contacts: Try not to touch the piercing with dirty hands. Avoid contact with cosmetics, especially in the first weeks after the procedure.
• Food Restrictions: In the first few days, avoid spicy, salty, and hot food. Drink through a straw to minimize contact with the jewelry.
• Regular Cleaning: Brush your teeth after every meal and use an antiseptic mouthwash. This helps to avoid infection and speed up the healing process.
• Check the Jewelry: Regularly check that the jewelry is securely fastened but not too tight. This will prevent it from being accidentally lost and help avoid injuries.

Care and Safety

Lip piercing requires careful care to prevent infections and complications. It is important to follow the specialist's recommendations for piercing care and use quality materials. Maintain hygiene, regularly rinse the piercing with a special solution, and avoid aggressive chemicals.

• Is it painful? The level of pain during lip piercing depends on individual sensitivity. Many people describe it as a quick pinch or insect bite.
• Can the jewelry be removed? It is not recommended to remove the jewelry in the first weeks after the piercing, as this can lead to the channel closing and infection. It is better to consult with the piercer before any manipulations.
• What jewelry is best to use? It is recommended to use jewelry made from hypoallergenic materials such as titanium or surgical steel to avoid allergic reactions and speed up healing.
• Titanium: One of the most popular and recommended materials. It is hypoallergenic, resistant to corrosion, and has high strength, making it ideal for initial piercing and long-term wear. Titanium jewelry does not cause allergic reactions and heals quickly, making it the perfect choice for primary piercings.
