The puncture process is as follows:

• The piercer disinfects the hands, the working surfaces and the tool. He/she also uses disposable gloves.
• With the help of a marker, the specialist indicates the point of future puncture, which agrees with the client.
• After treating a necessary zone with a disinfectant, the piercer creates a hole and places the jewelry in it.
• The last stage - consultation from the master and receiving further instructions on aftercare.
  
  

The most common accessories for lip piercing are:

• Segment rings capable of transforming into parts. This option greatly facilitates the process of removing and replacing the decoration.
• Bananas and micro bananas - products in the form of a curved rod with colorful balls along the edges.
• Classic earrings and carnations.
• Circulars. This accessory looks like a threaded ring.
• Labrets are designed to be versatile, just like the barbell. Instead of a rounded bead at the back of the earring, with labret earrings, you'll find a flat back, making them super comfortable.
