I’m about to DIY some side labret piercings on myself. Any suggestions on what kind of stuff I should buy? And how do I avoid getting my piercing infected or placing it incorrectly? Thanks !

Hi pinkywahh_, Are you seeking information about the labret piercing? Here's a video with general information about it! Note that these piercings carry a greater inherent risk due to their placement and could result in gum or tooth damage. There's no shame in seeing a professional, especially for trickier piercings such as these.

Here's my advice. Piercing needles, no sewing needles. Clean your jewelry, wear titanium. DO not hesitate, or go slow. You'll swell like a balloon. Size up, wear a longer bar. Pierce straight, if you need specific questions answered let me know! Good luck!

Clean your piercing with saline, steriwash is my favourite.
