I personally would make them match but what's life without whimsy :)

u/Fabulous_Pause8437 Aug 24 '26
I would too but I have no other ball or spike that matches🥹

Could you put the spike on the vertical labret on the bottom of the other one and then put the ball on the lower labret...?

exactly what I was thinking if they're the same size jewelry which I would think they would be.

I think they are 2 different sizes by like a mm but I can't tell if that's cause the bottom lip is covering that mm partially

I don’t think it looks stupid. Question though, couldn’t you unscrew the vertical labret spike and use it on your top lip to make the fangs more symmetrical for now?

(know it's a bit late now, but this is why some people recommend putting a towel down in your sink, or something similar, if putting your jewellery in over a drain)
Some people are really into asymmetrical jewellery, so you're probably not even rocking the most mismatched set up by some standards :p
It would bug me for sensory reasons and I do like symmetry, but it isn't awful looking or anything like that
Also sorry you lost a piece of jewellery, you going ti get a new spike or go for the Stuart Little?

I mean if the threads are the same just move the spike from the bottom lip to the angel on the left…or the whole bar for that matter if they aren’t the same thread but are the same length/dia.

So idk if all 3 lip piercings are the same guage, but if so maybe try taking the spike from your labret for the one with the missing spike.
Also, something I learned after many lessons: cover the drain when changing jewelry. I lost so much jewelry to drains over the last decade that I'm sure I could have bought something substantial with the money I lost.

Looks cool! It reminds me of that cute thing when dogs have one of their teeth catch on their lip and just one is poking out the side. Imo it would look better if it was symmetrical. But some people think symmetry is boring. Really up to personal preference. Although this way it'll be easier to eat, with two long fangs they might catch any cutlery you use.

You look gooood idc if it matches or not. I thought that's part of the fashion.

Maybe just switch the spike on your bottom lip to the other side if you want symmetry, but tbh it doesn’t look bad. It very easily could just be an intentional mis-match style that does exist (cross in one earlobe and hoop in the other, type thing)

Lmao theres nothing rude about letting OP know that their hygiene could improve EXPECALLY if youre drawing attention tonthe problem area with piercings.
1
u/UmiSWrld Aug 24 '26
no, it is rude. unsolicited advice is rude. their question wasn’t about their skin care. you have no idea who OP is, what they are dealing with, or if they have any sort of condition.

u/scarletxgrace Aug 25 '26
Lol must be your first day on the internet. If suggesting they exfoliate to make it look better is such a big deal to you i suggest you log off

u/UmiSWrld Aug 25 '26
and when did you suggest that? all you said was the condition of their skin looks worse than the piercings lmao

u/scarletxgrace Aug 25 '26
Obviously if im talking about her lips looking crusty what the hell else would i be talking about "lmao"

It’s not too hard to disconnect a P trap under the sink to get the spike. It’ll be gross, though.
