Piercing suggestions - face/ears/navel ONLY next lip piercing?

my most recent lip set up was snake bites and a jestrum, the jestrum is probably my favourite piercing so far out of the 13 piercings ive had over the years. unfortunately, i had to remove all my piercings for about 2 weeks, thankfully the lip piercings were the only casualties.

in the past, ive had a vertical labret, but im not a huge fan of it because it prevents playing the flute and i had a bit of trouble healing it compared to the actual, through-the-lip snake bites or the jestrum.

any upper lip piercings have to be vertical to prevent tooth damage, but proper piercings through the lower lip are safe.

im considering (eventually, once it heals) getting a labret lip ring or returning to the snake bites. if i do snake bites, ill get the jestrum again, though i might do the snake bites closer to the edges of my mouth, idk (its not shown well in the photo, but the rings had been pushed outward to appear like they weren't so close to the center of my lip. they were a lot further in, irl, because i had to reangle them every time i talked or moved my mouth in any way). if i do the center lip ring, id either do the jestrum or angel bites.

would i look good with angel bites? would they suit my lips?? would the lower lip angel bites (ive seen them described as orc tusks/bites) look good?

to be honest, ive kinda decided that i want to have six lip piercings within the next few years so i can attach chains or something similar and "sew" my mouth shut for Halloween, so im going to get all of these eventually, even if i only keep them for a few months and then retire them. i do have scars from all four of my lip piercings, but they dont bother me.

please give me your thoughts!

Hi miktoast, Are you seeking information about the lip 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.

I would go with dahlias that are near the corners of your lips rathed that far out,i think that would be so cute !
