Vertical labret
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Vertical labret is a lip piercing going vertically (as opposed to horizontally) through the lower lip, such that both ends of the barbell are visible. This is not the same as a typical labret (or lip) piercing, where one end of the barbell or stud is outside the mouth between the lower lip and chin, and the other end is inside the mouth.
The T in the word "labret" is pronounced, as "labret" is not a French word.
According to a BME Zine article, the vertical labret came about as a result of a normal labret that went wrong, such that both ends of the piercing barbell were visible, and the "vertical labret" became popular.
