An Ashley piercing is a type of lip piercing that goes directly through the center of the bottom lip, exiting through the back of the lip into the mouth. It is also known as the inverse vertical labret. The piercing is typically done with a labret stud, which has a small ball, charm, or jewel that sits on the lip and a flat circular plate that sits in the mouth. The Ashley piercing is unique and attention-grabbing, and it can be customized with a variety of jewelry options like studs, rings, or even barbells. However, it is not suitable for everyone, and your anatomy must align with the piercing for it to be successful. The piercing is relatively easy in terms of pain, and most people report mid-level discomfort that goes away quickly. The healing process can take 2-3 months to fully heal, and it is important to follow proper aftercare practices to avoid complications.
