==Types of labret piercings==

In contemporary styles, there are several different labret variations based on precisely where the piercing is positioned on the lower lip. These include a vertical labret (pierced with a [[Barbell (piercing)#Curved barbells|curved barbell]] through the top of the lower lip rather than in front of the lip tissue), snake bites (dual piercings close together reminiscent of fangs), spiderbites (dual piercings very close together on the same side of the face), and a lowbret, which is placed as low as possible toward the chin.<ref>[http://tattoos.lovetoknow.com/Labret_Piercing "Labret Piercing"], LoveToKnow Tattoos</ref>
The initial piercing is usually done at 1.2, 1.6 or 2.0&nbsp;mm diameter. After initial healing, the piercing can be (gradually) further stretched. Some people choose to stretch to sizes over 10&nbsp;mm, and the jewelry worn at these larger sizes is usually a round or oval 'labret plug'.
