    I'm thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure. Will it damage your teeth and if so is there a way of avoiding that? How much are they usually and wheres the best place to get it done? Also, does it do anything to like the skin around the piercing? :D

    It could do minor damage but you could get a plastic bar put in to avoid that. That will be extra. Another way of avoiding that is getting a Vertical Labret done.

    Around €45 give or take €5. Best place; Snakebite, Bodyshock and Wildcat. You have to be 16 or 17 to get it done.

    If you treat it properly there will only be a hole where the piercing is.

    had a labaret done years ago and it started wearing away my gun on my bottom teeth. this doesnt happen to everyone and it was a very large piece of jewellry and i didnt have the plastic one

    I took it out after a while and got a lip ring instead which i have had now for about 6 or 7 years and no problems (except i cant stop playing with it)

    try it, any problems then remove it, simple as that
    Other peoples "horror" stories wont necessarily be your own..

    I've had mine going 3 years strong now. I love it. I got mine done in Galway (Irish Ink) and it never caused me problems. Funnily enough (and people might not believe this) but I left it out for 3 weeks there, and when I bought a new bar it just slid in.. my gums are fine, but I've really good dental hygiene.

    i have mine done for about 5 years the only prob its done to my teeth is because i mess with it and noting noticable to my teeth or infact my dentest! took it out for about a year and just put it back in a couple of months ago! nice to take a break from it! it didnt close up tho maybe a little but i got the bar back trew with no pain just a little push! only thing is when you take it out eventually it does leave a small scar only tiny my sister had it done but has had it out for a good 6 years but she has a tiny pin sized scar where it used to be but you wouldnt even notice unless you where looking!!! :D
    but i love it i had the side of my lip done also but took that out it closed up much faster then the middle!

    Sorry guys, cancel my previous post. I'm a dummy; I've my tongue web pierced, not my labaret, and I don't know how I managed to get this confused as to post in this thread.

    i've had mine done for around 3 years now, constantly had it in and bar the once off swallowing accident ive never had any trouble! I've read of a few complaints and gum trouble but personally its never been a problem for me..i suppose it depends on the positioning of the piercing and individuals mouth.

    What I found helps if the jewellery irritates your gums is orthodontic wax. It's literally just a little block of wax that you soften by rubbing between your fingers and stick onto the back of the piercing (or its original intended use - on braces!) and it makes it soft instead of hard/hurty.
