Thinking about getting angel fangs? 🩸 Here is everything you need to know about this ultra-edgy piercing trend.
Unlike traditional lip piercings, angel fangs are a paired set of vertical upper lip piercings. They enter the skin just above your top lip and exit directly through the lip tissue itself, using curved barbells to create that distinct, vampiric aesthetic.
Here is why they are taking over:
• Zero Dental Damage: Because they stay entirely on the outside of your lips, the metal never touches your teeth or gums—meaning zero risk of chipped enamel or gum recession.
• Healing Window: Lip tissue has amazing blood flow, meaning they usually heal relatively quickly in about 2 to 4 months.
• Anatomy Dependent: They require a specific amount of natural tissue volume on the upper lip to sit securely, so a professional consultation is a must.
• The Catch: Because they are vertical surface piercings in a highly mobile area, they do carry a higher risk of snagging and migration if you aren’t careful while eating or getting dressed.
