So what exactly is a smiley piercing? A smiley piercing is a type of lip piercing that is located on the upper gum line, directly above the center of the laugh line. This placement gives the appearance of a \u201csmiling\u201d lip when your mouth is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smiley piercings are generally less painful than other types of lip piercings because they do not go through as much tissue. However, every person experiences pain differently, so it is important to consult with your piercer beforehand to get an idea of what to expect. The healing process for a smiley piercing is also relatively quick and easy, as long as you take proper care of it. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about smiley piercings, from the initial piercing to the aftercare involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Placement of a Smiley Piercing:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned before, smiley piercings are placed on the upper gum line directly above the center of your laugh line. This unique placement means that smiley piercings are less likely to get infected than other types of lip piercings. However, because this area has not been pierced before, it can be slightly more <a href=\"https:\/\/tattoobeasts.com\/how-long-does-it-take-for-an-ear-piercing-to-close\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painful<\/a> than other types of lip piercings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to gauge whether or not you will be able to handle the pain of a smiley piercing is by checking out our pain scale below. Remember, everyone experiences pain differently, so use this scale as a general guide rather than a hard and fast rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You shouldn\u2019t feel any pain at all<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You might feel a little bit of pressure or some light stinging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will definitely feel some pain, but it should be tolerable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pain will be sharp but bearable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pain will be very sharp and might bring tears to your eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pain will be unbearable, and you will likely need to stop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the pain scale, getting a smiley piercing falls somewhere between a 3 and a 4 on the pain scale. So if you have gotten another lip piercing before, then chances are you will be just fine during the piercing process. However, if you have never gotten a <a href=\"https:\/\/tattoobeasts.com\/how-long-does-it-take-for-a-nose-piercing-hole-to-close\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">piercing<\/a> before, then we recommend starting with another type of lip piercing, such as a medusa or labret piercing. That way, you can get an idea of how much pain to expect and better prepare yourself for the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/tattoobeasts.com\/how-much-is-a-nose-piercing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Much Is A Nose Piercing? 2024<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aftercare Instructions for Smiley Piercings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve gone over the basics of smiley piercings, it\u2019s time to talk about aftercare! Remember, taking proper care of your new smiley piercing is essential to ensure that it heals quickly and without any complications. We recommend following these aftercare instructions for the first 4-6 weeks after getting your new facial piercing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Clean your new facial piercing 2-3 times per day with saline solution or soap and water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid touching or picking at your new facial piercing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not eat spicy food, drink hot beverages, or consume alcohol until your new facial piercing has healed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not smoke while your new facial piercing is healing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these simple aftercare instructions, you can help ensure that your new smiley piercing heals quickly without any complications. However, if you do experience any redness, swelling, discharge, or other concerning symptoms, then please contact your doctor or piercer immediately for further guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this guide has been helpful in answering some of your questions about Smileys! These unique and trendy facial piercings are becoming more and more popular every day. If you are considering getting a smiley piercing, then we recommend doing your research beforehand and consulting with a professional piercer beforehand.
