Angel Fangs Piercings Done Right in Seattle, WA
Angel fangs are one of the most striking lip piercings you can get: two symmetrical vertical piercings on the upper lip. They create the signature look of curved barbells peeking below the lip line, each one giving a subtle, but unmistakable fang effect. It's dramatic. It's edgy. And when it's done well, it's stunning. At our Seattle studio, our licensed piercers take angel fangs seriously. Because this is an anatomy-dependent piercing, the placement process matters as much as the technique itself. Before anything happens, we'll examine your lip structure, walk you through your options, and make sure it’s positioned for the best possible outcome for both aesthetics and healing. We use only implant-grade jewelry and single-use sterile needles in a clean, private piercing room, so you can focus on what’s important.

Implant-Grade Jewelry for Your Angel Fangs Piercing
The jewelry you start with matters more than most people realize, especially for a piercing as prone to movement as angel fangs. We carry implant-grade titanium and other high-quality metals in the curved barbell styles required for this piercing. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and available in a range of anodized colors if you want to personalize your look from day one.
Once your piercings have fully healed, there's even more to explore. The ends on curved barbells can range from delicate beads to dramatic spike tips, giving you room to shift your style over time without changing the jewelry itself. Browse our online shop to get a sense of what's available, or explore options in-person at the studio when you come in for your appointment.
Angel Fangs Piercing FAQs
Angel fangs are a pair of vertical lip piercings placed on the upper lip, one on each side of the philtrum. The jewelry enters from the top of the lip and exits near the lip line, so that the bottom of each curved barbell peeks out just below the upper lip, creating the distinctive fang-like appearance the piercing is named for.
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people describe angel fangs as moderate on the pain scale. Since it's a double piercing done in one session, you'll feel the sensation twice, and the upper lip is naturally sensitive tissue. The procedure itself is quick, and any sharpness is brief. Expect some swelling and tenderness for a few days after.
Healing timelines for angel fangs range widely depending on aftercare habits, anatomy, and lifestyle. Most people see significant improvement within two to four months, though full healing can take considerably longer. You'll need to return to your piercer to downsize the jewelry once swelling goes down. Leaving the initial longer barbell in for too long can increase the risk of migration.
Angel fangs require a dual-part routine since they pass through the lip. Clean the outside of each piercing with a sterile saline spray twice daily, and rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free antimicrobial mouthwash after eating, drinking, or smoking. Avoid touching the piercings with unwashed hands, stay out of pools and hot tubs during healing, and follow the personalized instructions your piercer provides at your appointment.
