A smiley piercing is a piercing through your frenulum (the bit of skin between your lip and your gum at the top of your mouth), and is only really visible when you smile. Hence the name.
I've been intrigued by them for a year or two, but never thought I'd get one, due to my parents conservative ideas and strict principles. However, following a couple of tattoos and some pretty big 'debates' over the matter, I was told 'it's my body so I guess I can do what I want'. So like anyone else I went and got it ASAP! And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Not only is it discrete, pretty, sexy and painless, it is very temporary and also quite unusual, which I like. I got a plain silver ring which just hangs below the edge of my gums. Although the response has been largely mixed, I do definitely think this is a piercing that's going to become increasingly popular. Like the trendy septum piercing this is fairly unique.
I wanted to get this piercing as it is one of the only ones you can get that won't leave a permanent mark. I like eyebrow, nose and ear piercings but I'm not too keen on being left with little holes! I highly highly recommend this piercing for anyone who fancies something a bit different, and absolutely zero fuss.
Here's a highly edited picture of my piercing (got to love a good Instagram filter)
