What is a angel piercing?

An "angel piercing" usually refers to Angel Fangs, which are two vertical piercings through the upper lip, exiting below, often with spiked jewelry for a fang-like look, or Angel Bites, which are symmetrical piercings above the upper lip, like a Madonna and Monroe combined, exiting inside the mouth. Both are symmetrical pairs on the top lip, but their key difference is placement: Angel Fangs go through the lip (vertical labret style) while Angel Bites go above the lip (labret style).

How much do angel fangs usually cost?

Angel fangs (also called angel bites) piercings typically cost between $60 to $120 for the pair, but prices vary greatly by location, piercer skill, and jewelry choice (basic titanium vs. decorative). Expect to pay more for premium materials like gold or complex designs, with total costs potentially rising to $150-$200+ with jewelry and tip, though simpler surgical steel options are cheaper. 

Why are they called angel bites?

They're called "angel bites" because they're a pair of symmetrical piercings on the upper lip, positioned where one might imagine "angelic" markings, resembling a subtle halo or symmetrical charm, and are essentially the inverse of "snake bites" (on the lower lip). The name signifies their placement above the lip, contrasting with lower lip "bites," and sometimes the jewelry (especially spikes) can enhance this "angelic" or ethereal look. 

What is the riskiest piercing?

What is the 3 2 piercing rule?
