This might be a really stupid question, and if it is I’m really sorry about that. I was wondering if you could use a microdermal in an Ashley piercing, I’ve had this piercing done before but each time the back would show or would look to low on the lip, no matter how it was positioned. Because of this I was wondering if I could use a Microdermal instead. Yet again I’m really sorry if I shouldn’t of even asked this question in the first place.

Sorry again I have another question, I used a labret for the jewerly and on your Encyclopedia picture it looks like a curved barbell could that of been a reason for my previous problems…Thank you for your help.

Using a straight labret barbell could be the first reason for the rejection of your previous ashley piercing. A curved barbell is going to be the best choice of jewelry, in my opinion - though many piercers do opt for a flat disc on the inside of the lip to reduce the risk of tooth and gum erosion.

A dermal anchor in the thin, stretchy lip tissue wouldn’t be the best alternative. I’ve removed several of them in the past and have never personally been interested in doing one for anyone else. It’s just too high-impact and high-movement to be able to anchor into place stably.
