labret
Below-mouth jewelry piece
A labret is a piercing through the lip, or the jewelry worn in such a piercing.
The term most often refers to piercings centered below the lower lip, though it can apply to lip piercings generally.
Labrets have ancient roots in various cultures, from Mesoamerican civilizations to Arctic indigenous peoples, where they signified status or tribal identity.
