lip piercings can be placed anywhere around the mouth, but the surface of the lip is not typically pierced itself, except for horizontal lip piercings and canine bites. piercings in specific positions have certain names. monroe piercings, for example, are labret studs worn on the upper lip where marilyn monroe had her famous beauty mark. medusa piercings go through the center of the upper lip (the philtrum), perpendicular to the tissue. labret piercings are pierced with a labret stud and can pierced in the center or off-center. a variation of this is the lowbret, a lower labret. vertical labret piercings go through the center of the bottom lip, parallel to the tissue. the variation is called the vertical lowbret, which starts inside the mouth between the lower lip and the teeth and travels straight down, exiting on the lower edge of the jawline. horizontal lip piercings are very rare, and include a horizontal bar on the lower lip that goes through the lip surface. another variation of the labret is known as the dahlia piercing. the piercings, placed at or very near the corners of the mouth, are named in reference to the murder of black dahlia, in which the victim's mouth was cut along the same horizontal line along which these piercings are placed.

the sound of a flue pipe is produced with no moving parts, solely from the vibration of air, in the same manner as a recorder or a whistle. wind from the "flue", or windway is driven over an open window and against a sharp lip called a "labium". by bernoulli's principle this produces a lower pressure region just below the window. when the vacuum under the window is large enough, the airstream is pulled under the labium lip. then the process works in reverse, with a low pressure region forming over the labium which pulls the airstream to the other side again. this 'fluttering' airflow creates high and low pressure waves within the pipe's air column. a high and a low pressure wave form a single "cycle" of the pipe's tone.
