Talk:Labret

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've noticed there's also a (longer) article called lip piercing. Should this article be merged with lip piercing, or are labrets only a specific type of lip piercing, that might have their own article? If the articles should be separate, we might want to move/copy some of the labret-specific material from that article to here. I posted to the discussion page there too. -- Creidieki

Moved labret-specific information from lip piercing to this article. --Meredith 00:34, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the above statement is not true. the labret, even though it is latin(labrum) for lip, is a piercing placed between the lower lip and the chin. the jewelry(studs or rings) that is used does not determine the piercing, however the placement does. a lip piercing is anything that is on the lip line or directly below it. -PeaceFullyDejected

Why does the picture have to be of such an ugly woman? Do no attractive people have this?

As a one-time Latin scholar, I would naturally pronounce this la'brett (a' as in tablet), not lay-brett. Was I misinformed?

I would agree with your pronunciation. I have also never heard it pronounced "lay-brett" and wonder where this pronunciation is found? --FaerieInGrey 21:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I would pronounce it the same way, however, all the information in this article appears to have come from answers.com. http://www.answers.com/labret&r=67

The bulk of the information given doesn't make sense to me, it reads very badly.

Also, does BP stand for 'before present'? or something else?
