Labret connector
A labret pin (English: Labret pin or Labret stud ) is a special piercing jewelry for labret piercing . But it can also be worn with other piercings, for example the Nostril piercing or the conch piercing .
A modern labret plug consists of a pin, usually made of stainless steel or titanium , with a plate on one side and a thread for screwing on a locking ball or various jewelry objects on the other end. A plug made of PTFE is suitable for use in a labret piercing , as the soft material can cause the slightest damage to gums and teeth.
