Whether you're a fan of this trendy piercing or not, it's worth knowing more about its origins.<\/span><\/p>

To find out the history of such piercings, we must first go to biology class. A frenulum is the common name for a skin flap<\/strong> that connects a moving piece of skin to your body. Frenum piercings happen already thousands of years<\/strong> by indigenous peoples such as those of the Timor<\/strong> island in Indonesia. This with a twist, though, because here it is about the stretchy piece of skin between the shaft of the penis and the foreskin. However, the first references to piercings of the frenulum in the mouth date from the late nillies, and have become very popular in the U.S. in the last 5 years.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The\u00a0smiley piercing<\/a>\u00a0is one of the latest piercing trends, and for good reason!\u00a0<\/p>

When piercing your \"smiley face,\" the needle goes through the frenulum into your mouth. Therefore, the official term for the smiley piercing is the\u00a0lip frenulum piercing<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

To search for your frenulum, do this:<\/p>

  1. Look in a mirror.<\/li>
  2. Push your upper lip curled upward.\u00a0<\/li>
  3. Find it\u00a0thin piece of skin that connects the inside of your lip to your gum line.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

    So you can make the piercing\u00a0just seeing when you smile<\/strong>, hence the nickname Smiley Piercing.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
