Vertical labret
A vertical labret passes through the lower lip itself, bottom to top — the lower ball sits under the lip, the upper one on its surface.

Why a curved bar
The lip edge is curved; a straight bar would press its ends in.
Healing
2–3 months. Take a longer bar for the first two weeks.
Versus Ashley
In an Ashley the second end exits inside the mouth.
