a labret piercing
Honestly, I have had my labret piercing for about 7 months now and I took it out for about 4 hours for a class. At the end when I tried to put the piercing back in it hurt. The hole were the piercing was seemed to have tightened up. It took a few hours for my piercing to feel like it usually does. So I would guess that a labret piercing would close up kinda fast
At any piercing parlor.
LABRET this is a stud in your lip
A vertical labret is through the bottom of your lip like a normal labret but instead of the other side being in your lip (touching teeth/on gum) it is through the middle of the bottom lip. so you can see both balls on the bar. See pic: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vertical+labret
