Customizing Your Angel Fangs: Exploring Jewelry Options
Angel fangs piercings are one of the boldest and most eye-catching lip piercing styles out there. They feature curved barbells that go vertically through the upper lip and exit right below, creating a fang-like illusion that’s both dramatic and refined. These piercings are especially popular for their ability to be uniquely styled thanks to the wide range of jewelry ends you can choose from.
What Exactly Are Angel Fangs Piercings?
Angel fangs are a type of paired vertical upper lip piercing. They’re placed with symmetry in mind and give off a fang-like appearance, hence the name. Because of their vertical path through the lip, they require jewelry that matches your anatomy and won’t cause unnecessary pressure or irritation. That’s where curved barbells come in.
Why Curved Barbells Are Ideal for Angel Fang Piercings
Curved barbells are designed to follow the natural curvature of the lip, which makes them a perfect fit for angel fangs. They’re the only fit. As mentioned in our angel fang piercing guide, curved barbells sit comfortably, heal better than straight options, and are less likely to migrate than hoops. On top of that, they’re highly customizable, and you can switch up the ends to match your mood, aesthetic, or event, and make the piercing your own.
Customize Your Look: Ends for Curved Barbells
Just because the only jewelry available for angel fangs are curved barbells doesn’t mean you can’t have fun playing with different ends. Let’s dive into the various options you have to make your piercings truly your own:
Spiked Ends
If you want the actual appearance of fangs from your angel fangs piercing, then you’re going to want to stick with spiked ends. At Urban Body Jewelry, we have an assortment of spike ends running in various lengths and styles. You can choose a more subdued look by sticking with plain titanium spiked ends, or you can opt for something that better suits your style. If you’re looking for color, we stock colored spiked ends, or you can even opt for our white or purple opalite spiked ends.
Gemstone Ends
If you prefer something more glam, gemstone ends are the way to go. These add a touch of personality to your angel fangs without being too over-the-top, unless you want them to be. From shimmering cubic zirconia or even genuine stones like aventurine, black onyx, or aventurine, gemstone ends can instantly elevate your look.
The best part? You can pick from different cuts and shapes. We stock everything from round, princess, prong, bezel-set, and claw-set styles. Want something subtle and icy? Try a pair of clear CZs. Feeling bold? Go for colored gems like amethyst or tiger’s eye, which contrast nicely against your natural lip color.
Ball Ends
If you like the look of paired vertical upper lip piercings but you want to avoid the fang-like appearance, you can opt for ball ends instead. Ball ends are smooth, low-profile, and perfect for anyone who wants a no-fuss look that still delivers on style. In fact, while your angel fangs piercings are healing, you must wear ball ends because they’re less likely to catch on clothing, towels, or bedding. They also reduce the chances of migration or rejection.
Ball ends come in a wide range of sizes and colors so that you can opt for something tiny and discreet or a more pronounced ball for a little extra impact. Polished stainless steel is a timeless favorite, but you can also go with anodized titanium for a splash of color or even 14k gold for a more luxe touch.
You can even mix and match ball ends across both barbells to create a fully custom look that matches your aesthetic. Try making a rainbow effect or a gradient with different colors across all four ends.
Shaped Ends
Another option for angel fangs is to have shaped ends. You can have a decorative shape on the top of the curved barbell that reflects your interests or style. Shaped ends range from crescent moons to flowers, from stars to hearts, and from bees to skulls. If you have other facial piercings, you can match the decorative ends to a specific theme. Whether you’re going for something celestial, boho energy, or something unexpected, shaped ends offer you the ability to personalize your piercings down to the last detail.
How to Customize Your Angel Fang Jewelry With Different Ends
Although there are a variety of curved barbells to choose from for your angel fangs, the magic comes in selecting specific ends that match your style, attitude, or aesthetic. At Urban Body Jewelry, we’ve got an expansive collection of angel fang jewelry for you to browse through.
