Lip sewing can be practiced as a ritual activity or purely for aesthetic reasons. When practiced ritualistically, it can help focus the mind for meditation by removing the ability to speak. Sutures are used and can be left in for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. The sutures generally leave little to no scarring when used in this fashion.

I am a progressive artist specializing in precision piercing, advanced modification, scarification and ritual experience. When I'm not working toward my degree in medicine or kicking it at The FALL, I spend my time time traveling with my art, doing demonstrations, performing sideshow, playing with rope, longboarding, playing music, building things, volunteering and writing for various websites and zines. If you have a question, check my FAQ for the answer. If you can't find the answer you're looking for there, shoot me an email! My tour calendar and work schedule is located here and my pricelist can be found here.
