Millennials, for instance, are opting for wedding ring piercings on their fourth finger, ditching traditional rings. But that's not even the most extreme example.

Gauged ears are popular and common. Gauged lips, however, remain taboo. This look, which pierces and widens the skin under the lip into an open hole, is very unsafe for your teeth and mouth.
