Oral

• Pertaining to the mouth.
• Oral piercings include tongue, lip, labret, cheek piercings.

Outie

• A navel in which the central part pokes out from the wall of the abdomen.
• Sometimes this means there is an umbilical hernia present. Umbilical hernia is an absolute contra-indication to navel piercing. Piercing in this situation could lead to peritonitis.
• Much less common than the reverse situation, known as the innie.
