Gypsy lips refer to a woman’s genitalia that are overly pierced to the point of being barely recognizable. The outer lips, or labia, is pierced with a needle and has hoops or studs pushed through the open holes. Depending on the size and girth of the skin, gypsy lips can have upwards of 25 piercings in all. The term gypsy lips comes from the pounds of jewelry worn by past and present gypsies.
Gypsies, also known as Romani or Roms, are a large nomadic group that has the majority of their population in France, Ireland, and Brazil. They wear a lot of jewelry and sound like Santa’s sleigh. It is only imagined that the female gypsies have heavily pierced labia.
Gypsy lips run the risk of elongating the labia. If a woman puts heavier metals through her vag skin, it may eventually pull on and stretch out the skin. Think of African peoples or punk losers who think they’re awesome and stretch out their ear lobes well past the 1990s. And, believe me, if this look is down in the junkal area, it ain’t pretty! Who wants to pound a chick while her skin is swaying like rudolph’s reins? No one, that’s who.
If you must pierce yourself for whatever reason – esthetics, extra sensation, or because you have a gift certificate to Bad Rebel Tattoos and it expires in 14 days – please do so with this in mind: the vag area is sacred. It’s nice to have it spruced up with some waxing and maybe one or two piercings. Don’t feel the need to put multiple holes surrounding your most important hole. Unless you want to be called Gypsy Lips.
