A good place to start is the overall look: what shows when you talk, what changes when you smile and which detail you want to highlight.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colour:<\/strong> you can look for a sparkle similar to your piercings or create a contrast. There is no rule that every piece has to match.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> a small gem usually gives a subtler effect than an arrangement of several pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Position:<\/strong> changes how visible the detail is. A reference on someone else&#8217;s smile can give you an idea, but it does not show exactly how it will look on yours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The combination is an aesthetic choice. It does not mean your teeth are incomplete without jewellery or that you need to change anything about your appearance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Thinking about your smile as a whole<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just as you can combine several earrings on one ear, you can consider how gems work together. Sometimes one is enough. Other times, you may feel like repeating a shape or playing with different sizes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A single piece:<\/strong> to try a simple detail without drawing all the attention to your mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Several pieces:<\/strong> for a more noticeable result, provided the placement is suitable for your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shapes and finishes:<\/strong> compare references and ask which options are available and what materials they are made from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You do not need a name for your style. A photo or an explanation of what you like can be enough to start the conversation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Choosing a detail you want to wear<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before deciding, think about everyday life: do you want something barely visible, or would you prefer a more obvious sparkle? Would you like to pair it with your current piercings or wear it on its own?<\/p>\n<p>Tooth gems do not necessarily last forever, but that does not make them an accessory you can glue on, swap or remove at home. How long they last varies, and removal should be left to an appropriately qualified professional.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What to ask before choosing a studio<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As well as looking at design examples, ask about the procedure, materials, aftercare and removal. An attractive arrangement is not enough to tell you whether it is suitable for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have sensitivity, cavities, gum discomfort or previous dental work, consult your dentist first. The aesthetic choice should come after assessing your oral health.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Personalising without adding for the sake of it<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A small star, a crystal or a combination of shapes can create very different results. Comparing several options will help you see what you like; you do not need to choose the boldest one or the one with the most pieces.<\/p>\n<p>You can also decide that none of them feels right for now. Taking your time is part of the process, just as it is when comparing tattoo references.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bring your references and questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At <strong>Bon Vivant Tattoo Studio<\/strong>, on Calle Montera in Madrid, you can tell us what you have in mind and ask about the available options. A general idea is enough too.<\/p>\n<p>The aim is for you to understand what will be done and how to care for it, and for the design to suit you. It is not about turning your smile into a different one, but about deciding whether you would enjoy that detail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you like tooth gems but wonder whether they would work with the piercings you already wear?
