The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

lip piercings

so I'm planning on getting my lip pierced, what do you people think about lip piercings in general?
 
I don't mind them on other people I just would not one myself. I tend to chew on my lips and reckon it might hurt at some point especially when I am not quite coherent.
A girl who lives near me has 2 on her upper lip and she has ones with colourful gems in them and it looks nice, but to be honest I think I may just be past it. Nearly got a tatoo, then thought of how my skin would look as an oap and it put me off, so it's how you feel not anyone else.
If you think you would be happy with it go for it.
 
You can always take it out if you find you don't like it down the road. I say go for it if you think you might like it, but think long and hard about it. If you get it done, make sure the place is sterile. They should show you the needle in the package before they open it. Don't be cheap with hygiene and go someplace $10 less--You'll pay for it with the healing time.

I wanted my lip pierced basically from the age of 13 'til I got it done at 19. Kept it in 'til I was almost 21--Ended up taking it out because I realized it didn't look very good. Not to mention work changed their policy on facial jewelry and wearing a retainer in the hole was a pain in the ass.

I also played with it wayyyy too much and it got irritated frequently--If you have any oral fixations (or if you like inflicting pain), you may not want to get anything in/around your mouth pierced. So easy to play with it 'til it hurts then not stop... /rambling.

In general I think they look all right on some people who get it--But others just can't pull it off.

Oh, and anything but hoops may scratch your teeth. I wore a straight gem in the lip piercing hole for awhile 'til my dentist yelled at me and mentioned how it was wearing away the enamel.
 
I don't get why people always ask other peoples opinion on this sort of thing. If you want it bad enough, just get it done.
 
well I'm planning on getting it done regardless of what people on here said i just wanted their opinions on it anyway
 
I think I would probably have some sort of facial piercing if I didn't work in an office enviornment. I think they look great on a lot of people.

If you like it then definitely go for it. :)
 
Well, as people have said above, it can be removed at any time.. so it's no big deal.

I had my eyebrow pierced at 17, kept it for a year but my skin never completley accepted the piercing despite changing the metal 3 times, in the end i just removed it.. im sure if it didn't reject i'd probably still have it.
 
I have three . And can take them out whenever I need too. I say do the work and if you don't like it .... Take it out ...and let it heal.. You'll only be out a few bucks
 
One of my exes from like 8 years ago had 2 lip piercings. I thought it was great.
But these days everyone has them so they're about as interesting as pierced ears to me. I don't know, they're cool, just kinda "whatever" for me now. I don't think they look bad or anything though, they're fine.

But if you want to get your lip pierced, why the heck not? :)
If you decide you don't like it you can take it out. Yeah, there will be a hole/scar, but I figure I've got scars all over my body just from doing normal everyday stuff. What's another one? If you don't stretch yours out (my ex did) you're only gonna have a little hole anyway.

Looking at my eyebrow piercing scar makes me miss it a lot. Like malakaix, mine never completely healed. Skin kept getting thinner and thinner. I actually had it pierced twice and kept it for about 3 years. I want another one but I'm afraid the same thing will happen again. :(
 
I think they look kinda stupid. Never have I seen a piercing that I found attractive, more-so the opposite. It just seems real gimmicky but I guess that wore off 20yrs? ago.

peace.

Hmm I disagree. I've seen some guys with lip piercings who rock them really well!

I prefer labret piercings to LIP piercings, but they suit some people really nicely, in my opinion.

I really really don't like the single side lip rings though, EVERYONE has them these days so it's not original anymore.

I'm going to merge this with the existing Piercings discussion thread :)
 
I like vertical labrets myself.

I was considering getting it done at one point, but decided I didn't really wanna get anything pierced on my face.
 
I had an inverted vertical labret, it sure was pretty :)

Thinking of having two small dermals placed behind my ears. I need some more piercings, and I
really miss my dermals :(
 
okay so i go it done! looks great in my opinion, quick question i didnt want to ask the piercer whats the rule on ecstasy use 2 days after getting it done?
 
Oh god I wouldn't do it. Just don't please. I'm in no state of mind to explain why so hopefully someone else can. But don't!
