I'm soooo scared! But I'm super excited. I got my tongue done and my ears. But I'm scared for this one. Some reassuring words would be awesome. Thanks guys!

be careful eating with a fork
after i got my snakebites pierced years ago it was pretty painful to eat but they healed fairly quickly
remember to clean the inside of the peircing as well as the outside (i used glyoxide on the inside and bactine on the outside) but your piercer may recommend some other good stuff for you
it was painful to be honest :\

Thanks so much for being honest...I've had so many people say it didnt hurt. But I guess it's how well you tolerate pain right? I'm a HUGE wuss about needles.
I hope everything goes okay. Thanks again.

How are you doing it? Stud/hoop? In the centre/on the side?
And my reassuring words will be that however high or low the level of pain, you'll look like hotness afterward lol.

Lip piercings heal super quick! After just one month my cousins lip piercing healed almost 100%
Good luck! Don't be too afraid, if your nervous it may hurt more
I agree, remember to keep it clean. Cuz a big nasty infection on your face = bleh

Yeah i mean it hurt for me and the Danfanny said it didn't hurt them so it's all person to person. I went through a "piercing crazy" faze when i was in my late teens, and for me, my lip hurt more than getting my nipples done
and i'm a huge wuss too
so just don't think about the actual procedure, just think about how cute it will look after
and it always helps to bring a friend to squeeze on their hand!
you'll be fine! best of luck

When I had piercings in my face, I hated it when people asked, "did that hurt?" Well it's a needle going through your skin, so what do you think!? Anyway rant aside, I would just say don't get it pierced with a ring, change it to a ring after it heals if you want. And of course don't forget to clean it.
And the most important: Post pics afterwards!!

I'm going to disagree here only because when you get it done your lip is going to swell, so you'd need a longer straight bar to accommodate for that swelling which is dangerous because a longer bar could errode your gumline from all the rubbing.
i had my pierced with hoops and it turned out fine
sure i looked like a creature from the book "Where the Wild Things Are" but i changed to an appropriately sized straight bar a few months after it healed

Oh my goodness! Thanks everyone for all your feedback!
Flora- Thanks so Much. I certainly hope I look "The Hotness" When it's all done!
Care- Oh my biff is coming and getting her tongue re-done. So we're kinda getting..."holed?" together. Lol. And I was thinking about getting a stud, but I'm gonna ask the guy prolly a million and a half questions before it's all done and over with. Lol.
Banjo- You know I'll prolly have like 10 billion pics up afterward. I've been looking forward to this all week.
ManBeater- Oh I am SUPER crazy when it comes to keeping my piercings clean. When I got my tongue done, I actually got in a car accident like 15 mins later, but I mainly tried to keep it...impact and yuck free..lol.

I got my lip piercing more than one year ago and... it was ok
It didn't hurt that much, healed well and I still love it. Only smiling was quite strange afterwards and never ever try to eat citrus fruits while it's still healing!! I've eaten only a few pieces of a tangerine and got THAT big lips! Looked like some porn star
What kind of lip piercing will you get? And never forget the pictures

I only say that because the ring is going to move around a lot more and irritate the hole, and because if a scab forms on the jewelry, it might get pulled inside by the ring turning and possibly cause an infection and even more irritation. I'm sure if a person is careful it would be fine with a ring, but personally I am a "picker" and have always had better luck with stud-type jewelry.

I had the center of my bottom lip pierced with a CBR. The piercing itself didn't hurt, but afterward my lip was pretty sore. It was about a week before I could comfortably rest anything on it (i.e. the edge of a cup, a sandwich, slice of pizza...) - for the first week I was chopping food into small bites and drinking through a straw. I guess it's a good way to diet.
After about a month I got annoyed with the CBR and put a horseshoe ring in it. I like the way it looks better (In retrospect, I probably should have just vertically pierced my lip). I didn't have any issues with it healing, but changing the jewelry in it is a pain sometimes... that could also be attributed to my 1.5inch long nails. :/

It might sound weird but - remember to breath. So many people hold their breath when they're getting piercings, which only makes both your mind and body panic a bit. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly as the needle goes in :] You'll be fine.

I've had the right side of my lip done for the last three years and i did the other side, for snakebites a year later.
The swelling is a pain, but other than that you should be fine.
remember to clean it 2-3 times a day <3

Man I really want a lip piercing, but I'm a french horn player and a lip piercing just isn't going to work.
Oh well, I love my horn more.
I find the CBR vs barbell debate fascinating. Having just taken the barbell out of my navel piercing before it was healed and screwed my piercing up while putting it back in, I've decided it's a better idea for me to get CBRs in the future so I can't decide that it's healed and try to take it out. Sometimes I feel like half of growing up is anticipating my own stupidity.
