about
For the most part I'm good with car and animal related questions, but I'll answer other stuff if its something I feel I know enough about. Ask me anything, and I'll give it my best shot.
Just dont ask me anything about the chances of you being pregnant.
Or if s/he likes you or not.
Or if you're fat. (I'll say yes no matter what)
advice
The first time I asked this question almost all of the information I got was useless.
I've pierced my lip unprofessionally. The girl who pierced my lip has done three mouth/facial piercings to herself, and at least two others for different people - not counting me.
Earlier I had an earring in the hole to keep it from closing. I'm aware that an earring is not the correct gauge. I did NOT pierce my lip with the earring. In fact, I used a much larger needle that now (post asking this question the FIRST time) have pushed that needle through my lip three times.
I've researched this piercing for months now, and got parental permission before I did it.
This is NOT the first home piercing I've gotten.
Does anyone have any CLEANING tips or any suggestions as to what TYPE of ring I should buy to put in it?
(Do refrain from telling me to take it out or about the "cheese grater effect" because I'm already aware of what problems this may cause.)
ok, i read most of your respomses. and they were fairly useless and kinda roundabout. ive had peorcins before, and know many people that have. what you should to is go to a local piercing shop (or even hot topic ive found) and buy a 16 or preferably 18 gauge ring. it will look like a little metal circle with a ball on it. oh, and it should be surgical steel if you really want to be safe. this is the kind of stuff they use for surgical intruments. heres a picture of what you need ((or close to it))--http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000BW3F3G?v=glance
this ring allows easy cleaning and almost no irratation
as for cleaning, you can buy a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide and clean it with that and warm water two times a day, or you can use salt water, or easiest and still very effective you can use a mild antibacterial soap.to do this wet the lip and ring with warm water, rub some soap inbetween your fingers, and then into and around the ring. work the ring through your lip (hmm, how to describe it...kinda like turning a steering wheel, yet its in your lip) and yes it will sting, but thats good. do this two times a day for maybe 1 to 2 monthes depending upon how healed it is already.
hope this helps - any more questions and im here.

(Rating: 5) Thank you, but I've taken it out for other reasons.
