im thinking about getting a monroe piercing. i curently have my lip and my nose done, both on the left side. if i got my monroe done, which side would look better, the left or the right? the right probably, becuase i have two on the other side, huh? i dont really know, any opinions would be great=]

also, i know pain is different for everyone, but for you personally, how bad was it? if you have your nose or lip done, how was it compared to that?

eekk this is a lot.. but what was the process like? im wicked nervous about it, but i really want it=]

thanks!=]

Yeah, you might want to even it out by putting it on your right side. I know I had one on my right.

I've never had any facial piercings besides a monroe. I am pretty well with pain - I've gotten my tongue pierced twice & my ears which are no big deal. & I've talked & laughed through a couple tattoos. Basically, needles/piercings have never been that painful or an issue for me. I can't say the monroe piercing doesn't hurt at all. It's painful for atleast 10 seconds & uncomfortable a little after. But it's nothing no one can bear. If you've gotten your lip & nose done, I can't imagine it being too much worse than that. The only thing that's kind of awkward about the process (or was atleast for me) is they leave the needle in there while they take about 10+ seconds to screw in the stud. Maybe my piercer was just a little slow.
