Not sure if this is in the right category, sorry if its not!
So I'm 13/f, and I've been wanting a lip ring for about a year and a half. All my friends that are my age hate lip rings (except one) and my grandma (whom I live with) said I can't get one until I'm 18. Well I've been researching about it, like the risks, and side effects and stuff. I've absolutely decided I will NOT do it unless the materials are sterilized (my OLDER friends got their friends to do it with safety pins) But I was researching, like the different types, because I haven't decided on that either. I currently wear a fake one (lame, I know) just to get used to it and such. (Its the hoop that goes around your lip) Anyway though I was wondering if anyone knows a site that has details on different types of lip rings? I searched google, but all I got was mostly stores. I'm trying to get as much research and side effects and such done so I can make a convincing argument. My birthday's the 23rd, and I was hoping to try and talk my grandma into letting me get a lip ring for then.
I'm wondering about a lip ring segment, lip hugger, and a few more.
Additional info, added Sunday February 4 2007, 7:17 pm: I just finished reading the APP regulations, rules, and procedures, and how to fight the risks. I've also read the procedures and aftercare, and also researched the nearest APP Piercing Salon. I still cannot find any information about lip huggers or lip ring segments. So any help on those is still needed <333. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles? juicyloverxo12 answered Monday February 5 2007, 5:39 pm: Hey, no matter how sterilized anything is can't prevent infections or anything. Like the person below me said, you wont die or anything but it can still be dangerous. Also, 13 is a pretty young age to wear a lip ring.. but if you really want one, keep researching and go for it.
