Lip Piercings


Question Posted Sunday December 2 2007, 2:07 am

I've been reading up on lip irecings, I've wanted one since 6th grade, and I'm now in 9th. (14/f) alright, well my grandmother won't take me to a professional due to one being so far, and she really doesn't want me to have one. My mother, well, she'll go all crazy on me if I get it done, but I don't live with her, so yeah, after the swelling/redness goes down, I can tell her its my fake one. Ok so the main point, I'm thinking of getting a piercing kit and letting my best friend do it. Please don't yell at me & tell me to do it professionally, as I said, I've been reading. I absolutely refuse to do it myself. I've read all the risks, but nowhere actually tells you the chances of these risks...Does anyone know? And if you pierced yourself, how'd it go ?

I have had my lip pierced twice, both times professionally. I did, on the other hand, have a friend pierce my nose. Most people would say not to do that, but I have pierced someone's lip for them before. It really is quite simple. Just be sure to keep it clean and don't play with it too much. Germs on your hands can cause an infection.

The risks are quite high. Mostly everyone I knew that had their lip pierced by a friend or even themselves had an infection & had to take it out. I think the risks are close to 50/50. Most likely, if you aren't a professional you won't be able to do it right. It isn't their job & they probably aren't experienced in it. It's also not very clean. At a shop, you are in a clean environment & it's sterilized. They have a permit for opening a shop to do it so therefore it's most likely safe. I'm not trying to talk you out of it because it is your lip. I'm just letting you know that there's a very high chance of you getting an infection. If you want to take that risk it's your decision. If it does become infected, go to the hospital so they can remove it correctly. Also, there's probably a good chance that she'll know it isn't fake. Fake piercings do not look like real ones.

-hope that helped!♥
