Lip piercing =]
Don't worry, it's not a stupid question like ''I wanna pierce my lip and put an earring post in there''
In July last year, on a school trip, I pierced my lip. I knew what I was doing. I had clamps, sterilized 14ga piercing needle and everything I needed, after I put a 16ga actual labret stud in. I kept a longer post in for the week we were gone, cleaned it all the time, and by the fourth day, it was perfectly healed, no pain what so ever.
Due to the fear of my parents going to slaughter me, I bought a labret retainer, and it works perfectly, I put a little bit of cover-up around it and it just looks like a spot.
My parents haven't noticed so far, so I'm safe.
( I take it out when we go to restaurants and soon , especially the dentist)
But I'm wondering when should I tell them that I got it pierced, I'm sure that they'll make me take it out if they find out, but I don't like the fact that I have to hide it all the time. Like once I forgot to put the labret in at school, before I went home, and I just had to take it out. My dad asked me why I had a hole in my lip and I told him it was a dent mark I had from wearing a fake piercing and he believed it so I was ok. But he always looks at my lip nowadays.
What do you think I should do about this situation?

I think your dad already suspects you have your lip pierced. He noticed the hole before and continues to check out that area--he already knows probably.
This is where it gets rough though. Your dad probably isn't confronting you because he feels he must be wrong. Why would his child lie to him, right? Your dad will have every right to be upset when he finds out.
Yes, you've lied to your parents. What makes this really bad is you lied to them about something really silly. You're now not as trustworthy to them as you were in the past. Think about the times that people have lied to you about things you felt were big. Did you get upset?
If I were you, I'd confess right away. The worst they can do is make you remove it. Even then, one day you will be able to get the piercing. If you really want it then I'm sure you can wait a little time before they okay it.
When you confront your parents, you need to sit them both down and tell them that you did something you know they're not going to approve of. Also, let them know that you realize you lied to your father and you apologize. Let them know you now realize it was best to just tell them rather than hiding the truth.
Answer their questions about the piercing. Let them know what you were thinking at the time, how you got it pierced, why you lied to your father, and anything else they may want to know. Being honest is very important and coming forward with this information shows you have grown and aren't as childish as you once were.
If they force you to remove it then do so. If you're hiding it all the time then what's the point? Piercings are suppose to be seen.
If you pierced your lip to fit in with the crowd (or "not" to fit in) then re-evaluate your actions. Was this the wisest way to do so? Could you have done something equally as popular without harming the relationship you have with your parents? (Start a new trend even? Wear the fake jewelery until you get approval?) You don't need piercings to fit in with anyone.
If it was for the "cute" factor then I'm sure you can find something equally as attractive. There are tons of ideas floating around out there for starting new trends and being unique that nobody has even touched yet. You can be trendy without disobeying and hurting the people who care about you most.
Instead of getting mad, try to talk to them. Calmly ask them when they think it might be okay for you to get it pierced. Don't try to persuade them because that shows you're immature. Be an adult about this situation.
I'm sorry you've gotten yourself into a little mess but I do hope you find your way out in the best way possible.

Well if your 18 your an adult and are able to have the peircing even if your parents don't like it. If not then you should still tell them because since you wear the peircing at school a teacher or principle could call your parents and tell them and telling you parents yourself is a lot better. If they tell you to take it out you could always get it repeirced in the future. But maybe they will be fine with it.
