Should I get a monroe or a lip piercing?

I don't have permission yet, because I wanted to decide first. I want to hear it from all angles on which one I should get. How painful is a monroe and how painful is a lip piercing (I wanted mine on the lower right side, my right side)? Which would look better on ME? Which swells more? I don't want to get both, because I want to keep it simple, but I really want either one. I like the monroe piercing, but I don't know...I also really like the lip piercing...someone decide for me! Thanks all.

P.S. If it helps, crop a picture of a piercing onto my picture to visualize it haha.

I think you'd look great with either...but especially good with a monroe.

A monroe piercing in my opinion would look classier. Lips tend to be quite sensitive, but the skin around then is not much less sensitive - its going to hurt no matter which one you get, but a Monroe perhaps slightly less? Lips have a tendency to swell, but where a monroe piercing goes that area won't swell so much. The choice is yours, however - get whatever one you feel most comfortable with.

I think monroe piercings are beautiful, but I don't have one, so I can't tell you if it hurts or anything.

I had my lip pierced. it hurt, but it wasn't bad at all don't worry. I wouldn't get a lip piercing though. they're played and don't look good on too many people. they also take away from your face. a monroe would look good on you.

I've had both, my snakebite hurt a LITTLE more, not a big diff, monroe jewelry is the WORST to change, not just MY oppinion either, I've talked to several others, mine almost closed while I tried to change the jewlery. go with the off centre labret.

I got my monroe done a month ago. And I agree I can't even get the ball off the bar. And the people won't change. And I also got a lip piercing. But its on the opposite side. And I put a tiny tiny stud in it. And honestly it doesn't look bad.
