How to know if I should get my lip pierced? pros n' cons?

Hi Everyone! (=

I want some help here: I’m debating on getting my lip pierced. Here’s some things I’m considering:

-Would it look good on me? (pics on my profile) When I make fake ones I found that the single hoop looks best. because the shape of my lips are kindof smaller. the asymmetry of of 1 hoop makes it less noticeable.

  • What about scars? I like the look, but my style changes sometimes. what if I really dont like it later? is the scar really that bad?

-Parents! Family! Ok, I would def. wait till 18, but I still dont want them 2 know because they’re SOSOSSOOO against it. Can I hide it?

AHH!! I don’t know what to do!! Kids in my school have it and I think it looks so cute!! Can you give me some pros and cons so I can decide better? Please? =(

-Would it look good on me? If you like how you look with a fake one you will most likely like how you look with a real one seeing as they look essentially the same.

  • What about scars? It will leave a scar, as do all piercings. How bad the scar is will depend on a lot of different things, some people have really bad scars, some have very UNnoticeable scars. You should expect at least a small indention the size of the jewelry, so the bigger gauge you pierce it with the bigger scar you will have (stick to a 16 or if you must a 14)

-Can I hide it? Once it is healed you can take it out but the amount of time you have it out before it closes is unknown until you try it. You can buy clear or flesh tone jewelry that will make it a lot less noticeable.

-Pros and cons? You seem pretty set on getting one so I’m sure you know all the pros. As far as cons, lip piercings are difficult to heal. They take a while to heal and they are pain in the butt for the ENTIRE healing process (it doesnt HURT the whole time but it is definatly uncomfortable) You have to be careful about the jewelry you wear because the wrong size gauge, length or metal can really damage your teeth and gums.

My vote is yes, I think you should get one. I love mine and I think you would like yours too :)

Cheers!

-Would it look good on me? it might and it might not, piercings dont suit everyone, but that doesnt mean you cant get one, wear a fake piercing and see if that looks good on you

  • What about scars? I like the look, but my style changes sometimes. what if I really dont like it later? is the scar really that bad? yes, you will get a scar and the scar is permanent and noticable, he longer you leave it in for the more noticable the scar can be. sometimes you will also be left with a small noticable indent

-Parents! Family! Ok, I would def. wait till 18, but I still dont want them 2 know because they’re SOSOSSOOO against it. Can I hide it? you CANT hide it. you must keep it in for at least 3 months before changing it or taking it out anyway. and your parents look at your face/mouth all the time, especially when you talk, if you think you can get away with it your wrong, you CANT. If your parents dont aproove simply wait untill your old enough to get it yourself, its not thats hard

AHH!! I don’t know what to do!! Kids in my school have it and I think it looks so cute!! Can you give me some pros and cons so I can decide better? all schools with a dress code do NOT allow facial piercings because they are not part of the school uniform, so if your school has a uniform and they see your piercing they will demand you take it out. regardless of how many other kids/teens that have them that they havent noticed yet

for now I would say no, wait untill your out of school

Answer #3

your very pretty=] if you get any piercing there is going to be a scar if you take it out but you could use cocoa butter or something to make it less notecible. but if you get any lip piercing you have to get a monroe done…it would look prettiest on you I think

Answer #4

I would wear a fake one all the time. ALL THE TIME. so you can see how annoying it gets. Then think, do I really want this?

I guess its not so bad because it isn’t a tattoo- you can take it out.

Answer #5

wow your really pretty I wouldent because if you dont like it youll have a scar there for the rest of your life, also I just dont like lip pirecings so good luck -nadya<3

Answer #6

=( But…

I SAID I was going to wait till I was out of school…

I SAID I did try a fake one. the 1side hoop looked best.

WHO SAID I go to a school w/ a dress code? my school allows piercings…

Answer #7

well then at 18 you will be legally an adult and they cant stop you from getting a piercing or force you to take it out if you know what looks best on you, get that or try wearing it everyday for the next few years and see if your sick of it by the time your 18 if your school doesnt have a dress code then piercings are allowed there, I come from australia, and pretty much all schools here hace a dress code, I understand a lot of american schools dont
