Lip piercing

[Piercinglip]

Anyone had it done? I'm considering getting a lip and nose ring

I had my nose pierced 12 years ago and lip 10 years. I've never been tempted to take them out. Even when I removed them when I was in labour as I was at risk of needing a c section I still made time to get them back in as soon as possible.
Not sure my face would feel them same without them.

I have my lip and nose pierced. The easiest of all my piercings (I have a lot of ear piercings). Lip healed up super fast, just occasionally over the first year it would randomly swell up and be a little painful but nothing horrendous and has been fine since that initial year.

One word of warning. They’ll put a longer bar in to accommodate swelling while the lip heals. Make sure as soon as it’s all healed up you go back and have them switch it for a shorter bar. I didn’t and the number of times I have accidentally bit down on it and chipped my tooth is ridiculous.

Yes i've had a lip piercing central bottom lip, vertical bottom lip a Medusa and a Madonna at various times. What do you want to know?!

I had my lip pierced about 10 years ago. It was my favourite piercing and did not hurt to get done. Unfortunately I had to take it out for work 8 years ago. The scar is still just below my lip and never healed properly.

Are you asking if it looks awful or if it's painful or if it will have an effect on your chances of employment?

Looks awful and chavvy in my opinion, but it's your life and your body.

What are you asking for?

I have no problem with body piercings apart from the nose ones that go through the septum, I can’t even look at them 🤢!

I've got my nose done which i got with a gun at a market stall when I was 13. I know it's classed as an infection breeding grounds these days, but I don't remember anyone caring 13 years ago. Never had any trouble with it and I've never really taken it out.
All 3 of my lip piercings I did myself with a needle when I was 15 (a few months between each one) they did hurt, but a sewing needle probably wasn't a good idea. I used to have to take them out at school and then for work as I've gotten older, they did heal fast, but after years of pushing the stud back through a partially healed hole means they don't heal at all now.
Also now I'm a 26yo SAHM I never take them out and love them as much as I did when I first go them.
But on a side note i have both nipples, 6 in the top of my ears, 4 normal piercings at the bottom and 2 16mm flesh tunnels. So pretty into my piercings anyway.

I have both lip and nose. Had both done in my teens (late 20s now) and only take them out for operations, otherwise they are permanent fixtures.

I remember my nose took longer to heal than my lip but in comparison to other piercings they were both easy enough and have never caused me any trouble.

Sorry, asking if it's painful and about the healing process.

Tbh I'm in two minds whether I should have my lip done, but I'm 100% certain I will have my nose down.

@LankinMcElf you mean the nose piercing?

I have a lip piercing which I took out and never wore again about 14 years ago - unfortunately for me the hole is still there and I can't seem to find any foundation that will cover it.

I had my lip (central lower) and nose pierced when I was younger. I do miss my lip piercing, but I think @ 35 I’m a bit old for it now

I really dislike facial piercings

I loved my lip piercing. Had a little stud. Wasn't too sore but I did catch the bar on my teeth a few times. By the end though the little ball kept falling off which was a bit annoying. Go for it!

I have a medusa, a vertical labret and a septum. 32. Had them done last year - I’m about to start Uni so it doesn’t really matter what my face looks like.

Medusa healed with almost zero pain as did the vertical labret.

Yes Pircinglip I’m ok with the side of the nostril but the ring that looks like a bull’s ring makes me queasy, sorry!

I had three lip piercings over the years and would second WTF’s comment about the bar - I took mine out in the end as I’d chipped my tooth and one of them was rubbing against my gum, making it recede lower down the tooth. I took them out years ago and the holes are still visible if that’s something that bothers you?

That said, I loved having them in and they never caused me any issues in terms of infection, etc. Healed pretty quickly, too.

I never dared get my nose done as I get hay fever so didn’t expect I’d get on well with it.

Over the years I’ve had lip, tongue, ear and nipple piercings, plus various microdermals and lips were easiest to take care of (minus the tooth issue).

I have a nose ring, but it's fourth time lucky. This one has been in and perfect for nearly 5 years all the others ended in disaster. Not particularly painful to have done though.

Had a lip ring but took it out after a few years. Can still see the hole even though I've not had anything in it for about 10 years. Not very painful either. Not compared to the triple helix that's refusing to heal. Or my rook. That hurt, a lot.

Probably not the right thread for you then.
OP I've had a nose piercing for 15 years and it's never given me the slightest bit of bother, even during hay fever times. Nor has it hindered me professionally. Never had a lip piercing though.

Looks awful and chavvy in my opinion

I agree para awful indeed!

My lip stud did chip my two upper front teeth, but after I took it out my NHS dentist fixed them for about £20.

Had my lip pierced when I was 16 and kept my lip ring in til I was about 22. Loved it but unfortunately in my field of work it's a no go. 10 years later I can still see the hole but it doesn't really bother me.

I've had 2- Madonna and labret. Had to take them out as they were causing gum erosion.

I think they can look lovely (I like a subtle sparkle) but as well as the dental points could I point out to be conscious of eating with one?

I’ve only ever seen one person do this but she slurped on her piercing every time she took a bite and it was revolting. Put me off having one done (I’ve had my tongue, eyebrow, nose and various points on my ear over the years).
