Lip Piercings

The more pictures I see of people with their lip pierced the more facinated I am by that piercing. I always thought it looked great on that guy from Blink 182 (forgive me for not knowing his name) as I would stare at his lips whenever he came on screen.

It's so sexy how it draws your eye to the mouth. It kind of teases you in that it gets closer than many people can even hope to get sorta way. Especially through a nice pair of full, red lips.

My words are failing me miserably.

Anyhoo...I've grown a whole new appreciation for them.

Yeah, piercings can definitely be sexy!

The lip piercing's the only one I've ever considered... But in the end, it sounds like a pain in the ass those first few weeks, and I'm impatient.

tom delonge! he WAS sexy with that thing.

i think it looks way hot on boys and girls. i personally do not want any piercings, nor do i need my lips accentuated any more.

I think they're hot. I want one, but I'm afraid that they'd freak out at work.

Precisely why I don't have one already. I get away with my eyebrow piercing pretty much because between my glasses and my bangs it often goes unnoticed.

I'm with TANK_Ex_Mortis on the length of time it takes to heal only it's not a matter of patience. If it healed pretty quickly I'd be able to take it out at the office, but alas.

I'll have to be pierced vicariously through the images of others. *sigh*

I've considered getting a tight hoop on either the left or right side of my lower lip.

I'm unsure how this will effect my professional life, but I'll probably never get it done. I don't think I have a very piercing-friendly face.

my s/o has a really small vert. labret, they are the coolest piercings because they don't screw with your gums or teeth and stuff, unless you are dead set on a hoop, consider the vert labret, they are hawt!

I've always wondered do those hoops hurt when you eat? What does it feel like?


Does everyone posting this thread wear glasses?

The first thing I ever got done was my lip ring, and its still probably my favourite piercing. I've never had a problem with it at work or any of my mods, and was told by my union rep that any problem people may have with them apart from health and safety are discrimination.

Lip piercings are cool. I just had trouble eating for first few days and continuously had problems with forks for the first two weeks. Yeah I am not very coordinated with forks.

I agree with SuicideBomb. I had my lip pierced for about 3 years and I thought it was my easiest piercing. I was eating regular food about 2 days later and the healing process was pretty fast. Although everyone heals at a different pace.

I lip piercings. Especially Roxy's.

it is weird the first day, or it was for me. It felt like i had something caught on my lip. It is my favourite piercing, I want to get the other side done soon. I love mine.

Yes I have glasses, but only for reading.

piercings on the sides of the lip = pure sex
piercings @ the center = confusion

is it a labret...or a lip...or both? *confuzzled*

edit: glasses at the moment, but usually contacts

I like 'em in the middle. That's where I'd want one, right in the fattest part of my lip. Yum.

Oh, and glasses usually, but contacts at the moment.

I got my lip pierced a few weeks ago.
It's good times. Girls like it.

I have my lip pierced in the center, but I don't wear a ring, I like my little spike. I went out to eat about half an hour after getting it and it was totally no big deal.

me too! I love my lip piercing, can't wait to get the other side done

I luv mine!!

I used to do the same thing eveytime I would see someone with a lip ring, I would get all tingly in all the right places. Fortunately I have that everyday since my hubby has his lip pierced. yippy!

edited to add...I love my lip ring too!

I've had 3 lip piercings, and none healed completely. They would get irritated after long makeouts, and after having one out for 8 hours it closed enough to not be able to put the ring back in. So I took 'em all out.

How long had you had them? You should not be making out with anyone til they heal completely like 6 months or so.
