Alrighty, well i’m planning on piercing my lip when I get the money and needle and stuff to do it. I know it’s a pretty dumb idea…but yeah…. any tips on placement and ring size and stuff?

Nope…Sorry the “Piercing For Dummies” booklet isn’t scheduled to come out until 2012, but then the Mayan Calendar will come to pass and the world will die a horrible horrible death.

Oh I’m sorry that was for the last caller…Ok…I’m getting something…Its vague right now, just hold on….Ok, got it! You will die a horrible horrible death!

The reality is without being visibly capable of inspecting your lips, your gums and teeth,etc nobody will be able to provide you with any adequate answers.

The reality is properly done piercings ARE NOT SUPER EASY (Although quite often people will claim it is), they do require specially trained eye to know what placement is ideal, what gauge jewelry to use as well as length,etc.

My advise to you is to not spend the money on buying the stuff yourself (needle, jewelry, surgical prep,etc,etc,etc) because the reality is after you pay for all that, you might as well have gotten it done at a professional studio.

Now by saying that though also know I am not 100% AGAINST DIY piercings, just wanted to make that clear. My advise to you is that if you are insistent on doing the piercing yourself, is to visit a reputable studio and discuss with the piercer the concept of them assisting you doing the piercing. This means you’ll be in a studio with a trained professional capable of handling any and all situations that may occur. As well as they will be able to help you and show you how exactly to do the procedure yourself, and be able to use the proper jewelry size/type,etc. The only difference is when it comes time to pass the needle through the body and insert the jewelry, it’ll be you doing it and not the piercer.
