I like lippiercings and I want to take one myself, though I'm carefully considering it. I know I won't wear it for life. I've already talked about it with my parents and they don't like it though my mom is agreeing now I exactly explained why and how. But she and my dad don't like it anyway and I can imagine why they hate it, I'm after all their daughter and it can influence my health if I do not take good care of it (it is no radical action to rebel against them, I love them).
And darksyndrem; I strongly advice you to really talk it over with your parents, it's a form of respect too you know. Just wait 'till you're 18 years old so you can make the decision as an adult, but still think about your parents.

If you compare piercings to tattoos, you can take out the piercing if it wont fit, and let it heal. Sometimes the healing period varies, but a piercing will always heal. If you want to try it, go for it! If you think you dont fit in it, you can always take it off. :)

After reading this thread for an secound time I just remember something imoportant that relates to Jobs and piercings.

They will effect what Job you may be able to get. Overall they have an bad image when it comes to holding or getting an job. Employers (most) want people who are going to present the least hostile presence ( a lot of people just don't know how to deal with someone with viewable facial piercings) if your going to work with public. Now you can get an job with piercings it is going to get much harder though with facial piercings (the more you have the harder it becomes). Even then if your just working in the background the employer could decide your would be to much of an risk of getting into an accident on the floor with facial piercings. Now these could be scenario that could come up, but in this post they serve to show you of how having facial piercings could affect your ability to hold down an Job.

Maybe it just depends. If it looks good with the piercing, maybe they will hire you easier. If it looks bad with the piercing, or dont fit in, maybe its harder. But generally it might be harder, but that all depends on where you have it.

Might be right, but maybe he can just take off the piercing on the job interview then put it back. :P

Think about it....
 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
oh moy gosh Oz...
i'm in fits!! XD

I know people who had nose piercings/other piercings and left their earing/earings out for two days and the hole healed.
But lip rings do leave a little hole (unless you get a huge lip ring then you would have a big hole:D )

That sounds scary:eek:

I like the tiger man's teeth... Can't say the same for the rest of the people..

ive never had any bad infections in my 1/2" gauged ears or my lip, all of which i did myself. and everybody told me the worst was going to happen blah blah blah. maybe i just know what im doing and im not a complete moron when it comes to hygiene. people need to relax, piercings arent the end of the world

haha i know someone that drinks water than shoots it out of his lip hole [for fun] 0.0 not attractive...you know what i was wondering tho...i want to get an UPPER LIP piercing together with the bottom...but does such a thing exist [excuse my old english] anyways, yeah i also want sort of a 'nose bridge' piercing but i want it lower and through the bone, not skin [again, does such a thing exist]??

edit: i mean a upper lip, not the one where the mustache is supposed to go
no, i do not have a mustache

Through the bone? Are you totally out of your mind? O.o Do you know you need surgery to do that? And the health complications....I don't even think it can be done.....

No you can't be serious, why am I taking everything so seriously....

I don't think anyone looks better with a facial piercing.

Actually they do not always heal. Commonly they do, but it depends a great deal on how it heals, where the piercing is and the specific body. Sometimes the hole becomes permanent. I have seen it happen with ear lobes, noses, lips and a few other less visible places. Of course the dang belly button piercing on the other hand has a good chance of migrating completely off you body.

Yes, the upper lip can be pierced easily. Of course, if they hit the right nerve the lip may not smile the same way anymore.

As for the nose piercing - it isn't bone, its all cartiledge, and as such it can be pierced. but i hope you are really into major pain. I have a friend who has had almost every kind of piercing you have ever read about (and some you may not have). He still says the pain of having his nose done was the worst of all and if he had even the slighlest inkling of how bad it would hurt, he would never have done it. Just be sure you get the best expert you can if you want to go that deep in that area. A mistake could have serious consequences.

my friend had a her lip peirced the other day and said that a fake peircing never prepares you for the real thing at all

I don`t think that anyone on here is saying the worst WILL happen. They`re saying that the worst CAN happen, and that you`d be crazy not to at least THINK about the possible downside to a piercing. If nothing goes wrong, great. But everyone is going to think you`re an idiot if something does and you are shocked and say "I had no idea something like this could happen!!"

i meant my family and close friends said it would. and i know of the possibilities. but since i know to use sterile equipment they didnt. people who get infections either are allergic to certain things or arent hygenic

I thought you'd like that;)
