Question

going to get my lip pierced tomorrow.and I have a few questions to be answered before I go.

1.how much does it cost?

2.does the price of the piercing include jewlery you need or do you have to pay extra?

3.do you have a choice of a ring or a stud?

4.do they numb it?

5.how much does it swell because I'm getting it after school on friday and I'll go back on tuesday is that enough time for it to go down?

6.what aren't you allowed to eat?

7.how do you clean it?

that's all I can think of to ask but if you think of anything that I should know about please tell .

I'm thinking about getting a vertical labret

Answer 1

1) the price varies, I paid 25 pounds but that was year ago.

2) again, i think it depends, but every time i got a piercing it always included a bog standard ring/stud.

3) i think they prefer you to use a stud to help with the healing process.

4) yes, they did with me, but some people prefer not to numb whilst piercing because it can sometimes cause infection. don't worry though, they didn't numb my belly and it was so quick that i hardly noticed.

5) yes, it should go down by then. my lip hardly swelled at all.

6) you can eat whatever you feel comfortable eating.

7) i cleaned mine with alcohol which they sell at the piercing shop, just dip some cotton buds in it and wipe around it. i also used a medicated mouth wash.

good luck! just relax and let the dude do his stuff! it really won't hurt.

Answer 2

I'm getting mine done tomorrow too :D

and it's roughly £20-25 it includes the jewellary they give you a choice :) and a choice of mm e.g 1.2mm will leave less scarring that 1.6mm

they dont numb it but it doesnt hurt that much you can eat jsut be very careful clean it with the cleaning solution they offer you and with a clean cotton bud and if you clean it well the swelling shoudl go down

dont clean it to often though as that kills natural good bacteria and it willincrease infection

I know i'm probably not 100% sure but i hope i helped
