Lip ring holes perminent?

Question

just got a lipring

is the hole forever? or should i lose it now?

and if its forever? how visible is it?

Answer 1

Its like a small freckel when u take it out

Answer 2

no, the hole heals after some time. my ex roommate got lip ring at the center of lip for two years and then she took it out. i don't know how much time it took for the hole to heal, but once i met her and she was without the piercing and i could see a little mark under her lip, but i doubt some stranger would notice such a mark without knowing there was a piercing before.

Answer 3

Well it depends.

Just like when you get your ear pierced and have it for a few years then later decide to remove the ear piercing. The holes for some people on there ears close, for some people it doesn't.

With lip rings,I think it's like that too. For me it closed up after having for 3 years but there will be a little scar.

I guess if you don't want a hole to be there and would like it to close I suggest not playing around  with your lip ring too much. Yeah it's okay to change the ring/labret a few times but I guess don't mess around with the different sizings, otherwise you'll stretch your holes. It'll be a little harder for the hole to go back to it's original size.

Answer 4

i had my lip pierced for 2 years and i haven't worn anything in it for about a year and a half now. it's a tiny scar and it's slightly indented but nothing a little bit of make-up doesn't cover. it's not noticeable from a distance, people can only notice it properly if they're very close to me.

Answer 5

Probably not forever, but the longer you keep it, the harder it will be to heal closed.

Answer 6

well actually the singer of lostprophets, Ian Watkins, had 1 then he decided to take it out. it is a bit visible i think only if some1 is close 2 ur face.,

you can kinda see it if u look closely.

Answer 7

Lose it now dear.  

A number of reasons:

1.  The rubbing of the metal on your teeth cause the enamel on your teeth to wear twice as fast (at least) and will eventually lead to gum disease and tooth loss.

2.  The scaring is permanent.  When your skin begins to lose collagen as you age, the hole can become more prominent and unsightly.

Answer 8

depends on how long uv had it in

Answer 9

If you lose the piercing now, the hole will close up.  The longer you keep the jewelry in the longer it will stay open.  But if you decide to take it out later on, the hole will shrink and almost completley close. It will only be barely visible.
