lip pierce

Hey I am thinking of getting a lip pierce. Not sure if I want a stud or ring. does it hurt a lot? leave a scar? any thoughts/tips are welcome.

I've had my lip pierced 3 times. If you do it, depending on what side or in the middle, I would recommend a ring first because it does swell and the bar doesn't give much room for swelling. You can always put a bar in after it heals.

I had to on the right side of my lip, there is a scar but I am the only one who knows it's there.

I now have it in the middle of my lip like this

THe way I have it pierced now didn't swell too much. On the side it did the first time. It swelled so bad you couldn't even see the jewelry which only made the healing process longer.

No they did a good job, but you have to keep in mind that everyone heals differently with piercings just like anything else. I'm just a sweller.
