I did it with a large sterilized needle and had no problems. it didnt hurt that badly or even bleed much and it healed fine. i pierced the lowerleft side of my lip. however, if anything you use is not competely sterile the risk for infections increases greatly and scars are permanent! you can also pierce the wrong place and end up hurting yourself or nicking something, or piercing in a place that wont heal correctly, may migrate or be rejected by your body. its much safer and results are more likely to be satisfactory if you have it done professionally. but if your up for the risks....just make sure EVERYTHING is completely sterile and rinse after eating and before bed with Listerine Antiseptic. it is NOT the kind with alcohol in it. DONT use any alcohol based mouthwashes or rubbing alcohol. it dries the area out and restricts blood flow. also the H2O after piercing spray would be worth purchasing and using 3-6 times a day to remove the crust the forms on the outside. don t play with it or touch it and wash your hands regularly if you have to touch it. if you cant afford piercing spray or find the Antiseptic Listerine without alcohol then use warm saltwater.
No it is not safe to pierce your own lip. there is also no way to sterilize any equipment, unless you have tons of money to throw down on an auto clave. So no, it is not. No ifs and or buts, its not don't do it. If its worth doing its worth going to a professional.
Don't do it yourself. Go to a person who knows how. This is not something you want to do wrong because it could ruin your lip for the rest of your life. But if you were to pierce it yourself pierce it from the outside going in.
If I were you, I'd go to a professional, but make sure you go to someone recommended or else they might use dirty needles, etc. ----------------------- There is no "safe" way to pierce your own lip. If you are hell bent on doing it yourself then I would recommend lots and lots of research and you're going to spend more to do it right at home than you would if you were having it done professionally.
To get a ring in your lip.
yea, but it would look wierd, (depending on how big it is)
No.
No

Yes. You can do irreparable damage to your lip muscles and tendons piercing your own lip. i heard that you can, bit i did mine 4 times myself and it all turned out fine. just be careful i guess.
I'd say until your lip is fully healed, and the hole is closed. Better to be safe then sorry =)
I'd say so :) #SelfPiercer
you don't. go see a professional. and it will still swell some.
yes yes
