Piercing your lip by yourself is it safe to use ice?
You should not self-pierce your lip as it requires proper technique, proper equipment, and also you need to keep everything sanitary. But if you have already done this by yourself then I would say that you can use ice because using ice is considered the best method for healing lip piercing. You can place an ice pack directly on the swollen area for some time and repeat this for a couple of times to get rid of the swelling. If you are facing any kind of major issue then you must consult a professional without wasting any time.
If you have an 18 gauge for a lip piercing when you switch it out can you use a 16 gauge instead?
Yes, but you would be streching the hole, like people stretch their ears.
What should I do if I pierced my lip with an 18 gauge and not a 16 or 14?
Wait about a month before you stretch it up. Use surgical steel and not acrylic. 18ga-14ga is pretty easy so you shouldn't need tapers or tape. And never ever pierce yourself again ;)
