Well let's get something straight you don't pierce your own lip. You leave that to a professional body piercer to do in a licensed and inspected facility. There is way too much that can go wrong when you try to do piercings yourself, you haven't got the equipment, or the knowledge to do a piercing correctly. Besides that if you screw up (and you will screw up) you leave a mess that a professional body piercer may not want to deal with. Think about it.
improved: actuallyyy ... you may OR may not screw up. my friend pierced her own lip, she did a monroe. it turned out great. she didnt use a clamp and she did it with a giant safety pin AND she used an earring to seal it . so no its not a must.

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.
