scared to get my lip pierced!

What's that?


I just need to walk in, once I'm in the parlour there's no going back! I just overthink things ha

I'm not quite sure why, but whenever someone makes a post about piercing/tattoos a load of idiots come and tell the OP not to do it for some ridiculous reason, if you don't have anything useful to say just pass the thread by.

The best method I know of for reducing the pain of piercings is, in all honesty, just feeling comfortable with your surroundings. I'm pretty lucky in that I am quite good friends with the piercer and tattooists at the shop I go to so I normally spend like 20 mins sat around having a cuppa and a chat before getting down to business.

Well you already have a pierced hole, right. Instead of an earring you can put a lip disc if you are feeling you are up to it.

Yeah, I completely trust the place I'm going to (same place as I got my other lip piercings done) it's just the build up and the clinical-ness of it (which obvs is important for hygiene but adds to nerves!) I think what I really need is someone to come with me, but being home for the holidys, there's no one about



I don't know what the lip disc is? There's no longer a hole there, just a scar where it once was - it's very much healed over :/

In that case it's not worth to do it if it's healed. You can think of lip disc as a big earring that stretches the hole a bit. Like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Woman_with_labret_piercing_and_stretched_earlobe.jpg

Aha, so like a taper? I wish I had thought of this when it first fell out because I even had a taper set from when I first started to stretch my lobe piercing...<br />
Ah well, just phyching myself up now, gonna (hopefully) get the bus soon and get it over with!

jesus its not that bad
