Question:

Want to get lip piercing or scaffolding, advice please?

Okay so I want to get either done, I just want to know which one is more painful. Not felling that nervous because I have had my nose and tongue done. I want to know which one is more painful and how to clean each of them. And also with the lip, is it more like the tongue with what foods you can eat and how hard it is to eat?

Answer:

The lip is an interesting piercing. The person doing your piercing will clamp you lip, causing a mild discomfort to distract you and guide the needle and ring in, takes less than a minute. Virtually painless, unless your pain threshold is sensitive. Also, if you get a monroe (left upper lip) or madonna (right upper lip), it would vary from a medusa (center middle lip) because that us where the skin is the thickest. Lower lips piercings are about the same. You start of with a longer laret ring for two weeks to compensate for swelling than get a normal one. It is going inside your mouth so be careful how you chew. m Clean the inside of your mouth after every time you eat with a non alcohol mouth rinse or saltwater rinse. As for the outside take some warm water and non iodized salt and gently twist the labret while using a q tip to gently clean around it.
Everyone is different as far as what piercings they think hurt more or less, but based on my own experience, I'd say the scaffolding hurt more by far. Now, I've never had my lower lip pierced, but I had my upper lip area (I used to have angel bites), so I'd image it would have to be similar to the lower lip as far as pain, care, healing. As far as cleaning them, it's like most other piercings, where the best thing for you to use is warm sea salt water. But although everyone's different, the lip is going to be the faster healing of the two I'd say for basically anyone. The scaffolding takes up to a year to fully heal. The lip heals relatively fast;usually anything involving your mouth area heals quicker than other areas of the body-I'm sure you noticed how your tongue healed fast. Or even if you accidentally bite or cut anything involving your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheeks, etc., it heals faster than other areas. As far as the foods other aftercare with it, it is somewhat similar to your tongue in caring for it-just follow your piercer's instructions you'll be fine. Good luck!
