Piercing My Lip?

Question

I'm Considering Piercing My Lip, When My Brother Takes Me To Get My Ears Done. My Problem Is, I Dont Know What My Family At Home Will Say. My Mom Would Be Fine With It. But I'm Not Sure What My Aunt Would Think. Would It Be Polite To Ask Her Opinion? Or Just Go For It. Me And My Aunt Go Out With Her Friends To The Library And Stuff, Every Saturday, They're Older Ladies, I Dont Want To Make My Aunt Look Bad... ?

I've Already Done A Fake Lipbret, To Show My Mom How Good It Will Look. She Approves, And My Aunt Saw It Once, In The Pict I Sent My Dad Asking His Permission. She Said It Looked Good. My Boss Approves Too. And So Do My Co-workers, I Got All THe Ends Tied Up. I Just Dont Want To Upset My Aunt...

I'm Sure I Want To Do This, But If My Aunt Dissaproves, I'll Wait Untill I Move Out/

Local Laws Say I Can Pierce It. I'm Going To A Tat/Body Piercing Shop. My Bro Is Legally Able To Take Me, Local Laws Say 16yo+ I Could Go By Myself For THe Piercing. But My Bro Is Paying For It, (Birthday Present). No Guns They Suck. Too Many Of My Friends Have Had a Bad Pierce Because Of The Guns.

I Know The Piercer, and His Work. He's Done All Of My Bro's Piercings, As Well As My Moms And A Lot Of My Friends/Bro's Friends. He Keeps His Shop Clean. And Uses New Equip For Every Pierce. I Know The Risks, And What Can Happen If I Forget To Clean It. I'm Not Worried About Pain, I Have A Truely High Pain Tolerance.

Cat Lover: I Love Your Answer. Its As Close To what My Aunt Would Say. Heh Fortunatly I'm Working My Way To About 7-8 Holes In Each Ear. Work Isnt a Problem. I'm A Farm Hand, And Am Studying To Become A Tax Preparer. I Have Jobs Lined Up Nomatter What Happens. I Dont Want To Sound Cocky, Or Anything, But This Wont Effect My Work Life.

Answer 1

MOST older people don't like to see this. I don't know your aunt, but she and her friends probably wouldn't like it either. I know you are going to get answers telling you to go for it. But they will be pretty much kids your own age.

Why detract from your appearance by having something stocking out of your lip? And are you absolutely sure it's okay with you mom?

What about when you apply for a job? There are a lot of places that wouldn't hire you. Or if they did, they'd make you take it out at work. Think about that!

If you have to have more holes in your head, consider double piercing your ears. My youngest granddaughter has double piercings and they look fine. There are so many cute earrings out there, and they can ADD to your looks, not take away.

I love horses, too!

-------------------------

Added later! You have to do what you feel is right. I was just giving you my opinion, and what MOST older people think. And I was also thinking of the future. You are very young, and might feel different 10 years from now.

I'm glad to see you are a hard-working girl. Working on a farm isn't an easy job. And if you are working with horses, they sure don't care what you look like! They only care about how you treat them.

So,--- great if your present employers don't mind the piercings. But think about the future when you become that tax preparer. You will be working with all kinds of clients, and some might not trust you to be serious if you have too many holes! LOL Again, just thinking as an older woman. However, I really do remember what it was like to be your age, and how much I wanted to do some things!

Good luck with your studies! I HATE doing my taxes! LOL

Answer 2

Its labret, not lipbret.

How old are you? If you aren't 18, your brother is not going to pass off well for a parent/guardian. If you are under 18, your mother will have to go in with you for the pierce. I also hope you don't get your ears pierced at Claires with some cheap gun. That is the WORST way to pierce ANY part of a human body. Go to a professional, get it done correctly. It doesn't hurt much and as long as you take care of it in 3-6 months it'll be healed and you can take it out when you have to see your family and put it back in later.

If you are REALLY that concerned about what they will think, ask them and tell them to be honest. If you are worried they won't like it, you can always take it out and let it heal. If you can't get it done now, wait and if the desire is still there, go for it.

Answer 3

I think it depends on how much you believe your aunt will be affected by the piercing and what kind of relationship you have with her. If you are both honest and open with one another then asking her shouldnt be a problem. I think if you ask her she would consider that very polite of you and it would probably make her feel good that her opinion matters so much to you. And just remember that they arent permanent you can remove it within a few days of having it and it should heal up nicely with minimal to no scarring. Just make sure you ask your piercer lots of questions and take a good look at his/her portfolio and ask to see their sterilization room and where they keep there tools. Cleanliness is next to godliness! :)

Answer 4

It sounds like you wouldn't feel comfortable because of what other people might think. If you're not gonna feel comfortable with it then don't get it. It looks alright. I don't think it looks very attractive. But if you do, I think a little diamond stud would look cute.

You should get you a tiny one and see what your family might say. If they don't mind then you can change it out to were it would be more noticeable.

Answer 5

It might be polite to ask your aunt but I think you're asking us now because you know what she will say. If you're young enough to be able to do it without it interfering with responsibilites like work appearance than you totally should. Do the edgier things while you can and embrace life before you get to the point where you you're too old to do it.

Answer 6

If you are concerned your aunt will be bothered, ask her. If I were your aunt I would think it's okay so long as your mother also said it's okay, but not everyone is into that sort of thing. Ask your aunt if you value her friendship.

Answer 7

This is your choice. Lip rings are hot. They give a girl or indeed a guy an edge. the ladies you see with your aunt may think your a modern young girl and there is nothing hotter than that.

Answer 8

Just do it. It's cool that you are taking everyone else into consideration, but ultimately you are the one who will have to live with it. My best friend just had hers done. It looks hot. Be safe, good luck.

Answer 9

I would really give it some thought 10 years from now you will wish you didn't have your lip pierced and then your left with a scar on your face for life.

Answer 10

Its YOUR body, and your PARENTS said it OK so whats the problem? Not to sound mean.....but hey its your life, your body, and your choices. Everyone must leap out of the nest sooner or later. Like I said....not being mean, this is just the way life is. You cant please everyone at all times. Good Luck w/ ur decision.
