I don't know if hurts or not, but looks nasty for sure, I wouldn't kiss a girl with one.

None of these are a freaking answer!
Having your lip pierced feels a little bit like biting it. It's a quick pinch followed by a dull ache. I didn't think the piercing itself was too bad, but the swelling afterwards was a bit uncomfortable (though not intolerable). I hit my mouth on a friends head once, and that hurt a hell of a lot worse.
As for the piercing, it goes like this. The piercer will clean the area and probably have you swish your mouth with Listerine. S/he will dry the area and mark it inside and out, and then center a pair of forceps (clamp) on the holes. They will use a hollow, tri-beveled piercing needle (usually 16g, sometimes 14g) to do the piercing. The tip will be aligned with the outside of your lip, and the piercer will ask you to breathe. On your exhale, the piercer will pierce your lip as fast as you can snap your fingers.
The clamp will come off, you'll be sitting there with a needle through your lip. The jewelry, which is the same diameter as the needle will finish pushing the needle out, and then the piercer will attach the other end of your piercing (either a bead for a CBR, or a ball for a barbell / labret stud).
The piercer will clean off the markings and any dribbles of blood or drool, and you'll be good to go.
Keep some advil and ice handy, because your lip will feel bruised and a little swollen for the next three days. I liked holding ice water up to my mouth but not drinking. That made it feel like a million bucks.
In all, the best thing to do if you want quick healing is NEVER touch it with your hands, and resist the urge to move it around and play with it with your tongue, other lip. Worst part - no kissing for a little while, at least until it doesn't hurt any more.
Anyhow... Good luck. I think lip piercings are wonderful, and I hate it when people answer you with meaningless drivel. I hope that this helped.

ok then well just my opinion that since im sort of in love with stripping and sexual things that i wouldnt get my lips pierced but if u want to then no it doesnt hurt compared to an ears peirced i know it hurts more then that a lot more but not to much i think u will survive it as for how they do it they take a needle looking thing and stick it through your lip then they stick the earing through its that simple
