Lip piercings can be placed anywhere around the mouth, but usually, the surface of the lip (the red part) is not pierced. The usual is done in the lower lip.
Most lip piercings have the potential to damage both teeth and gums if proper jewelry is not worn, or if the placement of the individual piercing is poor. Labret piercings can result in gum erosion over time, but lip rings do not touch the gums. A home-made saline solution is a common way to heal a lip piercing and avoid infection. Combine 1/8 tsp. sea salt to 1 cup of warm water. This solution can be used to rinse out the mouth after eating and to soak the outside of the piercing using a cotton ball. Anything with alcohol, peroxide, iodine, or any strong soaps should be avoided because they may irritate the fresh piercing, and cause additional swelling and trauma. During the healing process, kissing should be avoided to prevent infection.

technically, the monroe is not a lip piercing, cuz it`s higher up, a bit away from the mouth...as long as u take care of your piercing properly, including following the after-care procedures, u shouldn`t have problems...i have both a monroe & a lip piercing (in the middle) & i didn`t have any problems at all...

get it done at the bottom side,lip peircings can get infected easily becuase that is wheree you eat and drink ,somefood could get stuck in you perircing when you get it done normally you have to put a plaster on it for a period of time until the peircing heals up and they can give you special sprays that help protect it from erms,hope this helps n bye!

well you have to think about it because if it gets infected it will leave a scar and you may not like it i would go for somewhere like your ear or nose try it or get a fake gem to see what it would look like?
