How can i peirce my lip without my parents knowing?

Question

i have someone to pierce my lip, dont worry about that, but it would be the same day i would see my parents.
i've asked them time and time again if i can get snakebites, but, they've said they dont want me to have holes in my face. im 16 and im even thinking about just doing it cause honestly i dont care what they think anymore.
but.
i dont want them to be upset with me.
so, i've thought about peircing both sides of my lip and then when i see them say "hey, look at the fake peircings we found at hot topic. you said you didnt want me to have real ones, so i got fake ones, ill just wear them alll the time so they LOOK like real ones!"
and act like they are fake.
but.
i can't wear them to school because my school doesn't allow it.
i've been thinking, maybe i could get nude colored ends to wear?
i dont know.
do you have any ideas?

oh, and im planning to peirce them this christmas break, so ill have like 1 week and half for them to heal.

By the way: im NOT looking for the answer of "just dont do it". im not really asking you to be my ******* parents.

okay, with the answers people have given. im not gunna try to hide them. ill just do it, and when they find out, they find out. ill tell them if i take it out now it will leave a nasty scar, and that since they hold me back from everything, i decided to just go my own road.

i think all my parents would do is yell at me and then my mom would drive to bingo and come back and say "sigh, i guess you can keep them" but, im NOT sure.
what other things would they do?

BESIDES grounding me. because they swore to my sister and i that they wouldnt.
idk, reasons that are dumb.
but, other than that.
what do you think they would do?

Answer 1

If you get one, you have to wait at least a month (if not more) for the piercing to heal or it will immediately close up when you take it out.

Either pierce it and don't try to hide it from them or wait until you're 18.

Remember though, if you take it out before it's healed, it'll close back up AND leave an obvious scar.

If you do get it done and decide you don't want it, let it heal before taking it out. The scarring is much worse if you don't let the tissues heal around it and instnead of a pin prick sized hole in your lip, you'll get a 1 -2 mm sized pock mark.

Edit: They'll probably jump up and down, say a couple of mean things, ground you and even threaten to yank it out...but honestly, I think they'll get over it like you said. Just be prepared to get snarky comments from them in the future. I took all (total of a visible four) of my facial piercings out three freakin years ago and my mother STILL makes offhand remarks to me. My favorite comment from my mother (and other people as well) was, "You know guys don't find that attractive." and my response was "Well, I didn't do it for approval from a MAN. I did it because I wanted to...so it's none of your business. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't talk to me at all!" That made all of the back off...other than my mother. I would suggest doing it during the summer so you have adequate time for it to heal before taking it our as per the rules of your school. Once it heals completely, you can go buy there little acrylic inserts that are practically undetectable to keep it open when you don't want it visible. When I had my hysterectomy I used an acrylic insert in my hood piercing so it wouldn't close up. It worked like a charm...well, until I was all screwed up onthe pain meds and had a devil of a time trying to put the wire back in once I got to recovery.

Please keep in mind that if you want to get two, only get them one at a time because piercings bring on the same endorphins as a tattoo and the crash off of endorphins is wicked...it can also lower your immune system. Get one and then wait at least a week before getting the second one. ALSO make sure that when you get it pierced that they don't angle it too dramatically because it'll rub against your teeth and get sore all of the time. One more thing, like I said before, don't take it out until it's been healed a good month (try to push for more time to heal if you can) and rotate it with a good astringent or disinfectant while it's healing...clean it really good but gently and twist it through your lip til the ball in the front hits your skin then rinse your mouth with diluted listerene a 50/50 mix....then rotate it again and rinse one more time. Ice helps with the healing and you can even get some Chloroseptic (used for sore throats) to spray on the INSIDE only...you can also get something like anbesol to apply to the outside but only use it twice a day max. A gentle pinching massage of your lip right directly above and an an inch all the way around the outside. That will help the piercing by bringing circulation to that area and it'll heal quicker and be less sore. If you are anything like me, it'll take a week to stop being sore, but don't let it fool you....even if it doesn't hurt anymore, it's still in the healing phase. If cleaning with an antibacterial or alcohol wipe, just apply the medicine to a gauze pad and lay it gently over the site. You don't want full strength chemicals on that spot because it can cause a chemical burn so always dilute them with distilled or even boiled water.

Eat ice but NO popsicles!! Sugar will inflame it. Resist the urge to play with it for the first month too! Don't freak if you get oozing of a clear liquid. That's just part of the healing. You will probably get a pocket of pus in there in the form of a cyst and you can gently pop it yourself in the shower by grabbing your lip (one finger in the front on the outside and one on the inside). If it starts to ooze anything yellow, green or brown, that's a sign of infection so get to a doctor IMMEDIATELY!! Clear or a light straw color is normal, so is a pinkish discharge If you get an infection, whatever you do, do NOT take the piercing out. You could graze a capillary and introduce the infection to your blood stream and potentially contract blood poisoning.

It won't hurt getting it done, but for the first couple of days, you'll be irritated from the discomfort. Just hang in there. If it doesn't want to heal within a month, or you still have a reddish color to the site, go get another hoop and put it in, quickly now because you don't want it to close up on you!! Some body modification jewelry has imperfections in the form of tiny barbs and those can cause a LOT of problems.

Good luck! I'm sure you're going to be quite satisfied with the new addition to your face and it will be just lovely!!

Answer 2

There is one way. Run away and never be around your parents again. They'll never know you pierced your lip.

Ask a stupid question- get a stupid answer. You can't hide it. If you can't wear the thing all the time, your lip will heal up, so taking them out all the time won't work. You really think nude colors will hide it? Give me a break. You have a choice: don't do it or get in trouble. That's it.

Answer 3

Yeah here's the thing: (a) you're lip WILL swell for a while after getting it pierced. You can't hide that part - not even possible. (b) Nude colored studs? Are you kidding me? They are pieces of metal sticking out of your face - regardless of color, they will be noticed. I know this because I attempted the same with a tiny stud in my nose for a work issue a few years back. (c) You don't care what they think anymore AND you don't want them upset with you? Confused ....

Just calm down on the needing your lip pierced thing. I mean, yes, I have it done and I reallllly like it, but you've got a few too may factors working against you here.

Answer 4

It takes longer than a week and a half to heal. Something tells me this "they are fake" thing won't work too well especially b/c the surrounding area will be quite red for a little while. You can't take out the piercings for 6 weeks b/c that's about how long it takes for them to heal. If you can't have piercings at home or at school, I'd say it's a waste of time.

Answer 5

Face piercings don't heal immediately, especially lip piercings because of moisture and bacteria, etc. And, if you have to take them out for school, they're going to close up. Piercings like that take several months to fully heal. I'd just wait until you are out of school (since they don't allow it). And parents aren't stupid. They'll notice you're talking different (since you'll probably be a little swollen), and they'll probably just yank them out (since you're going to tell them they're fake, and they'll say "Oh, really? Then this won't bother you." Yank!). Wait until you're 18, because you do obviously care what you're parents think, or else you wouldn't be worried about them being upset with you.

Answer 6

Ummm most places that you should go to, to get a piercing require an adult signature if you are under 18. If they don't, then you don't want to be going there. So suck it up and wait until you are 18.

Answer 7

Hi there,
Parents dont like it and wont allow it...
School also does not permit it...
Still you want to go ahead with that...
But why...?
what for ?
what you are going to get by hurting own parents feelings and by breaking the rules of the school ?
if I had been in your position, I would have waited for couple of years more...
anyway, best wishes...

Answer 8

nude colored ones will not look invisible, sorry to say. you'll still see them. wait until you're 18. what happens when your parents say "okay well can you take them out for right now?" then what? it's just not a good idea. don't do it. parents are not stupid and anyway it will be obvious that they're real.

Answer 9

If you don't want your parents to see that you gave a pierced lip, I would recommend no doing it. I'm not sure there is anyway to hide that one. Your parents are older not stupid, they'd figure it out.
Also, if you care about them getting upset with you, then you care what they think about you.

Answer 10

I'm pretty sure there's no way to hide facial piercings... unless you tried getting a clear plastic stud or something...
