How can you pierce your lip without it hurting or numbing it?

Answer 1

Piercing your lip generaly should not hurt, I have had mine done 3 times, and none by a professional, just use a propper needle and clean the area before and after piercing, it will crust up, and you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting an infection, but if you clean it at least twice a day, you should be fine. So enjoy your piercing :)

*If it's your first, other than ear, piercing, then you may wish to get a professional, in which case, ask to see their health certificts!!! and more importantly, make sure you see them taking the needle out of the previously un-opened needle, if it has been opened previously, LEAVE! *

Answer

WELL THERE IS ALWAYS HAVING IT DONE BY A DOCTOR OF SOME SORT THAT CAN USE AN ANESTHESIA TO NUMB THAT AREA OF YOUR MOUTH WHILE THEY PIERCE IT OR YOU CAN ASK THE PIERCER (HOPEFULLY PROFESSIONAL) IF THEY HAVE A WAY TO NUMB IT OR AT LEAST TAKE YOUR MIND OFF OF IT WHILE IT IS BEING DONE.

Answer

First of all, piercings hurt. You are getting a needle jabbed through your skin, its going to hurt.

When I got my lip, it didn't really hurt until the jewelry was going in. When the needle goes through its like a sharp pain, then my face got hot.

My face gets hot when I get any piercing, ears, brows, and lip. I don't know if its just me or if its normal.

Some places I know will numb a tongue for the piercing, I'm not sure about other. There are places on the internet you can buy numbing cream, though.

Answer

To be honest, my lip didn't hurt at all when I had it done, because it's only 16 gauge, which is pretty small. I barely felt the needle go through and it definitely wouldn't be worth numbing. So even if you want a thicker gauge than that but don't want the pain, get a thin one done and then stretch it.

If you want the piercing that much, pain shouldn't be a problem anyway, but I swear down it didn't hurt as the needle was so fine, and it did not feel like a needle goin through my lip at all! Bit sore now (3 days after) but not as sore as my earlobes were.

ANSWER

I numbed mine, but it got infected and i had to let it grow up.So, go get it done .

Another Answer!

when i got mine done, not so long back, my piercer put some numbing agent on the inside of my lip where i was getting it done, and on the outside.

The outside bit hurt a little bit cos the numbing stuff dribbled, lol, obviously, but even so it only felt like a little pin prick.

MY ANSWER!

i've done this 5 times. it does not hurt. you always have to start on the inside. numb it with origel or ice. and even if you don't numb it, it still won't hurt really.

it only hurts to start on the outside. it also hurts when you have pierced through each layer and you're about to reach the outer layer. but ALWAYS clean the needle with peroxide or alcohol before you start.

wipe your lip with peroxide or alcohol also before starting. you can use a safety pin or a sewing needle if you want to. do it slowly and don't just shove it in. that would make it hurt. make sure you are doing it in the right spot or you could strike a blood vessel. it might squirt out puss and if you do it in the wrong spot, it will bleed.

if you do it in the right spot, it will ooze puss. a harder part is getting it out. it might swell up for two minutes if it is not infected. it will look like a bee sting but go down really really quick. maybe in three minutes. but to give you a heads up, the needle has to be wider at the top than it is at the point. that will make the whole wide enough for a ring. the hole will close in a few seconds if you don't hurry to put a ring in.

DO NOT CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL. Yeash. It's the worst thing to do. If you're going to do it, do it right. Get a sterilized needle. Don't use a sewing needle, or a safety pin. Trust me. I have my lip pierced four times, and I did it with a safety pin. Dumbest thing I've ever done.

The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.

Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.

The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Answer 2

You can pierce your lip without it hurting by using a numbing cream. You should put the cream on at least an hour before you get pierced so that it has enough time to numb your lips. If you do not have access to numbing cream, there are other ways of numbing your lips such as chewing some ice or biting into a lemon. Get Link: torontobrowshop.ca
