Nothing, go to a professional. If you cannot answer this question for yourself off the top of your head you don't need to be piercing yourself and if you do you risk serious injury, ailment and possible death.
Don't do it yourself. Go to a person who knows how. This is not something you want to do wrong because it could ruin your lip for the rest of your life. But if you were to pierce it yourself pierce it from the outside going in.
A 16 gauge or 14 gauge are the most common for lip piercings.
To get a ring in your lip.
yea, but it would look wierd, (depending on how big it is)
Nope. They just pierce it. Anything they could use to numb your lip would cause it to swell up, making it hard to pierce you accurately. Besides, it doesn't hurt very much.
No

No.
Yes. You can do irreparable damage to your lip muscles and tendons piercing your own lip. i heard that you can, bit i did mine 4 times myself and it all turned out fine. just be careful i guess.
The people at Claire's will not pierce lips. They only pierce lobes and, at some locations, the cartilage of your ear. They use piercing guns instead of needles, and the guns cannot be used on the lip.
Generally a 14g for a male your lip/labret, and 16g for a female lip/labret or monroe, madonna, medusa piercing.
If I were you, I'd go to a professional, but make sure you go to someone recommended or else they might use dirty needles, etc. ----------------------- There is no "safe" way to pierce your own lip. If you are hell bent on doing it yourself then I would recommend lots and lots of research and you're going to spend more to do it right at home than you would if you were having it done professionally.
