Actually it's based on the lip size of the person requesting the piercing. Now there are recommended gauges* (*this is the thickness of the ring) generally 16G or 18G for women and 14G or 16G for men.
yes you can. i have a lip ring and the person i kiss barely notices it. the size of the lip ring makes a difference. if it is large it might get in the way.
The ring is scaled (sized) to your lip, it's not a one size fits all affair. Your professional body piercer will assist you in selecting a ring that will suit your lip. Be aware that your lip will swell so the ring must allow for swelling.

if you have an old barbie or brat bracelet. snip a good size piece off that depends on the size of your lip. slip the almost circle on your lip!
The diameter of a lip ring is based on the actual size of the lip. Not all people are created equally and therefore the sizes can vary greatly from one person to another.
Lip rings range in size from 20 gauge (the smallest) to 14 gauge (the largest). Sixteen-gauge is considered a "normal" size lip ring. The piercer will usually start with a lip ring that is slightly larger to accommodate the swelling that will naturally occur as a result of the piercing process. Once healing has occurred, the wearer can change the size of the lip ring to either a smaller or larger one.
It is better to start off with a normal piercing (just like spikes), since your lip will firstly try to heal and will get bigger. If you start off with a ring there's a risk that when you lip get bigger the ring will stuck in it since the lip will have limited space to expand. It is recommended to switch to the ring a month after you started using the piercing.
Safest spot for a lip ring is nowhere, you could get an infection which could be dangerous. For personal looks, on the side of your lip has the most attention for lip ringers.
Depends on the size of the ring. I had a 14 gauge in my lip and you can not see a scar. on the inside of the lip i can feel where it used to be but small. outside is not seen since i have a goatee but if it does yu can barely see it.
Mr. Kaulitz's looks to be about a 14g
Yes it's called a lip ring.
Lip ring is not a compound word.
