Oh and one last thing, although the piercer shoudl have told you this. Clean it regularly while it's still healing. Use salt water; it doesn't taste very nice but just swill it around your mouth...hot salt water is best too apparently. Just don't swallow cos that shit is nasty.iForget2Sleep said:No no man, it was fine. I just assumed that you were against peircings for some reason... Pretty stupid of me... >< And I understand that pain man! Has happened to me on New Vegas too... ;\
Yeah man, I got given an aftercare sheet with how to take care of it, and I actually have an empty cup with a little bit of salt in and a spoon at the ready! Haha.Tips_of_Fingers said:Oh and one last thing, although the piercer shoudl have told you this. Clean it regularly while it's still healing.

Tips_of_Fingers said:Ha...When I used to work in a very big name high street shop (Debenhams if you're from England = P), I was surprisingly allowed to keep them in. It actually made a decent conversation-piece with customers. And I liked to think that I was giving a good name to people with piercings everywhere instead of this pre-concieved notion that we're angry, drug-abusing layabouts.ShaFe123 said:It varies on the way they ask it....
"No i love, needles being stuck THROUGH my lip, honestly i'd do it all the time if i could"
most of the replies end up with me emphasising the fact i had a sharp instrument put THROUGH my lip.
So common sense should hopefully kick in and make them realise that maybe it tickled a little bit.

Admittedly one of those things were true for me at the time but I like to think that I was a good advert for pierced teenagers.
