Should I let my ex pierce my lip if my Mom said no?

no…if you only 14 then you are not an adult and you have to listen to your mother. I have a child and if he did something like that after I told him no I would be pis*ed and im sure your mother would be to.

No. Wait until your mom will let you.

And ALWAYS get ANY piercing done professionally. Otherwise, it’s really dangerous.

Used to do stuff like that…well lets just say I am OLDer now with plenty of regrets…peircings and body tats are a few of those disappointments! Um, when I was 18 I peirced my tongue, and it got infected! A huge black hole then a huge knot, and finally I had to get antibiotics for it! BAD AWEFUL MESS! Your mother just loves ya and wants the best for ya, how you choose to repay your respects to her…well is all in your own hands…good luck!

no don’t, that wouldnt be mature at all, and what is she going to do when she sees you did it anyways? yeah, and lip rings are so slutty

Jamming a metal spike through your face, won’t make you any cooler…

NO! …come on, your ex is NOT a profesional peircer the only thing he knows what to do id stick a needle through some skin and peiring is much more than that never let someone else, like a freind peirce you you are at greater risk of infection, getting in crookered, other problems, and not to mention ins a sure way to loose your mothers trust in you. wait untill your at least 16, that little hole is going to be in your lip for a long time theres no rush, so get it done the right way. use your brain!

No you shouldn’t. First of all… why rush to get a hole in your face? I had one and I took it out a year ago and theres still a mark there, not cool. Your still a minor, when you become and adult you can make your own choices, until then its your moms job. Don’t ruin her trust. Also when you do get it done, at least go to a professional… don’t let your ex do it.

Obviously if you’re asking random people on the internet you’re not sure about it yourself. Think about it.
WHY do you even want the piercing?
How badly do you want the piercing?
Do you want it bad enough to risk the possible sideaffects (such as but not limited to: the inability to get a job/taken seriously, infection, loss of trust with your mom?)

think about it. body modification is not to be taken lightly.

Information:

Lip piercing can lead to receding gums and may make the problem worse, say researchers from Ohio State University.

They compared the gums of 29 young adults with pierced lips to those of 29 with unpierced lips. All participants were about 22 years old, and roughly half were women.

About 41% of those with pierced lips had receding gums. That’s much higher than the 7% rate seen in those with unpierced lips.

In addition, gums had receded more than twice as much in those with pierced lips. People who’d had their lips pierced for the longest time fared worst. Age, gender, and other factors didn’t matter; only length of time with a pierced lip was important.

The study was conducted by professor Dimitris Tatakis, DDS, PhD, and colleagues from Ohio State’s College of Dentistry. They announced their findings in Baltimore, at a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research.
