You don't. My friend did his lip and it got infected badly. Specially because it's in your mouth. That is a big no-no. If you were going to do it yourself the needle wouldn't match ANY lip rings as they are a bigger size than normal piercings. You'd have to go buy a do-it-yourself piercing kit and they should have the best sized needle and ring. Good luck and I still suggest going to get it done at your local piercing shop. Besides, they'll give you the stuff you need to put on it to keep it from getting infected and healing correctly. Remember, these are WOUNDS, not just "piercings".

I would not recommend doing it yourself. i did it too and i got a very bad infection. my lip swelled up like a fish and i could not talk for 4 days and it was painful afterwords.

if you really want to do it yourself to save $10 go ahead but make sure to use and anesthetic and a sterilized needle.

The best option is to just spend that extra money on getting a professional to get it done as the risk of infection is lowered greatly

I would think doing piercings yourself would be dangerous. You could get an infection or worse. I would'nt take the chance. Sorry, I know that's not really the answer you were looking for.

You don't. You go to a professional. Doing it yourself is going to be a nightmare (actually piercing, and every moment after). That's why there are so many horror stories about home-done piercings, because it's a STUPID UNSAFE IDEA!

u shouldnt do that because there are chances that your lip woll get infected and u most definitly want ur lip lookin nastey, u can also hit an important vain and have eternal bleeding..... i suggest u go to a jewlery place and pay 4 it aunostly

I am a handsome man and when I see a girl with a pierced lip I think to myself, "I certainly do not ever want to kiss something like that". Why would you want to pierce your lip? To be different? Well, what gave you the idea to do it? Seeing others who have done it? Well, think about it.

Actually you do not want to mess with your face yourself... and lip piercings were over 10 years ago....

You don't. I'm sorry, but it's very dangerous. I would get it done professionally. I'm sorry this probably was not the answer you were looking for, but it's the truth.

Just get an ice pick

Don't do it, you can get an infection and who knows what!
