Does anyone have a lip piercing and play the flute? I've wanted to get a lip ring for awhile, but then I also play flute and am not sure how much that would be affected by it.
do you want the ring in the middle or the side of your lip ? top or bottom ? when you first have it pierced you can only have a labret bar in for the first 6 weeks anyway till the swelling goes down . i have had one in the middle for a while but i found it irritated my gums when the bar rubbed . i know have one on the side which is much better , i dont know about playing the flute as i dont but i cant see it being a problem :2thumbsup:
You can't take it out after a month. It won't have healed in that amount of time and if you start messing around with it it'll irritate it or prolong the healing. There's also a risk of it closing up very quickly if it's taken out at that stage. I personally wouldn't take out any of my piercings (other than earlobes) for any length of time as it is risky, and I'd wait at least 3 or 4 months before even changing the jewellery.
Never understood how in these modern times mutilating yourself would end up desirable and cool. A creeping nasty decadence I suppose. Used to be only sailors and fags had piercings... Biggest turn-off for me is facial piercings. 'specially 'snot rings' and eyebrow piercings.
Piercings have been popular in many societies across the globe for thousands of years. In Western society, during the time when "only sailors and fags" had piercings, men could beat their wives and black people couldn't marry white people and factories just dumped all their waste into the river. I think I'll take the facial piercings.
OK... :dizzy2: ... sensitive lot you self-mutilators are...don't worry about the swelling, it will go down in a coupla weeks, that is if you don't get a brain infection.
There's something about people who put "wolf" in their name. Universally, they post things like this.
This is all part of the homosexual flute playing facially pierced sailor agenda to corrupt our children.
