My moms taking me to get my lip peircing done next week but I were going to look at labrets at hot topic so what size should I look for if it's brand new peircing and I don't want to stretch my lip?

A 14 Gauge should be just fine. And good job for getting it done professionally! :)

Lol I convinced her by telling her either way it was going to be peirced but did she want it done by me or a professional? BTW I LOVE VELVET REVOLVER fall to pieces is like my favorite song lol

Well I'm glad you're getting it done the right way. It would be bad if it came out not looking good, or got infected later. Let me know how it goes!

And anyone who likes Velvet Revolver is cool in my book. :p

YAY! I so can't wait I'm getting my hair done next week as well!

nauticalstar420 · Aug 13, 2007, 12:49 PM

Well that's good it sounds like you will have a whole new look :p

Yeah a 14G is usually standard, although my nose is a 16G... when you get it pierced they will tell you what gauge they are using then you can buy the right gauge when it is healed enough to change :)

I'm getting mine done in a few weeks too! :)

I don't blame you for getting a 16 in your nose. You don't want too fat of a post in there or you could mess something up. :p

Every time I've gotten pierced they have given me the choice of 16, 14 or 12. I usually stick with 14 for piercing and if I want it stretched bigger in the future then I stretch it. :)

Yeah I have always got pierced with a 14 too... well except my nose, they just did it with a 16 and I figured they would.

Yeah I'm pretty set with not stretching haha! My husband stretchs about all of his... his ears are at 1/2G and he even stretched his tongue... no way for me!:eek:

Yep burgandy hair and I'm getting it cut to my shoulders

nauticalstar420 · Aug 13, 2007, 01:06 PM

I had my hair burgundy and one point, actually I think my color was called Plum.

Have fun with your new piercing and your new hair :p

Keep me posted on how the labret piercing goes, and if you have any other questions about it I'm here. :)

I think I'm going to keep it at 14 because I don't want to stretch my lip

nauticalstar420 · Aug 13, 2007, 03:54 PM

14 is the perfect size if you want to keep it standard. :)
