    well lip piercings have a lot more risks then other piercings. i guess they think that if the tattoo is in the shape of a cross it is ok because it has some religious back round to it, where as a lip piercing is a nest for bacteria and is a lot more visible

    Maybe it's because a bellybutton piercing and a tattoo should be in places that don't see much daylight. A lip piercing is just right there in their faces every time they look at you. Also, depending on your age and what you might have in mind as a future career. Unless you're planning to be an exotic dancer of some sort, the bellybutton ring and the tattoo (I assume) are both in places no prospective employer should ever have to see. My daughter has a tattoo on the top outside of her right hip and in the middle of her back. She has always wanted to be a grade school teacher so there's no reason they should be seen.
