Lip piercings. How bad do they hurt and how do they stay in?

They do not hurt at all, i had a monroe and it was basically painless. Just a tiny pinch, and the second the needle got through the other side of my lip i didn't feel a thing. And the studs have a flat plate as a backing, then the stick, rod, whatever you want to call it, and the ball that screws onto the end. If you don't understand what i mean, just go to hottopic.com and look at the labret studs, that's what would be in your lip. Oh, and most people will say they hurt more than a regular ear lobe piercing, but in my own opinion, i think the lip piercing actually hurts less. but everyone is different and it depends on your pain tolerance. but no matter what your pain tolerance is, i don't think a lip piercing would even be painful at all.

I just recently pierced my lip by myself. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the least painful, 10 being the most) i would give it a 7. If you go it done professionally it would only be a 5-6. If you are just putting in a little stud, they have little flat, circular backs that screw on to the bar that goes threw your lip. If you are not good with pain, i wouldn't recommend it to you, but it only hurts when you first get it done but after wards i felt no pain. Hope i helped :)
