Talk:Lip piercing

message: Under types of Lip Piercings. 
It will not be any harm to if you wash your mouth out with 1/8 tsp. sea salt to 1 cup of warm water and everything should be fine it will heal in a couple days.
It takes much longer than that to heal a lip Piercing. On average it takes anywhere between 2-3 months. And it's an inital 21 days before you can even downsize to the smaller jewelery. 
As well most people submerge the entire peircing into the cup of saline solution instead of using cotton balls. It's much more effective, and it will sooth the piercing too. Hot water is better than luke warm or warm water. Some piercers say as hot as you can possibly withstand.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.185.1.75 (talk) 07:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it a pain to eat with?
Yeah it really can be. It just depends on what you eat though. I didn't eat anything solid for about the first week after my snakebites were done, but many people do. I stuck to things that could be consumed with a straw, not bumping either ring was a hassle while they were still quite tender. If you can cut it in half or small peices do that. Finger foods are wonderful. Things like french fries, small carrot sticks and pop corn are easy to eat. As opposed to things like whole apples, sandwiches, etc. Everyone is different though.

thread_title: Eating

message: I had an issue with the wording that a home-made saline solution is "the best" aftercare product, as many piercers and other such authorities disagree, as well as the idea that "the best" of anything is subjective.  I reworded it to "a common", but thought it was worth mentioning on the talk page in case anyone else had a comment to make on the subject? -- FaerieInGrey 01:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest this section be retitled Medical Considerations and include all the medical hazards outlined in the references given. (i.e. fractured teeth, Gingival recessions) I would also suggest removal of a specific treatment for wound care that could be taken as medical advice. 75.149.80.46 (talk) 06:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Yes it does hurt, considering you are getting a needle shoved through your lip.
But it only hurts for a second and then the pain is gone.
When eating try not to hit the bar because that hurts quite alot.
lips hurt less than other piercings such as tongue and hips from my personal exp, but, it all depends on your pain tolerance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Failureatdeath (talk • contribs) 
:The pain is very tolerable. The second piercing tends to hurts more than the first because you are both expecting it and your lip is already begging to be sore. The pain does go away quickly. Rings are easier to eat with than studs because its harder to hit a round ring with your teeth than a stud bar. This link has some good information about the rings vs studs. http://www.livestrong.com/article/243171-is-it-better-to-use-a-ring-instead-of-a-stud-for-lip-piercings-while-healing/ Dmorenode (talk) 18:37, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikiproject Body Modification

message: from the already sited first reference, ^  Zadik Yehuda, Becker Tal, Levin Liran (January 2007). "Intra-oral and peri-oral piercing", I propose including "...is a practice that is gaining acceptance in the western world as a sign of individuality, marginality, decoration, or group membership." It seems to better cover motivations of those who are pierced, including the issue of marginality.
The second paragraph should be deleted due to ambiguity. The first example isn't cited and poorly written. The second is too broad in its criteria (i.e. tattoos and other modifications included as percentages) and too small in its sampling for the percentages stated to be included. 
Given the lack of citation, to say that "it remains an uncommon, but increasingly apparent cultural activity" might be as far as one can go.  And given "Among the participants, 225 (57.8%) were unaware of the dangers of intra-oral piercing it may be wise to add a statement to that effect within the culture section? "the majority of the sampled study were unaware of the health hazards prior to the procedure"?75.149.80.46 (talk) 06:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: History and Culture

message: After reading the cited materials, it would seem that lip piercing is a subset of oral piercing in the medical literature. Making this connection may will allow better accumulation of research done by oral surgeons and their ilk? 75.149.80.46 (talk) 06:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: First sentence

message: In the image that has 6 numbered examples of various lip piercings, is there a key somewhere that mentions what the various locations are generally referred to as?  Otherwise...why bother numbering the images? I also think a key would be a nice addition, & helpful to people who are interested in getting various lip piercings.
