    Question

    Hi, I was planning on getting a lip piercing, but i don't really know the side effects. Do you believe that it is a good idea or do you think it is more of a hassle?

    Answer

    Please check this article out: www.pamf.org/teen/nancy/oralpiercing.html. There are some pretty serious possible side effects. I am glad you are considering how willing you are to run those risks before getting the piercing.
