What is safe to eat after you get your lip pierced?

I want to get my lower lip pierced with a hoop but im not sure if it would suit me. any advise on whether to get a stud or a hoop? ive had my tongue done just wondering if it hurts more than that and is as irritating when trying to eat at first. thanks x

• Answer:

  Get a captive ball ring and wear it on your lip (just take the ball out) for awhile and see how you like it. Then take the ball and stick it on with eyelash glue or liquid latex. Photoshop pictures of yourself at different angles. See what you like best. And you can always change it once it's healed. If you get a ring, you can just go with whatever diameter fits best. If a labret, make sure it's a longer post that normal for swelling. Your piercer can change it out with a shorter sterilized one for you once the swelling goes away. You must follow all the same precautions as a tongue piercing since it's oral, and also outside the mouth aftercare. It may hurt more. It may not, since everyone experiences pain and piercings differently.
