Why would anyone want to pierce their lip? It seems like that would make kissing more unpleasant for the other person maybe.

well, first off, think this is the wrong forum to post in!!!!
but anyways, as for getting your lip pierced.. don't do it unless you have permission from your parents!! because if you do it withouth their permission.. well, they will find out, trust me.. because you have to wear it for a certain amount of time, and if you don't, it will close up, and not only hurt, but your lip also won't be pierced. plus it's wrong to disobey your parents!!
maybe explain to them why you want it done, and have a tal kwith them in a nice, loving manner.
God Bless!

After school today, my daughter asked me if I would go with her to have her belly pierced....
I love her... and being the mom I am, I told her no. I could not give my blessing to her having her belly pierced....
I will share with you a few articles I found...
Oral piercing
An infected tougue
The largest ever "body art" study has found that a fifth of students with body piercings have excessive bleeding, bacterial infection, and tissue trauma. The research was reported in Mayo Clinic Proceedings (2002;77:29-34) after 454 undergraduates from a New York college completed questionnaires on the subject.
More than half (51%) of the students had piercings outside the traditional domain of the earlobe, and 29% of women had a navel ring or belly bar. Complications were most likely for nipple (21%), navel (24%), and genital (14%) piercings. Bleeding and bacterial infection were the most common ailments. Piercings were most frequently permanently removed from the nose, tongue, eyebrow, and male nipple.

Lip Piercing Can Lead to Receding Gum
The International Association for Dental Research conveys the latest warning (.pdf): Numerous case reports and a few clinical studies have examined the association between tongue piercing and receding gums, and oral piercing, typically involving the tongue and/or the lip, has been associated with periodontal complications. However, there are no such studies on lip piercing.

Oral piercing
- Oral piercing is becoming more popular, especially piercing of the tongue and lips.
- Metallic or plastic jewelry is often worn in the lip, tongue, and cheek. The jewelry is usually a stud, hoop, or barbell shaped device.
- If you are considering an oral piercing consult your dentist. Your dentist can advise you regarding health hazards and possible damage to your teeth and gums.
- The mouth contains millions of germs, so infection is a common complication with oral piercing.

I know you are wanting a lip piercing, but I thought I would share this story with you too.....
My other daughter a few years ago, wanted her belly pierced.... she left home and when visiting could not wait to show me her pierced belly....
After a short time it got infected.... she could not get the ring out.... and finally somehow she was able, but not without alot of pain....

Try to get some good research on the health risks and procedures so you are well versed in answering any questions that may arise, as well as to inform yourself. The BMEZine has a good amount of information on experiences with specific piercings as well as general info.
When asking your parents, try not to whine or beg. If she says no again, don't make a big deal about it. And DO NOT go do it yourself or go to a seedy salon that will do it without parental consent. Both are some of the good reasons why so many people get infections.
Though IMO 16 is a bit young for such a visible piercing. You may want to try to compromise for a smaller and less risky one, such as an ear piercing or an eyeborw one. Both or which are a bit safer and easier to hide.
And remember, no matter what piecing you get, always remember to get it at a quality salon (AKA not the stores in the mall that have the piercing gun), and to do what the piercer tells you to do. I can tell you it ain't fun if you don't.

Considering what you feel now and how bad you want to have it and a friend has done it I am sure that you feel that " well , I don't want to be so odd among friends that I am not having anything on my lips or my eyebrows or my nose."
So take yourself in thinkning outside the group and look at it from a stranger eye:
1. If this pleasure of peircing has gone . How would it feel after 5 years from now?
2. Will it be fashionable or people will get something new and I will be old-fashioned having peirced lips.
3. What if I found the right person to marry to and this person doesn't like periced lips.
4. What if the lips got a virous????
I know your feeling is being terrified but I don't want you to be in the time of being pressured from friends and take the descision just in seconds. take your time and look at from a destance not from a person who want to do it other wise you will find yourself >>>>>

Gardenia, my mom has already lost trust in me so that wouldn't be something new.

You could research it a bit, and try to give her good reasons as to why you should be able to get one.
If all else fails, wait til' you're 18

Your friends will not be with you in your grave. If you take one step towards being cool in your friends circle then in this life you have to take 1000 steps to maintaine being cool in your friend circle.
It's your body and if you want to punch a hole in your body then hey no matter how much we want to stop you from doing, it doesn't matter but when it pains or you lips bleed for some accedent in your life then my friend it will be you and only who will be feeling the pain and not your friends.

Wait until your body is done growing at least. It'll look like hell otherwise.
Secondly.. it's a phase. You'll get it done, look back in it in 30 years and think "Wow.. I was stupid.."
Thirdly.. how can you be a libertarian and let your parents stop you from getting a lip ring?
