๐ฌ Does a Lip Piercing Hurt?
Lip piercings are relatively quick and straightforward. Most clients describe the sensation as a sharp pinch followed by a little pressure. The lips have a lot of blood flow, so swelling is normal but usually manageable.
Pain Level: 3โ6/10
Procedure Time: 5 minutes
Weโll walk you through the entire process and ensure you're comfortable throughout.
โณ Lip Piercing Healing & Aftercare
Healing time: 6โ12 weeks depending on placement
Like all oral piercings, aftercare is crucial to avoid swelling, irritation, or infection. We provide full aftercare advice and saline solution recommendations at your appointment.
Key aftercare tips:
-
Rinse your mouth with alcohol-free mouthwash after eating or drinking
-
Clean the outside of the piercing with sterile saline twice daily
-
Avoid spicy, acidic, or sticky foods for the first few days
-
Donโt play with or rotate the jewellery
-
Avoid kissing or oral contact while healing
-
Stay hydrated and maintain oral hygiene

๐ฌ Lip Piercing FAQs
Q: Can I change the jewellery myself?
A: Only once the piercing is fully healed. Weโre happy to change it for you in-studio if youโre unsure.
Q: Can I eat normally after a lip piercing?
A: Yes, but we recommend avoiding spicy, acidic, or sticky foods for a few days. Eat slowly and rinse after meals.
Q: What if it swells or bleeds?
A: Some swelling and minor bleeding are totally normal in the first few days. Cold compresses and anti-inflammatories can help. If you're concerned, contact us for advice.
