I am a registered body piercer.I think there are only around 100 here.The lip is one of the fastest healing piercings that you can get along with tounge and labret as the saliva promotes healing.How old are u ? When i pierce someone who looks under 18 i will as for proof of ID.If they have none i wont pierce them.Here if a parent comes along and signs the consent forms it is allowed.There really isnt much that you can say for your parents to let you get it.My nephew at 16 wasnt even allowed to get his ear pierced.When i was 14 i wanted my nose pierced and my mum said no i just got it done anyway and she was cranky but she got used to it.Maybe there worried that it might get ripped out or something.Have u seen the needle and instruments we use lol ? I will get my instruments and the size needle that will be required to fit your lip 14g is best for there and take a pic if u want just let me know.When i do a piercing from home next i will post them too.
