but some idiot off my other forum told me it wouldnt suit me (probably just being nasty as always), anyone here got a tiny mouth and their lip done?
also, my mums a dentist, shes going to kill me anyway but im worried about receeding gums, as i said it will be at the side but also right on my lip line so im hoping it rests on my teeth rather than my gums.
also read somewhere that it increases mouth cancer if you smoke (i do) because of the hole and also slows down the healing process.
any advice would be so great.

I don't know about it increasing mouth cancer, but I have..er..a fairly small mouth and have three lip piercings, though I only wear the two side ones. I think it's all down to opinion, just 'cause some numpty on another forum said you wouldn't suit it doesn't mean you won't. Plus, if you like it, fuck what anyone else says.
Advice: DO NOT DRINK AFTER IT! Honestly. Don't. You won't be able to brush your teeth properly for a week 'cause the swelling will be horrible. I don't generally swell with piercings but I looked/felt ridiculous due to several post-piercing pints.
Get a bar rather than a ring, also. I foolishly got two rings which didn't help with the swelling, among other things.
Good luck!
