    I feel like I’m beating a dead horse by saying this, but the day I got mine done, I was starting to regret it (for the first time! I have a lot of piercings and tattoos. Never once have I regret any of them) your video did indeed bring me some confidence, and now that it’s been a couple weeks, I’m so glad I kept it. So thank you again

    I got mine done today. I’ve never got a piercing in my life before this and it made me feel brave. It looks cool and it’s right in the middle. I got big lips so let’s see how it will do if the swelling starts.

      Day 2
      Less pain. I can eat and the lips movement doesn’t annoy it. I can only feel the pressure by touching it. Also the lip is swollen a little. My lower lip is slightly touching the ball.

    aaah you are so cute! i was just sitting w/ my roommate in our kitchen and talked about how i would love to get a vertical labret piercing, i found your video thru my impulsive idea and i loved the way you talked about it. i think its super important to talk about self-confidence regarding facial piercings and the case of "what if im not attractive to the male gaze anymore?". i completely share your opinion, piercings do not affect your "desirability" towards men (or any other person). its so important that YOU feel yourself w/ that piercing and that YOU are happy with it at the end :P. life is a simulation lol

    Yay I love your piercing videos. I think you would be able to keep the jewelry out for longer if you used internally threaded jewelry instead of external because externally threaded scratches the inside of the piercing when you take it out or put it in and that can make it irritated.

    Hey! Jsut wanted to point out that the jewellery you are using is externally threaded, meaning the thread is on the bar instead of internally threaded where the thread is on the ball. It’s safer if it’s on the ball as when you are taking out your jewely externally threaded threads can scratch the inside of your piercing.

I trusted him with my entire soul as he did my septum piercing and i think he did an amazing job. The pain was actually less then i expected but still a little painful. Now, the thing that just irritates me is that the lower part bleeds a little and i'm tired of cleaning it every 2 minutes, but i think it's worth it❀

    @Mel-dx8ky Pƙed rokem +5

    I would also say the pain was around a 6/10 or 7/10, but the pain did last longer for me. I had to ice my lip for the next couple hours, but overall it was super worth it!! learning how to eat again was funny, i hated eating anything that dragged or spilled on my lip for months (soup, noodles, sticky stuff, anything messy).
    The healing process has been super lengthy for me because I have a bad habit of chewing on my lips and fucking with the bar when i'm bored (moving it up and down or habitual cleaning with non sanitized hands đŸ˜¶) but at 5 months it was finally completely healed lol :,)
    just in case anyone else has an oral fixation like me, it'll probably take much longer for your piercing to stop being irritated and finally heal. I'm lucky there's no visible scarring though. I would say top rule of any piercing is LITHA! leave it the hell alone!!!

    • @Mel-dx8ky
      @Mel-dx8ky Pƙed rokem +1

      Oh!! also!!! my lips were crusty and dry for literally the first like three months, it was like they had never seen a drop of moisture even if i applied chapstick, so if that's something you're experiencing dont freak out. Just maybe clean your piercing with saline solution slightly less because that does dry it out. I was cleaning twice a day with saline and i bumped it down to once a day, and then rinsed with warm water any other time it felt dirty. My lips instantly started improving. Hope this helps someone!!

    I got my VL pierced a little over two weeks ago now? I have gone through feeling extremely confident and excited about it to very insecure about it. I feel happy about it when I get to exfoliate around it with a q-tip, and I feel crappy when it's all chapped. Other than that, the piercing itself didn't hurt, it only hurt a bit after the jewelry was already screwed in and it stung pretty bad- but by then it was finished! I feel insecure about the larger balls and length of the bar, I feel like the lower ball being so low makes me look like I have a bit of a beard.. 😖 not into it right now. I hope I can downsize soon, but I still swell a bit when I do my sea salt soaks- so I'm not sure if it's the best idea to downsize just yet.

    • @teawithromy
      @teawithromy  Pƙed 2 lety +3

      Totally understandable, I felt quite insecure in the first months too... and i feel you for the beard haha, i hated my long bar as well. It's been 2 weeks so you can get it changed at the piercer for a shorter bar and smaller balls (it will still have some room in case it swells again though) -- the piercer might not have them available at the studio but you could order one online and ask them to change it for you. But at the 3 months mark, then you should be able to experiment with new sizes by yourself! good luck 💕

    Hi! Soy española. Hice mi labret vertical hace 2 dĂ­as. He visto tu vĂ­deo hoy y coincido en que te hace sentir EMPODERADA, lo que resulta verdaderamente genial. Por si a alguien le sirve, comparto con quĂ© me estoy curando la herida: CRISTALMINA EN GEL 2 veces al dĂ­a. AdemĂĄs de esto, me lavo con agua templada y un jabĂłn que no lleve alcohol (por ej. CERAVE) antes de aplicarme la Cristalmina y despuĂ©s de cada comida. Esto es una alternativa a la sal. Con este doble cuidado espero que pueda cicatrizar antes ✹ TambiĂ©n muy importante lavarse los dientes cada vez y usar despuĂ©s un enjuague bucal SIN ALCOHOL. Evitar comidas muy calientes o picantes. Y no pintarse los labios 💋 (para mi, lo peor de todo!!). No puedo esperar a usar una barra mĂĄs estilizada y pegada a mis labios y empezar a hacer combinaciones de bolas de colores y diferentes diseños 😍. Por Ășltimo y mĂĄs importante: Mil gracias por tu vĂ­deo: ayudas a entender el proceso no solo fĂ­sico sino tambiĂ©n psĂ­quico, y ademĂĄs es muy informativo. ❀

      I’m doing the same thing soon.. I’ve had my central labret for 7 years now and I’m starting to notice some damage to my gums. the thing is that right now I’m wearing invisalign and I have to go to the dentist every month for check-ups, which means they will mess with my mouth while my piercing is healing lol so I’ll probably just wait a few months to be done with the invisalign treatment.
      btw, how is it switching from a regular labret to a vertical labret? is it much different? I also have 4 facial piercing so i’m not that worried about it but i’m curious haha

    Hey! So I got mine done a month ago. I’m absolutely in love with it and it’s healed like, surprisingly fast. Like at this point I feel mostly healed and I experienced really little swelling (my chapped phase was hell but only lasted like a few days). I made the mistake of not actually looking at the aftercare sheet my piercer gave me. All I knew was wash it twice a day with the saline she gave me. I haven’t done any soaks but I’ve healed fine. Should I just continue as is or should I start doing the soaks?

    • @katymiranda4514

      soaks are more of an additional step rather then required. as long as you cleaned it with saline and its healed properly u don’t need to do it!

    Agree so hard on the anxiety part being the most painful xD also have one regret as you mentioned you preferred it to be from the centre ish of your lip which is what I wanted too but mine is touching the top lip :(( although I don't hate it I hope I don't regret it (I just got it done 2 hrs ago)

    heyy i really liked tht u explain everything so calm and nicely!! and also i’ve got my lip pierced yesterday and at first it wasn’t that swollen yk but today it’s a little more swollen and it has a bump the size of the piercing around it. i don’t know if i should start worrying i know tht it’s normal for it to be swollen but the bumpy texture kinda makes me nervous ohh and also my bar is shorter than it should be could this be the reason for the bump around it? :(((

    • @teawithromy
      @teawithromy  Pƙed 8 měsĂ­ci

      Hii sorry for late reply! I hope it looks better now and the bump is gone? The swelling is very normal at first and it may feel like the bar is too short but its usually okay. Idk about the bump but if it remains, maybe try a mixture of coconut oil and teatree oil (only on the bump). I used that when i had a bump on my nose. How’s it looking now? đŸ©·

    • @teawithromy
      @teawithromy  Pƙed rokem

      Heyy sorry for the late response! i'm not sure how relevant this is now... but the ball never gets caught inside the hole so you don't have to worry about that! i think the balls are 2.5 or 3mm which is still too big for the hole :)

    • @Hokori42
      @Hokori42 Pƙed 9 měsĂ­ci

      This risk is more related to de length of the piercing rather than the size of the ball : if it is too short it will induce pressure

  • @BK69420

    I want a lip piercing sooo bad but can’t make up my mind what I want done because of my gums and teeth. I saw a person post getting theirs and I am hooked on the idea!! I have both sides of my nose done and my septum. Those are the only facial ones I have however how can you hide it if in a formal setting? My mother is engaged and doesn’t exactly have a date set but I know she’d throw such a big fit if I get it and can’t hide it since she already hates my gauges and colorful hair 😔

    • @teawithromy
      @teawithromy  Pƙed 2 měsĂ­ci +1

      Hi, I totally get your worries! I think the vertical labret would be a good fit in that situation because it doesn't affect your gums and teeth (since it's a surface piercing). In terms of hiding, you can still hide it based on the method i showed in the video (putting a transparent retainer in it), that's what I do when I visit my parents' home! However, you would need to wait at least 3 months (preferably longer) to hide it since the piercing needs to heal fully before you change the jewelry often. If the wedding takes place soon, i'd recommend you wait 🙏 I hope this helps! good luck 💕✹

  • @lievebouman502

      Heyy you can check one my first youtube video, it’s about the healing process :) i also have other videos where i change the piercing. You can chance to smaller jewelry when its fully healed so after 3-5 months i think (although i dont remember exactly when i changed mine!)

  • @sod5982
    @sod5982 Pƙed rokem

    I got mine done the other day but removed it because I did not like the placement. My piercer offered to get it re-pierced in 6 weeks after my lips have healed. However, I noticed while I had it, that the feeling of the jewelry bar was very noticeable. I was wondering if you feel the jewelry in your lips or if you just complete forget about it? And does it make eating or drinking more complicated after it is healed?

    • @teawithromy

    I saw your lip piercing vids a while ago and kept them in on the back of my mind. Well, yesterday i finally went and got it myself, after a two year wait. It was a woman with a vertical lip labret customer from 2 years ago that i'd helped at work that looked *so* good i uttered something under my breath to go get one someday.
    I find that dainty is best. Small round balls; i don't want the bar bell to show grr

    I got mine done about 8 days ago and it has been bleeding once every day and sometimes it can be a lot of blood. It ain’t painful in anyways nor is it infected I’m just hoping that it will stop bleeding completely because I’m not sure if it continues to heal once it bleeds or does it just restart the healing process all over.

    • @teawithromy

      The retainer keeps the piercing from closing so it will be fine! I keep it the whole day, but then put my normal piercing back at night

    Hi. I got my vertical labret 4 days ago and I'm struggling if it's in the right position I desired. I just watched your videos, also the healing process. So I'm wondering if the position has changed after healing? Because it seems that in the healing process the piercing position was more on the top of your lip. And in this video, it seems to be in the middle. That's exactly the position I also wanted it to be 😊

    • @teawithromy
      @teawithromy  Pƙed 9 měsĂ­ci

      The crusting is normal and will go away was your piercing heals, dont worry! But the more you play with it, the longer it will take.. the crusts came off when i cleaned my piercing or after the shower, but i avoided touching it unless im cleaning it
