Most people don’t report a ton of pain with the vertical lip piercing. Some have rated it around a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. It may hurt more than ear, nose, or other piercings because the tissue around your mouth is sensitive and dense with nerve endings.
Moreover, how do you pierce your bottom lip at home?
Similarly, does it matter which side you get your lip pierced? Some like the idea of connecting center lip piercings to a piercing on the side for a bolder look. Piercings on the side of the lip are more comfortable for some. Depending on the person, a center piercing can take longer to heal than a side piercing.
