Should i let my labret piercing grow in?

beef curtains · 10-16-2002, 03:03 AM

I took it out the day before yesterday....poked the hole through again yesterday...if i don't put it in tonight, it'll be permanently closed

I really like having it, and i like the way it looks, but it's been making my lower gums recede.

Is looking like a badass worth it?

What gauge is your labret stud? I had a 16 in, and it was hitting my gums and so I put a 14 in and I don't have a problem anymore. Maybe if you put in a bigger stud it'll stop. You could try that.

it is a 14 ... i used ot have a 16..... i was thinking of maybe going to an 18 ?? seeing if the smaller helps

i punched it through and put it in for now....
if my gums aren't bleeding in the next few days i'll consider ikeeping it
