Lip ring or lip stud?

I'm thinking about getting my lip pierced and I was wondering which one do you prefer? Does the stud hit against your gums?

I personally like a Stud instead of a ring. I have never gotten one, so I wouldn't know if it brushes against your gum. Sorry. =)

Well most people are getting studs because they are hot! So I would say stud, but they might do something to your gums! Maybe you should get your lip peirced!

yea I'm affraid that the lip ring/stud is going to rub aganist my gums or chip my teeth. I heard that the lip stud doesn't really hit your gums but I don't no if that's true.

yes, the stud does hit your gums
more then the actual ring will
however, you wont really notice it
unless you say, ran into something or got hit in the face and it got pushed really hard against your mouth/teeth
then is the time to worry!

Studs tend to look better because they aren't so big but some people can pull the rings off.

stud! =D

Personally I think the ring looks stupid. I don't know if it rubs against your gums. But I I used to have my labret pierced (which is still your lip...just lower I guess) and the part that is in your mouth is a flat piece of metal. So it does rub, but it won't bug you. As with any piercing you just have to get used to it and you won't even feel it really anymore

Hm... I have to say that the studis definately more pleasing to the eye than a ring, but so many people are getting their lip peirced now that I think it's wa-a-ay over done... Not to mention, my sister had one, and it was creepy when she ate 'cause it moved around a lot. Yuck! >.<'

So... I'd consider something else. Like a nose, eyebrow, or cartalidge because the lip (Ring or stud) is totally over-done.

Love and Luck!

Thanks for your advice.

After all the research I've done I've decided not to get it .
