So I got my lip pierced

[samsaBEAR]

If anyone else has theirs done, what's your recommended method of cleaning it?
I use a cotton bud dipped in salt water and wipe the bar, and then gently push it through the hole to clean it all the way through, then swill some of the water to get rid of stuff around my mouth and what have you.
Does anyone have any better ideas or anything?

when i had mine done i used cotton buds and the solution they gave me, worked fine for me, i didnt clean inside but i was ok. :) had it 3 years now, dont clean anymore.. i have a ring though :P

i cleaned mine till i ran out of the cleanign thingy they gave me lol. I dont clean mine anymore though, had it year or two..

But pics babe.

when i had my tongue & nose done, they said just use warm salt water and cotton buds.

Try that :)

What you're doing is good, but you should also soak the outside of it really - get some warm salt water in like an eggcup or something and just hold it over the piercing for a few minutes a couple of times a day. You'll look like a right fool but it'll help the piercing and it's not like you're doing it in public :P

I used to take the bar out clean the area out side my the hole and inside my mouth out with warm salty water, clean the bar then put it back in :D

Dont have it in anymore (well i had snake bites, before they became so popular ) i dont have them in now because of where i used to workthinking about getting them done again tho.

i've wanted snakebites for ages now. when they're healed, and i go back and get the smaller bars, im probably gonna buy some rings so i can alternate :D

are they the ones that have one ball where your piercing is, then curl up around the back of you lip and have another ball rest on your lip?

I got my labret (center lip) pierced about 6 months I ago, I cleaned the outside with hot salt water with a cotton wool & the inside with mouth wash. :)

Yeah they are :)

There fit.

You have one ball in the hole then one on the lip itself.

Two of my mates got there tounge pierced, looks good on em, but it isn't attractive imo.

Also my mate got a tattoo on the inside of his bottom lip, looks good

Tongue piercing's done for a practical reason, not aesthetic ;) you don't see it most of the time
