Ice is the only way short of a readily available, natural local anaesthetic. Of which I know none...try google.

Could you go and get it done by a professional? It could cause infections and
that would be bad.

I have pierced my own before, and it didnt get infected.
I have pierced six of my friends, none of them got infected.

I know how to clean all my equipment (i have the proper things) and after care i know all about.


to others: the ice behind my lip makes my teeth go crazy because i have senstive teeth and it goes down to my gums too and its just ARGH!! ;[

If you're sure you can do it safely, then go for it. I definitely respect that - I'm don't have the balls to pierce myself! I can give shots and stuff to humans and animals (I'm studying to be a vet) but I can't handle sticking needles or anything in myself, haha.

Anyway.. Ice is probably the only way you'll easily be able to numb it. Though I've actually read online that it's a bad idea to do that as it doesn't work too well for numbing and it can make your lip more difficult to pierce. The recommendations I found were to put a hot water compress on your lip as it makes it more malleable and thus easier to pierce. It's not going to do much by way of numbing, but well, it's going to be painful either way unless you get it professionally done with anesthetic.

You can get freeze spray

You could get some of that venom stuff that numbs your lips whislt inflating them. Its quite expensive tho.
