What do you guys think of a lip piercing? Now, I'm not talking about a labret (http://www.pleasurable.com/assets/images/db_images/db_labret3.jpg), but one off to the side (snakebite, I think it's called. only one though, as opposed to snakebiteS. ) http://www.stiehlsbodymod.com/piercings/lip2sm.jpg. I've been doing as much research about it, and I really haven't found many negative affects on it. I've read from people that play saxophone and flute and what not, and they all say that once it heals, they can play fine if they take it out.
Now, I don't want to hear replies like "it's distasteful!" or "that's just scarring your body" and what not. I'm looking for health risks or maybe what puncturing a muscle (and the chances of that) would do to my playing. I have a 3 month summer then I go back, so that would give me time to heal. I'll be drum major next year, so I won't be playing too much in marching besides in our jazz band. I know my director would slit my throat if he found out I was going to do it, but he probably doesn't know all the things I can do to keep it clean and good for playing!
Thanks!!!!
