ive got my labret..it didnt really hurt, but then again neither did my tongue or cartlidge. Its pretty easy, just gotta keep saline solution (or they sell this stuff called witch hazel which is made for cleaning it) to clean the outside of your lip, and use a alcohol-free mouthwash everytime u eat or drink (or smoke) anything other then water. The lip kinda sucks though, gotta be careful eating with a fork haha. Just go into a parlor and ask, they will tell you everything you need to know, usually cost about 30 for the piercing and another 10 for the jewerly, unless you know someone.
