How bad do lip piercings swell?

In: Body Piercing [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have spiderbites, and I got them done at different times and the I used a hoop for the first one, and a stud for the second one.

The hoop - It was swollen significantly. When I went to sleep the piercing would try to heal around the hoop, so when I woke up I would have to turn my lip ring and a ring of skin would come off around it... VERY PAINFUL.

The Stud - I had no swelling, and little to know pain. It healed very fast and I changed stud after about... 2 weeks.

I highly recommend a stud for your lip piercings.
