The lips (and tongue) are the most densely concentrated with nerve endings of any part of the human body, surpassing both this clitoris and frenulum of the penis. The exact number varies from person to person, but at a rough estimate I would say 10,000.
Hope that helps

The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years for hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.
And if you have read all of this and still would like to pierce your lips, see the picture, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.

Why does the side of your head hurt when you try to pierce your lip?
It shouldn'tNow the lesson begins. This is why you don't pierce yourself, you get the piercing done by a professional who knows a lot more about body piercing than you do. There are plenty of nerve endings and blood vessels in the area of the lip not to mention connective tissue that controls your ability to close and open your mouth. Chances are very good that you struck one of the nerves in that area ( once nerves are cut they quite often will not heal back up again ). Damage is permanent.
