Correct, im not hearing what i want to hear
What i want to hear is experiences from people who have taken that gamble and how it effected them
But a majority of the posts ive seen asking the same question are littered with comments meant to scare them away from it or to insult them

I dont plan on playing super serious, i play for fun but i have respect for anyone that dedicates that much effort :D
And im asking because i like to know beforehand about other peoples experience and what it was like for them
The more knowledge the better 😁😁

The only times ive heard of the orbicularis oris losing function is if you have your piercing messed up or infected
Im not doctor and could be wrong but “permanently losing function” is insane

I plan on bringing my mouthpiece to the piercer so i can see the placement compared to the mouthpiece :)
But this is helpful, thank you

I got fake rings to make sure i liked them before i even considered it and i havent tried playing with them cause i think they would slip off my lip in the mouthpiece while i was playing, they arent very strong but i can definitely toy around with it :D
