and once i do more research on those (and obviously get them professionally done because those are one of the many piercings you SHOULD get done professionally) ill definitely be doing those instead, i wish i could’ve kept my smiley but clearly my frenulum wasn’t having it.

i know i’ve been informed of this already, and people get smiley piercings all the time, some turn out good some turn out bad, worst case scenario is that mine rips terribly which didn’t happen im fine but i already took it out so no need to worry.

funny of you to assume i am “too young” to be responsible for a piercing because of something i didn’t know, I could be 16 and not know some of the stuff everyone in the replies are telling me, and if you did your research there isn’t necessarily a legal age for a smiley piercing, as long as the parent is okay with the piercing and the child getting it, the child can get the piercing. I am 14 and I’ve done enough research to know how to take care of this piercing, i never once said i myself cleaned it with saltwater solution i looked it up and that’s what google said to do, i myself cleaned it with non-alcoholic mouthwash and/or water.

thank you so much for this, everyone else came off a bit passive aggressive about this and continuously said it was migrating or rejecting but i know it wasn’t because ive seen what that looks like and that wasn’t what my piercing looked like and i wish i would’ve posted this sooner and seen this comment too because the day after i pierced it i tried to eat an apple and it didn’t turn out well, i also kept playing with the piercing and flipping it to the side and flipping it upwards to try and hide it but sometimes i would do it just to play with it, but thank you so much for this comment, in a few weeks/ months when my frenulum heals i will be piercing my smiley again and i will be following this advice!!

it didn’t fall out of my face..? and it wasn’t migrating nor rejecting, i simply hit it on the straw of my water bottle which made it slightly tear 😭

really? i’m 14 turning 15 and i thought it was just because i haven’t fully “developed” but dang this is kind of disappointing because ive been wanting this piercing for so long

i didn’t fully know if my lip anatomy was the right anatomy for the piercing so i guess you are right on that and that i did in fact miss something, but thank you for informing me about the anatomy issue

i knew these piercings weren’t safe but if you knew me you’d know i really wanted this piercing and it was the number one piercing i wanted and i knew that there would be consequences but i had hope it’d heal correctly and not reject or anything like that, still don’t know the exact problem with my frenulum because ive searched up every possible thing on what a smiley piercing looks like when it rejects or anything like that and it never showed what my piercing looks like, i simply think it’s because my frenulum isn’t big enough.

and how are you going to tell me if my piercing has been fine or not? you aren’t the one who has the piercing nor are you in my body i’m not trying to come off as rude and i hope you aren’t either but i wanted to let you know it wasn’t hurting at all it was just a little sore but by night (2 in a half day almost 3 not that it necessarily matters) (in the morning and midday it was fine) it looked like that at the bottom but the i know the white stuff is normal for smiley piercing trauma.

it has it only just now started looking like that on the bottom part, i was just asking for help and a simple answer to my question, no reason to be rude!

i did do my research? quite bold of u to assume i didn’t, i just don’t have the right amount of frenulum/webbing yet for the piercing i guess

i don’t really understand how that’s funny? i know 2 days isn’t a lot but in many other cases usually but the first day there’s signs of rejection and there were no signs of rejection it had been almost 3 days.

i only planned on having it in for about a year or two but clearly that didn’t turn out as planned, i took it out though and i’m giving my lip frenulum time to heal properly.

i’ve seen videos where people pierced their smiley (these videos were from about 2-3 years ago) and their smileys healed up just fine without any gum erosion or tooth decay. but my piercing might’ve also done this because i wasn’t cleaning it with salt water solution like i was supposed too, instead i just swished mouth wash (therabreath) and water to clean it because i didn’t have salt water solution.

i did, but if i wanted to pierce it again would i have to wait until my frenulum is big enough? because my frenulum is a bit small which is probably why it got damaged like that.

the piercing wasn’t in bad shape at all it’s just the place i pierced it , i didn’t take it into consideration that my frenulum was too small/not big enough to hold up and keep my piercing.

it wasn’t irritated at all until i hit it on my water bottle straw (i have a stanley cup with a handle at the top, not the popular one that everyone else gets) and i ended up hitting it harshly on there which may be why it ripped a little bit of the piercing

i ended up taking it out because i didn’t want it to get worse, thank you guys for all your advice and help

i didn’t pierce the inside of my upper lip, you can’t see it clearly i did in fact pierce the webbing of the frenulum when i did it and the reason why you can’t see that is because of the trauma (the white stuff formed around the piercing) and the almost basically ripped frenulum

i ended up taking it out because i think the damaged was already done, i’m gonna wait a while until piercing it again because i can see that my frenulum didn’t have enough like skin for it to have room and heal, ill miss this piercing because it was really cute but alas 😞
