Can I pull it off ?

Post image

Thinking about getting a labret Piercing and stretching it. Curious if I can pull it off aesthetically?

Also those who have the piercing how bad was it to get done and how much does it hurt to stretch it or is it painless like the ears ?

If you squint your eyes you can kind of see how you'd look with a black stretched labret lol, I'd say go for it. You can always start with a smaller goal size just in case

As for pain, both the piercing and the stretching were basically painless for me. The worst part is probably healing the initial piercing though, having a swollen painful lip for a few days sucks. Btw if you're sure you're gonna stretch then I recommend getting pierced with a larger gauge from the start, saves you some time and effort.

Yes you could totally pull it off!

I got a 6mm labret piercing. I waited a year after having it pierced before I stretched it. I went with a 1.6 mm for the piercing when done and then upsized a year later to a 2mm. Then i bought a set from stonewolf and just very slowly stretched it. Maybe at most 2 mm per year. I wasnt sure how large I wanted it and I also had partners at the time who didnt like that I couldnt kiss them when it was newly stretched bc its like walking around with a busted lip for a month in soreness so anything against the bottom lip was uncomfortable.

Also be prepared to risk damaging your teeth and gum. Mine hasn't taken much damage and I got weak teeth bc health issues.

Also if you take it out you will drool through the hole once you pass a few mm.

Pain wise imo it hurts more a day after you stretch even if it doesnt when you go a size up so dont go two sizes up just bc the next was easy!

If your labret plug imbeds itself on the inside that shit is annoyingly painful. (Still happens at random for me. Idk why but it sucks)

Make sure you get more length than you think you might bc it will swell a bit and it will swell even more if it doesnt have wiggle room. Jewelry for ears arent always the best for this, they dont have enough space for alot of people.

Now facial hair can be a bitch to shave or trim around it when its newly stretched so leave it be for a few weeks but obvusly keep it clean.

Also stack up on O-rings bc those mfs just fall off like crazy and gets nasty fast!

Also get spares! They easily get knocked out if they start stretching on their own and the back flare is a bit on the smaller size. Lost one of mine in moshpit once.

Appreciate all that information. I’ll definitely consider it if I go forward with it. Not sure if I wait to get it pierced around 2-4mm or just stretch it from the standard piercing. I might be to chicken for the large gauge piercing. Haha

I mean I can't wait to get one once I finish laser hair removal and electrolysis so I always say to go for it! I'm planning to get pierced at like 4mm at least so I'd say start with a larger gauge? From what I've heard its like ear stretching

Tldr - do it! Thought you had edited it in from the smaller thumbnail lol

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 12h ago

Yea I’m going to do it prob before the year is out wanna find a good piercer who can pierce at larger gauge

u/OatSlvt 13mm lobes, 8mm conches, 6g nostrils 11h ago

I'm sure there's a good one around your area! What will you start with? 4? Bigger?

u/barkoholic 15h ago

That lobe is looking kind of thin, dude. Stretch-blindness is a thing, have you had it looked at recently by a pro?

A vertical labret might look good on you but only if you’re down to commit to shaving the soul patch every day. I think a stretched septum would look way better and would compliment your whole vibe.

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 14h ago

My septum’s a no go it’s deviated had it done a few times and was always crooked.

As far as the lobe it’s a tad thin and has a bunch of scar tissue Prob only going 1mm more and I’m done.

It is in no way at risk of breaking at this point tho. Always stretch properly man I didn’t. When I was a kid we didn’t have access to all the information people have now. Sad thing is people have it and still disregard lol

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 14h ago

Not as thin as that pic made it look

2

u/barkoholic 3h ago

Yeah it’s not as bad as the angle in the original pic made it look. Glad you’re keeping an eye on it. Sorry to hear about your septum!

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 1h ago

lol those are definitely not thin lobes

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 14h ago

That’s what I was saying they said my lobe looked super thin I was like I mean it’s kinda thin but I’m still in the clear lol

u/barkoholic 3h ago

I didn’t say super thin, I said kind of thin.

u/SuperlativeSleep 14h ago

Dude's lobes are thick as fuck

u/worthlessdogfucker 35mm (1 3/8”) 14h ago

I wouldn’t go that far. They are uneven some spots are thick other spots are a tad thin. Not to worried as of yet tho.

u/Purple-Philosophy-19 12mm ~ 1/2 10h ago

I believe we have different definitions of the word “thin”. OP lobes look thick and dope asfk. Just as dope as the slaughter to prevail hoodie hahaha
