i had my lip and toung done for like 3 years, it just got to be a pain in the ass.I drooled when drinking anything and if your drinking coffe the ring got sticky from the sugar and stuck to the inside of my lip.The one in my toung wore off the enamle on the inside of my bottom teeth.I guess i just grew out of em too.still got my ears though.Now as for the girlies the more holes the better(pun intended)!!
