How Lip Piercing Done

When you have a professional pierce your lip, s/he will use an autoclave to sterilize your lip ring and any equipment that will be needed during the piercing process, like forceps or receiving corks. S/he should then prep the skin to be pierced (you may be swabbed with alcohol, iodine, and/or other antiseptic skin cleansers and possibly also asked to rinse out your mouth), mark the skin where the piercing is to be placed, and make sure you're okay with the placement. If you're getting a pair or set of lip piercings done at once, like spider bites or canine bites, your piercer will mark you for all piercings before beginning the piercing process. Next, s/he will open a sterile needle's packaging and pierce your lip. Your piercer may place a receiving tube or cork on the inside of your mouth where the piercing is to be placed so that you won't get poked in the gums by the needle when it's pushed through your lip. As the needle is pulled through, it will be followed by your new lip ring.
