Okay guys, it's time for a new piercing...
You may have seen my other thread about piercings before travelling. I heeded your advice, didn't have anything done before Costa Rica. Well, now I'm back, and I've narrowed my decision down to either a septum piercing or a labret off to the left side of my lip. I need your help choosing!
me being over tired and amused by Two and a Half Men in Costa Rica:

and me on a boat, in Costa Rica (I'm the one in the middle with the grey sweater):

I don't know which would look better, or which would be best for me. Basically, my only concern is that the labret would obstruct my articulation (I'm a singer, so I need to be able to articulate)

I think you should do whichever one you want to do. Everyone is going to have their own personal preference, and I don't think any will help you decide. It's a personal decision. You are going to have people say why get a peircing when you are already pretty. my personal preference would be the lip peircing. I don't imagine it would obstruct your dialect at all, obviously at first it will, but once it heals it won't. I have my tongue peirced, and I don't have any issues whatsoever with speaking. So good luck with your decision.

exactly^^
I have my tongue pierced too, after deciding not to get my lip done ( only reason I changed my mind was because I was getting it done at my friends house and I had to hide it haha) but I dont think that after it heals you will have any problem with articulation.

I have my labret done and the right side of my lip done. And just be sure its something you want forever because even if you take them out people will always tell it was pierced. I have not worn my labret in 4 years and can still put a ring through it and I only wear my right side every couple of weeks.

Older guy warning...
Septum, I have watches many students get everything possible pierced. If there is a chance that the labret will effect your singing why risk that. Also labrets sometimes cause teeth/gum issues.
As a personal note the labret feels odd, it breaks the symmetry of the face and is a touch off putting and two balanced I just don't like the look of. No offence to anyone, I just think it takes a special person to pull off that look not everyone can.

I don't like the look of any lip piercings, ESPECIALLY anything that gives an asymmetrical feel to the mouth area. I look at it and just want to say "hey, you've got a little something there, need a napkin?" *points to side of mouth*

This may not help you at all, but I kinda agree w/ both LGray23 and kitedemon's statement. First off, Im not against any piercing or whatsoever, Im actually fascinated w/ people having different kinds of piercings, but Im more of a tattoo person. Now back to you. This is kinda cheesy but you have a pretty face, and honestly, I cant imagine it having any piercing at all. So my vote, either no piercing or maybe a lil less obvious like a nose or tongue maybe?

Just another option I don't know if you have thought about it or not but,.. Surface Piercings. It doesn't have to be facial unless you want it to be.

First off... Costa Rica rocks! I went 1.5 years ago and had the most enjoyable time. Secondly and on to the question at hand... I'm all for piercings and have my ears gauged (12 years ago before it was trendy) but those two are terrible piercings IMO. You're very pretty and I personally don't think they are fitting on you. Septum piercings just look silly and the off center lip is so commonplace nowadays. Just my $.02... Good luck with whatever you decide! As long as you are happy that's all that matters!
Kind Regards,
B
