They're too delicate, if you know what I mean.

    I am about as ambivalent as it gets regarding piercings. Don't have any myself but to each their own. You're a pretty girl and if you like to sing, why risk that? Have you thought about a tattoo? That's a lot more personal in that you can make it anything you want, as opposed to a piercing that might be a bit "run of the mill" in that a good number of people have them, as opposed to a one-of-a-kind bit of ink; the flip side, a tattoo can be a lot more permanent than can some piercings.

    Just a thought, as it's obviously entirely up to you and there's pros and cons to both. Whatever you decide, decide for YOU and enjoy! Good luck choosing!

    I have been considering a tattoo but the problem is that although I have a vague idea of what I want to do I havent found the right artist to nail down the details with, and most of the good shops in my area will not tattoo anyone under 18, no matter if they have consent or not, so I'm kind of stuck on that front for now...

    I agree, get whatever you want more. I currently have 6 (2 ears, navel, vertical labret, nose, and tongue) and the only "side effect" from any of them is from the vertical labret.. I lost the ability to whistle lol.. but I doubt a side lip piercing would affect your singing.

    I'd say the labret too.. I've seen people with their septum pierced and personally I don't really think it looks very attractive.

    I have my septum and I got snakesbites done a few months ago. (Two lip piercings, one on each side of the lower lip)

    My only problem with the lips is that the metal of my studs clicks against my teeth sometimes. It shouldn't be a bother with your singing, sound-wise, BUT! Until you are used to the lip piercings and adjust how your lower lip moves, the backing of the jewelry (if you have studs) can hook on your lower teeth. If you make a lot of facial expressions while singing you might snag them until you can adjust. I don't know, but one lip piercing might be easier than getting two done at once. ;]

    Anyways! After all of that- I vote for septum. It'd be cute. Use a smaller nose-ring, captive or horseshoe and it will look more dainty and feminine. Mine isss 3/8 I believe. I had a 1/4 and it was too small. That's my personal preference after having one a few years.

    labret

    septum nose is not good for pretty grlz like you, the labret in lip would be better, i would suggest a little diamond or diamondlike stone in it.

    I don't know if you already decided or not but here's my two cents...

    I have both and I like them both a lot. They are two of my favorite piercings. I find them both attractive and enjoy the vast jewelry selection available. After the initial healing time the lip piercing won't impede your speech much at all. Occasionally I'll bite down in a strange way and catch it making a metallic sound or pulling on my lip but this is rare. A lot of people will tell you that septum piercings are ugly or "cow-like" but I personally find them aesthetically appealing also unlike the lip piercing you can easily flip them up or wear a plug in them to keep them hidden. You don't have that luxury with labrets. I've eaten my fair share of retainers...
    As for surface piercings I've had my fair share of experiences with microdermal anchors as well as a surface bar. Both are very pretty and have lots of options for colored or jeweled ends. Sadly though depending on your choice of placement you can end up losing the piercing. Micros though can end up being more "permanent" if they heal as intended. They can be removed it's just not exactly painless. No matter what make sure that you go to a piercer who knows what he/she is doing. There's nothing worse than a poorly done surface piercing...or any piercing for that matter.

    Opinions aside though with piercings, tattoos or any other body modification it really does come down to what YOU want. You're the one that is going to have this on her body so you need to decide for you. Good luck and enjoy your new bling!!
