It is your body: It is your choice. I am sure you know what the potential complications can be(infection, pain, poor healing).

What do I think?: Labia on your face or genital labia? Both are frot with danger. Common infections related to piercings include staphylococcus aureus, group a streptococcus & pseudomonas. What do I think? I think it puts your health at unnecessary risk.
