Johnny_D Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I am no expert.But I would guess a week should be ok. How long until you can drink warm drinks?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well,I'd say maybe ask the person who done the piercing if they are a professional, or maybe ask the pharmacist?But I reckon a week is good to go!JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlgeek Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 How long were you told to not use a straw or not smoke? I remember being told not to smoke for two weeks, but just see how your lip is feeling after a few days and make sure to rinse after smoking.

ghostofdavid Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I would wait at least six weeks. Lip pierces take a while to heal. Why ruin it by tainting it with whatever is in hookah smoke? It can and will cause it to become irritated and possibly infected. Leave that beautiful piercing to heal on its on and then smoke to your life's content.

MechAnt Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 meh, nothing a little electrical tape can't fix. From what my friends have said, until you can drink from a straw and hot things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetgoldmineee Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 6 weeks without hookah?! thats unthinkable!but after talking about it with some other pierced individuals and reading these replies,the major concenus has said 1-2 weeks.so, thank you for your help, guys!-nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrrrramos Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 You can smoke right after you get it done. When I got mine done, I didn't smoke, but my roommate got his done and a friend of mine the same, we came home and smoked, and it was fine. Just make sure to rinse your mouth out (mouthwash, the kind they should have given you/offered you when you got it done, or any kind without alcohol)Also, don't drink any alcohol for like, two or three weeks after you get it done. That'll lead to a yeast infection, and you don't want that. I've seen the aftermath of those.So smoke right now! Just clean up. And don't drink!

ghostofdavid Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Get some Biotene mouthwash and use it. Never use alcohol mouthwash with fresh piercings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
