Here's my query: Since my friend is going to do the labret piercing for me, we need a needle. However, we're not sure where to get a piercing needle, what type to use for a labret piercing, etc. I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could please tell me anything about piercing needles in relation to labrets.

Well.. we can't really advise you here.. Self Piercing (or an unexperienced friend) is not really a good idea.. and per the Tribalectic rules, I must close this topic.

If you and yoru friend don't know where to get a needle, I would HIGHLY recomend that you go to a real professional!

No hard feelings... but self piercing is a really bad idea in most cases.
