    Yeah, in school some of my teachers made me take out my labret.
    Basically, I just never got the jewlery shortend. When you first get it done, it swells alot so you need bigger jewlery to go in and then after 2 - 3 weeks you can get it changed to something tighter.
    Don't bother, if you leave the original in you can unscrew the ball easily. Keep it in your wallet and you barely notice what is there.

    Only problem is, it's soooo hard to eat with!
    My friend Kate has the same as me, and she has no trouble whatsoever, in fact she can sleep with the ball taken out.
    Comes out everytime I take a bite of anything! :D

    It's not a good idea to put a retainer in until the piercing is well healed, I made that mistake with my monroe piecing and it didn't like it at all.
