So I'm thinking about getting my lip pierced

Basically, I really, really want to get my lip pierced, but I don't know if I should. The last piercing I had was a scaffolding nearly two years ago and that did not end well, I still have the piercing in but I frequently have problems with it, but apparently that's common with cartilage piercings.

I'm stupidly scared about it hurting too. My sister has her lip pierced twice and she says that it doesn't hurt a lot, but I sit there biting my bottom lip and realizing how thick it is and freaking myself out. It's stupid really because I got my scaffolding without flinching.

I just need to stop thinking about it. The scaffolding was sort of a spur of the moment thing, even though I had thought about getting one done but wasn't actually going to, and that didn't hurt at all. I get worked up over silly stuff.

My solution was to put Bonjela on my lip to make it numb, but it makes me drool like crazy. Do you think they would notice?
