I’ve got a massive lower lip piercing – people always ask if it affects my speech but I don’t regret getting it

A PROFESSIONAL piercer has hit back at those who are constantly questioning whether or not their huge lip piercing affects their speech.

Leaf has a labret stretcher on the lower lip, and regularly shows off the jewellery in videos posted on TikTok.

People are always commenting on the clips, with many asking questions about how the piercing affects Leaf’s daily life.

In a recent comment on one of the videos, someone wrote: “LMAO you can’t even speak.

“Do you not regret your lip/lower lip piercing?”

“Pretty sure I’m doing a pretty good job of speaking right now,” Leaf hit back.

“No, I don’t regret it.”

But not everyone was convinced by Leaf’s response.

“Everything’s fine but i cant talk properly,” one commented.

“Just can’t speak clearly,” another added.

While a third wrote: “Defo affects your speech and smile.

“But if you like it, that’s all that matters.”

Someone else asked Leaf whether or not the piercing affects the way they eat or drink, writing: “I don’t usually say anything to people but that’s bad.

“That looks really uncomfortable.

“Does that not damage your teeth, make it hard to eat? drink?”

Leaf once again responded by saying: “Nothing is bad. Nothing is damaging my teeth.

“Nothing’s uncomfortable.

“Everything’s fine – I can eat and drink like a normal human.”
