My gums are eroding away thanks to the labret piercing. eroded gums! it's what i always wanted! anyways the guy said i couldnt do anything about it except put a plastic backing in that might be easier on them. if not i have to take it out before my teeth fall out. that would be awsome. so it looks like this piercing will be short lived, but at the moment i look like a g-unit because its a diamond.
