if the hole ever closes up don't force anything through. that just builds scar tissue that you will not be able to get rid of easily, if at all. while 14g isn't terribly big, it can still tear wrong by forcing it through. if it were to close again try 16, if its too small for that get something thats 18. once the 18 fits and is fine, then move slowly to 14 over a couple of weeks. you don't want to damage your skin/tissue.
oh and lip piercings really don't hurt at all. since you have to clean out your mouth with antiseptic and that your mouth is pretty numb when they pierce you. at least if they're fast it will be numb
Yeah, I was just too impatient to bother going through the guages again. Don't plan on letting it close up again
Maybe so, but I'm still a *****.
