Pierced horn player?

So you are one of those people! I always wondered if a lip piercing would be a possibility for brass players. It's kind of like my brother when he was in college. He is an excellent tenor and was, of course, a voice major at school. But he really wanted to be a cheerleader. His teacher just couldn't understand how he would be able to sing after screaming cheers at a football game all afternoon. Or what if I decided to do boxing in my spare time?

Okay, okay, that´s not really the same thing, right? The beautiful piece of jewelry in the corner of your mouth, as you say, does not interfere with your embouchure. But as you get older, and start really making a living playing the horn (and all your financial security depends on your lips!!), you may start to take paranoid care of your magnificent lips.
