Facial piercings are the next to most popular type of piercing, ear piercings being the most popular. Facial piercings are a rather old and tribal form. Primative tribes used piercings as rites of passages, such as wedings and childbirth. Women commonly had labret piercings to mark a wedding, and the piercing was stretched for each year of the marriage. In some cultures, nose piercings were performed during pregnancy, as they were thought to make labor and childbirth easier on the woman.
There are a number of different types of facial piercings that you can choose from. Each piercing has a different healing time, but generally saline solution is the best way to heal any piercing. Now, if you get a mouth piercing, which is typically grouped with facial piercings, you don't want to swish your mouth with saline, but mouthwash. You can use a Q-tip of saline for outside of a labret piercing, but make sure to use mouthwash to clean the inside of the piercing.

The pain will vary per person. No one can answer "will it hurt" except to give a personal opinion, which may or may not be the same or around-about for you.
