I'm going to disagree with some of the others.

As far as the tattoo goes, it shouldn't take so long. I have a tie-dyed peace sign on my hip which only took about 30 minutes. A simple wrist tattoo should last anywhere from 10-20 minutes.

Now, this goes for BOTH the tattoo and lip piercing. I can't tell you (and neither can anyone else) if it's going to hurt or swell. Everyone's pain tolerance is difference, and how our bodies react to it. When I got my belly button pierced, it hurt. But, when my friend got hers done, she felt next to nothing. It all depends on the person, and how your body reacts to physical pain. Swelling may occur, it might be inevitable. But, how badly it swells also depends on YOUR body. When I got my tongue pierced, I only experienced some swelling (no pain whatsoever on my end). When my sister had hers done a few years back, she couldn't even move her tongue or open her mouth to talk. So, as you can see, pain tolerances are all different.
