I've got a frenum, and I've gotta say it's well worth it. The pain is minor (although I must admit I used a topical anesthetic since I pierced it myself at a 12ga) and the results are great.
As for using the reversed ring, I've though of doing something like that, but I would think that would put too much stress on the piercing, even my barbell can do that at times.
Good luck with the piercing, and let us know how it goes.
