What is a Snake Bites Piercing?
Snake Bites Piercing Location:
Labret piercings on both sides of the mouth. In order to achieve this look, you’ll need both sides of your bottom lip pierced to make it look like you’ve been bitten by a snake.
Snake Bites Piercing Process:
The snake bites piercing process is normally performed with a 14 or 16-gauge hollow piercing needle.
How much does a snake bites piercing cost?
Snake bite piercing cost depends on which piercing studio you’ll be attending. Labret studs can also vary in price, so it’s important that you talk to your piercing shop to get an accurate estimate.
Do snake bite piercings hurt?
Snake bite piercing pain depends mostly on your pain tolerance. We suggest talking to a professional piercer about pain management before getting pierced.
Snake Bites Piercing Jewelry
Recommended Snake Bites Piercing Jewelry:
Flat back labret lip rings, captive bead rings (circular barbells), horseshoe rings, and curved barbells are the most common types of jewelry for a snake bites piercing.
How much does snake bite piercing jewelry cost?
There are different types of lip jewelry, such as horseshoe rings, that may be higher in price than standard labret studs. We recommend calling a professional piercer to learn more about prices for body piercings and body jewelry. Jewelry materials can influence the price as well. Surgical steel and titanium jewelry are the most common.
Can I get an allergic reaction from my spider bite jewelry?
Having an allergic reaction to your jewelry is a possibility, and could result in a rash, redness, or bumps. Contact a piercing professional and make sure that getting a body piercing is the right move for you. Be sure to discuss jewelry material options before getting pierced. Check with a doctor beforehand to learn more about your allergies.
When can I change my labret piercing jewelry?
Make sure your piercing is completely healed before changing the original piece of jewelry. Once your body piercing is fully healed, you can change your piercing jewelry for fun labret studs, captive bead rings, horseshoe rings, and other fun body jewelry. Make sure to wash your hands and clean your new lip ring and piercing prior to insertion.
