Getting my lip pierced, what do i need to know?
12 years ago
So what do y'all think if i get Snake Bites (piercing on each side of my lower lip)? After I'm out of high school of course and have the money, but Ive thought about it for a while. I've had people say i would look good with them and some say the opposite, but I want to here from people who have mouth and lip piercing's. What kind of stuff should i know before i get them, what are problems you come across while warring them, what should i do as fare as keeping them clean and wares a good place to get it done?

Just make sure you brush your teeth every time you eat, and use mouthwash that DOES NOT contain alcohol. I've had my lip pierced 17 different times, so I have a bit of experience. :P

Make sure not to play with it a lot, if you touch it, make sure you wash your hands first. And DO NOT take it out until at least three weeks(only do this to change your ring if you want a different one), but do not leave it out until after about 6 weeks or so.

I have one and I found it was easy to care for. You might have some dead skin come loose, this is normal! do not worry. Also you can always rinse your mouth with salt water too to clean it. I only know places in Montreal so I can only suggest the place I went to and I do not know your location. Your lip might sweel for a few hours afterwards. Also it did not hurt me at all, and I've heard it is vary painless. Yeah like jdr said do not touch it . One side effect depending if you get rings or just studs is it in the long term it can effect your gums depending how low the piercing is. So it really depends where you want it.

well the closer to the lip line the better, when it is too low it can rub against the gum and eventually wear it down. Dentists hate all mouth piercings. I really like rings over studs just for looks. I only have one on one side.
