If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.[9/2/08] [5/7/08] [16/7/08] [23/9/09] [28/5/10] [29/5/10] [3/6/10]

Ok, I am 19 years old. I am a male. I really want to get snake bites and earrings. here's why
1) I think they could fit me
2) I want to look better and not so much as a dork
3) I'm just into piercings.
Any thoughts on this. I will take whatever thoughts you have. I am more of a person who get's others opinions before making a decision
Go for it, you'll never know unless you try.
I've had 3 lip piercings in total. I only kept 1 in in the end though. I took one out soon after it was pierced which left me with no scarring.. but the other was in for a good 7ish months which has left me with a little dot. So if you go for it and think you made a bad decision, the sooner you take it out, the better it'll heal.
If you decide you want lip piercings, consider getting one done at a time. I say this, because some people react differently and get pretty swollen - whereas others don't. Also, it's strange to eat at first. So if you only get one side done first, you can eat on the other side while it heals. and then you can get the other piercing after yours has healed.. Which can take some lucky people anywhere between 2 weeks and the average healing time 4-8 weeks (like I said, everyone is different)
Now onto the ears.. Ear piercings (lobe) rarely get in the way. At night for the first few days while it's a bit tender, sleep on your back (if you get both ears pierced) and be extra careful when getting dressed so you don't forget and accidentally snag them. and if you have longer hair, be careful it's kept away while they heal.
Other parts of the ear (cartilage) are pretty much the same - they just take longer to heal and are more tender at first.
Just remember, go to a reputable piercer and he/she will explain it all to you anyway. So if you're still uncertain about what you should do, go for a little chat. :)
Let me know what the outcome is. and if you need further help, don't hesitate to contact me.
Good luck!
(Rating: 5) thank you so so so much for your advice. I did only get one lip done with my two ears. It didn't really hurt and it still doesnt' I got them a few hours ago. As far as swelling it hasn't happened. "YET" Thanks for all you help
