I'm 14/f and I've been wanting snake bites [lip piercing] for over a year now. Anyways, since I'm not 18, the piercing people at the mall won't pierce my lips and my mom definately would not allow me to get my lips pierced.
Well, my friend got her lip pierced by her other friend, whom we will call J. My friend's piercing is good..no infections, mistakes, scarring, etc. J is going to pierce my lip next weekend and my friend is going to go get rings for my lips.
PLEASE DO NOT LECTURE ME
Questions:
1.What are the risks of getting my lip pierced?
2.Has anyone here personally had their own lips pierced by themselves/by a friend
3.What should J use to pierce my lips
4.What ring/clear plastic thingers should my friend get
5.How would you clean your lip piercing?
6.Any suggestions?
agonylucard answered Sunday March 11 2007, 2:36 pm: The typical piercing risks apply to lip peircings. You need to keep the piercing clean until the holes have fully healed. Theres always the possibility of infection, and because this is an oral peircing the risks of the infection spreading are higher.
I had snakebites for two years. I've also had a labret. Once I decided to allow the piercings to close up I was left with small scars. So should you decide to take out the rings, it will scar.
I see you've recieved some bad advice on this one. You need to have them done professionally. Period.
Do not do this yourself. Wait till you're 18 and go to a professional. That way you will be more likely to have a sucessful peircing. I cannot stress how important this is. It makes me cringe just to think that you would attempt it by yourself. Done well, Snakebites are amazing and fun! They're fashionable and edgy. Done badly, they're dangerous and look bad.
