snakebites...?
okay. so, i've been wanting to get snakebites for a while. its where you have one lip ring on one side of your mouth and another on the other side of your mouth. the only thing is my mom won't let me get them, because she thinks they'll hurt too much and that they'll get infected? has anyone ever had snakebites, and do they hurt alot, and waht are the chances of them getting infected and around how much do they cost?.
thanks.

I have snakebites now, i got them about a month ago. And they kind of hurt for me, but thats probably because im a baby and i cant really take pain. I think it just depends on the person, some people might think it hurts, then another one might think it doesnt.
They wont get infected if you take care of them and clean them. If you dont keep them clean and stuff, they will get infected and that would be gross. Just take care of them and you'll be fine.
It really depends where you go for your snakebites. Some places charge alot. Mine were $50, but other places could be alot cheaper than where i got mine. My friend did hers herself, and hers are just as hottt as mine. :]

They do hurt a little but it's not really too bad. I have a friend who does his own peircings all the time.
The cost can be pretty expensive unless you're lucky and know someone who will do it for cheap. There's a place around my house that does it for $10 on tuesdays.
And as long as you're gargling with salt water after you eat/smoke/drink/etc. you should be fine. :]

Piercings can get pretty expensive. I suppose it would depend on where you got it done at. Check with all the areas where you live in which you could get the piercings and compare prices. You probably won't find anything cheaper than $40-$50. Even that seems low. When my friend got her nose pierced, it was $80. As for pain, yea, it hurts, but it's no different than any other piercing. Your body is going to reject the piercing at first, causing redness and swelling, but that will fade with time. It's important that a professional does it for you so it won't cause any permanent damage and it's even more important that you clean the piercings twice a day, perhaps more. As long as you keep them clean and follow the advice the professional gives you, an infection is highly unlikely.

I don't have snakebites, but I have friends have the spiderweb [snakebites with another piercing in the middle], and they said that it doesn't hurt.
But, pain varies from person to person. What might hurt to someone else, might not hurt to another person.
As for them getting infected, they won't get infected if you keep them clean. If you just leave them there, and do nothing to take care of them, then they're gonna get infected. That's a definite. But, if you're pretty good about cleaning and taking care of them, they should be fine.
As for the cost, it depends where you go. Some piercing places are cheap [around $35-40], but some places can be fairly expensive charging over $50.
Also, try to remember this for health causes: If you walk into a place, and they take you to the back & their needles are already laid out, walk out of there immeadiately; because chances are, they're dirty. Make sure they open everything in front of you, and explain everything to you. Such as what they're gonna do, how it's done, what they're using, and how to clean & take care of your piercing. If they do none of that, I suggest leaving because they're dirty, and they'll probably infect you with something.
There have been many cases of dirty piercing/tattoo parlors & people getting sick or getting diseases/infections because of them. So keep that in mind.
