Pierce me baby!>=)


Question Posted Thursday September 24 2009, 5:16 pm

Ok I'm turnning 16 in 4 weeks and my dad agreed to let me get any piercing I want! I really want Vertical Snake Bites!

Like this dude has: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)


But I can't find any shop that'll do it for me since I'm 16 :(
I live in Illinois, anyone know a nice CLEAN shop that'll do it for me? In Illinois, Idiana and Wisconsin at most. If not...My second choice are Spider Bites.

Like so: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)


I'd be getting them on both my left and right side, so it'd be four times...o-o
Know any place that'll do either or for me? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TELL ME!!!!>:U

One more thing I'm looking to get my septum too, but, I'd like to know. Do you think I should wait a while first before I get 'em or get everything done at the same time?

--Thank you!<3

I can't help you with the "where" because I live in Kansas. I only suggest places I've personally had experience with.

It's odd that they won't do it for you, even based on your age. Around here, you aren't allowed to set foot in the shop until you are 16. At age 16, you can have tattoos and body piercings, but you must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who also must sign for permission. Of course, this may vary by state law and/or shop rules, I suppose.

As for the "when"
You can pierce it all at once if you really want, but that is a lot of caring at once. Its also a lot of trauma to your face at once.

The professional will be able to give you the best advice on how to go about doing it, but in my opinion, I'd say there's no reason you can't do all of your lip piercings at once. Personally, I think it would be easier to care for all of them at once rather than on separate occasions.

I will give you one thing to keep in mind: When doing them at once, each one done is the more traumatized your lip will become. It will likely hurt a little more with each piercing.

I'd say you probably want to avoid doing the septum and lip at the same time, though. Whichever you decide to do first, let it heal, then go for the other. Or that's my advice on it, anyway.


The lip isn't that bad of a healing process, I might add. I have a vertical labret, and other than my ear lobes, it was fastest healing piercing out of all of them I've had.

In Rockford Illinois, Here are some shops more likely to give you what you want in spite of your age IF your dad goes in with you and signs forms to that effect. (Call to find out for sure)

Sacred Art Tat
406 E. State St.
(815) 708 7888

Goldies Tat and Bod Piercings
1304 Broadway
(815) 963 3700

Cellar Dwellar Tats and Body Mod

It's been a cpl years since I lived in Illinois so not sure who's still where, but Cellar Dwellar and Dreamline are your best bet for underage mods. Chances are if they won't do it...

Good luck, and Dreamline is really good if they'll do it, I've still got them on speed dial =)!

Look online, or your local phone book.
I like the spider bites better, but it's up to you, try contacting as many shops as you can. Be sure to check for cleanlyness too, wait to get your septum done, I suggest get one side done first for your spider bites as well, then get the others done. Happy piercing :]

definity get oneside done at a time because if you get all four done you will be in so much pain and wont be able to move your lip.its safer to get oneside done at a time aswell and less risk with infections etc.

sorry i dont live in Indiana so i cant help you with anything else

I actually like the spiderbites better than the vertical snakebites. However, I don't suggest getting it on both. It's usually just a one side thing. Adding a septum to it would be even worse because it would make your face look cluttered with metal. The last thing you wanna do is look like Trace Cyrus.

Get the spiderbites & leave it at that. You need to pull out the phone book & call around. Either that, or search the internet. Do any of your friends have piercings? Ask them where they got theirs done.
