Crooked lip piercing....or is it too far out?
So i just pierced my lip with snakebites. And my left one is slightly down from my right. And out a lil. I have very high swelling and it tends to hurt and bleed when I take my ring out. I use spiral lip rings for this. I have had studs in And i talked to my family for hours and they didn't notice it was crooked until I asked them. so my question is. What should I do? Repierce it? And how can I make th swelling go down?

I know..I'm young. .-.

Number one...I speak from experience, don't pierce holes into your body if you haven't a clue or good depth perception. The mirror lies! Anyways, don't take it out & be putting it back in don't even touch it with your bare fingers. Use a qtip to clean it, keep it in until swelling goes down, if you remove the piercing it can trap bacteria inside & cause a terrible infection. Plus the crookedness could be from swelling, in any case do salt water soaks 3 times a day to suck out any & all nasty gunk leaking from your lip piercing. It should be 1/3 of a tablespoon of sea salt (or table salt) to every 1/2 cup of water. This will sooth any pain, help swelling come down & drain of puss & or blood. After about maybe a week or so you can choose to whether to keep it in or take it out & redo it.
I had double spider bites left & right done by myself as well, one of the left ones was lower but with time your piercing tend to migrate, a perfectly straight symmetrical piercing can even heal crooked do to facial quirks / expressions people do. So it's not uncommon to see crooked piercings especially with how many people do them themselves, lol. So I wouldn't worry about it, plus if your family didn't really notice it until you actually stood still & had them look at it, then chances are no one else will.
Soooo, there you have it. I don't condone anyone especially under 18 with no piercing experience to punch holes in them selves, but if they do at least be sterile about it! Anyways enjoy your piercings, I enjoy mine; all 17 of them! ;)
