Snakebites.

I don't want to dictate because I don't have a piercing, although when I was younger, I had a safety pin in my ear. I wore two studs at one point. But a couple of years ago, I lost a stud, and just let my remaining ear piercing heal over. As to the "snakebite" piercing...I can't say whether it will hurt or not, but I feel it might, because the skin of the lips is incredibly tender. I'm no medical expert but from what I understand, the lips/mouth area is more than just skin; it's part skin; and part mucous membrane (which doesn't have the tough coating of normal skin); and therefore I would personally say the inner part of the lips is very very sensitive indeed. Speaking, eating may be temporarily affected and as the mouth is such a vital part of a person's presentation of self, I'd not want that to be swollen and sore, even if only temporarily; but then that's just me; it's not for me to dictate as I say; and I'm no longer as young as I was; young people are much more resilient than me. However...to get an infection of the ear is bad enough, but of the mouth? Ouch! But then I am sure they are very rare; and two lips piercings may pass without event; and I am being unnecessarily alarmist. I cannot say for sure. I'd say...think seriously about it. Do you really want it? Because it's quite a commitment. If it were me I'd not risk it, but then I'm a bit chicken. My advice would be...get in touch with some professional piercers; and have a real deep chat with them. They will be able to help you. All the very best of luck!

i have snake bites done and for me it didnt really hurt at all. then again ive had many piercings done. i also have a high pain tolerance. when u do get them make sure the placement of them is good. dont want the jewelry to eventually make your gums recede.
