Ok... i'm thinking bout getting Snakebites and i just have a few questions to ask. It would be much better if people who have aleady gotten snakebites.
Q1: Does it hurt when they first do the piercing
Q2: Do they use numbing cream? or can you put numbing crean yourself?
Q3: How long does it hurt for after the piercing?
Q4: How long must you keep the piercing in after the piercing?
Thats all... Please answer with all honesty. Thanks. : ) : )

I don't have snake bites but I have a Helix piercing which functions about the same way. Pain varies by person, I don't feel much pain so mine didn't hurt just stung a little right after. The act of piercing is fast, the needle takes about three seconds and with a hollow needle it's much less plainful. Your lip will probably be clamped away from your mouth to avoid hitting your gums. Swelling lasts a little while but in a couple days it should be fine as long as you don't bite down on them. Like with any piercing you should NOT take it out for 6 to 8 weeks. The initial piercing takes about that long to create some resistance to avoid rapid closing of the piercings. Keep it clean, don't play with them too much because that will make the healing process longer than if you leave the jewlery alone. No alcohols or ointments right on the jewelry, that will cause the build up to fuse to your jewelry and can cause infection. A little bit of neosporn right on the outside of the tender skin (not on the rings) should help with the little bit of tenderness. They will look great.

Well I have one side of my lip pierced and my answers for you are
Q1. I don't think that it hurt, and allot of people don't think it does either, but different people have different pain tolerances.
Q2. I don't think so, but if you want to numb it at all, I would say just use some oragel on it. I don't think that you would need it though.
Q3. Mine hurt for about a week I think, but I know it wasn't longer than that. I went to Whataburger right after I got it done, lol.
Q4. The lady told me 2 months, you can do that, but I think that after a month it would be okay to take it out for JUST A LITTLE BIT, and change the jewelry, AS LONG AS YOU CLEAN IT PRIOR TO PUTTING IT IN.
That's all I guess I can help you with, so yeah.
Layta,
Kaz
