Snake Bite Piercing

With a snake bite piercing, two lip piercings (labret) are placed, one on the left side of the lower lip and one on the right side, so that they look like snake teeth placed slightly to the side. The lip piercing is always done with a longer jewelry so that the jewelry does not press on the lip in case of slight swelling. You can only switch to a shorter jewelry after the healing time is complete.

Care and healing:

  • The total healing time of the lip after insertion of the piercing is 3-5 weeks.

  • Under no circumstances should the newly inserted piercing be turned, moved or played with, as this impedes the healing process.

  • A freshly inserted piercing should not be removed during the entire healing period, as the hole can grow over in a very short time without jewelry.

  • Only use alcohol-free products for care.

  • After a lip piercing, the consumption of dairy products is prohibited for one week. Alcohol consumption and smoking slow down the healing process.

  • Protect the piercing from damage, if possible do not pinch it, do not pull on it (e.g. when brushing your teeth).

  • Treat the piercing externally 2-3 times a day with an anti-inflammatory product (piercing care spray) until it is completely healed.

  • After every meal and after smoking, rinse the mouth thoroughly with alcohol-free mouthwash (e.g. Listerine). This should be continued until healing is complete.
