What is a snake piercing?
Snakebite piercing is when the lower lip is pierced twice, once on both sides. This creates two holes that look like a snake. Several different types of body jewelry such as labret, rings or dumbbells can be used with this piercing. Two pieces of jewelry are sometimes associated with a chain or combined with tattoos. Piercing can also be directly on the lip or sometimes just below it. This type of piercing is somewhat popular and is a relatively simple procedure. Like all body piercings, some basic measures should be taken to ensure proper healing and prevent injuries.
Like most lip piercings and oral piercing, the piercing snakebite usually recovers quickly and easily. The mouth area has enough blood, helping to speed up healing. Piercing is performed in a similar way to other oral piercings. Piercer refers to areas to be pierced, and then uses the terminal to hold the lip and insert a penetrating needle, followed by Židelry. Most piercinGs of snakes are performed simultaneously, although it is sometimes suggested to pierce one side, wait until it gets recovered, and then pierces the other. This method can minimize swelling and healing.
swelling is a common problem with snake piercing. Piercer can help choose suitable jewelry on the body that leaves enough space for initial swelling. Although most swelling are smaller and leave in a short period of time, jewelry that is too tight can prevent the correct recovery of piercing and can also cause infection. If a snake piercing causes a large amount of pain, bleeding or swelling, the jewelry can be too small and should be replaced with a larger set.
Proper cleaning is also very important for new piercing. Many piercing studies recommend rinsing with mouthwash treated several times a day, including all meals. The outerpiercing should also be rinsed with a saline or soaphem and water. Jewelry should not be removed for cleaning, as oral piercings can close very quickly.
People who have snake piercing or other oral jewelry should be careful not to bite at it because it can grant or burst teeth or cause other injuries in the mouth. Take a small bite of food while eating and chew slowly. After the piercing has recovered completely and there is no further swelling, return to the piercing shop to get shorter labrets, as incorrectly large jewelry can also contribute to mouth injuries.
