What is a snake bite piercing?

Snake bites are two separate piercings placed symmetrically on either side of the lower lip. They are performed exclusively with sterile needles, maintaining complete hygiene and precision. The procedure takes just a few minutes, and proper placement of the piercings is crucial for both aesthetics and comfort.

What jewelry should you choose for snake bites?

Labrets , horseshoes , or bananas are best for snake bites. At Nemearis, we can advise you on which jewelry is best for you to start with and help avoid irritation during healing. All our piercings are made of G23 titanium or gold – safe and hypoallergenic.

Healing snake bites

The healing process typically takes 3 to 6 months. During this time, you should wash the piercing site daily with saline, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and excessive touching of the piercings. Our piercers provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.

Are Snake Bites a good starter piercing?

If you don't have any lip piercings yet, it's worth starting with a single piercing—like a labret or medusa . Snake bites require a bit more care and awareness of your anatomy, but if you're ready, the results are worth it!

Snake bites styling and other combinations

Snake bites pair beautifully with other piercings, such as nostrils , vertical labrets , or septums . You can create your own unique look by combining different piercings in a cohesive and striking way.
