Today, I got my snake bite piercings done. Here's some things to consider. I am not a professional. I have experience with tattoo parlors, though!
TW/CW: body modification, open wounds, aftercare, piercing safety tips
- PAIN: tolerance is different for every body. Mine was a 7/10 cause I'm a smol bean! I even have 6 tattoos and other piercings and it STILL sucked
- AFTERCARE: bactine/saline solution, q-tips, non-alcoholic mouthwash, no spicy food, avoid dairy, avoid sour foods, & things like no swimming or hot tubs
- HEALING: 6-8 months to properly heal. Don't change the studs to rings too early! Please be careful. Only you really know your own body. Listen to it. If there's trouble, go back to the parlor and they'll help you! Use non-alcoholic mouthwash after you eat to keep your new wounds clean!!
- EAT BEFORE YOU GO so you don't pass out. I mean, a MEAL. Nutrition is going to help your body heal up nicely.
- ice packs! 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off
- I typically go for a peircer who has at LEAST 10 years experience. Call the parlor beforehand. Maybe visit them and communicate with who they are ! Get to know them and become community (I'm a social butterfly though!!)
- swelling and bruises are normal ! If there are signs of infection, ask your artist about steps to care for it or if you need to retire it (to retire a piercing is to take it out !)
- be kind to yourself! Take good care of them, and they can last a long time !! :)

If I missed anything, share it in the comments! Again, I am not a professional, I'm actually a custodian.

Is it normal to feel like a little dizzy after changing a new piercing for the first time? Cause i got my second lobe piercing done almost 8 weeks ago and i changed it for the first time today and my ears felt muffled and i got kinda dizzy
