ABOUT THIS PIERCING
Angel Bites are a pair of upper lip piercings placed symmetrically on each side of the lip.
Their balanced placement creates a bold look while still allowing plenty of options for different jewelry styles once the piercings are fulled healed.
Because facial anatomy and natural symmetry vary from person to person, your piercer will assess placement before piercing to create the best possible look for your features.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
HEALING & AFTERCARE
Proper aftercare is important during healing. Keep the area clean, avoid unnecessary touching or movement, and follow the oral and external aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.
GOOD TO KNOW
Some swelling is normal, especially in the first few days after getting pierced.
May Experience Swelling
Anatomy & Symmetry
Natural facial and lip symmetry varies. Your piercer will carefully assess and mark both placements to create the most balanced result for your anatomy.
Initial jewelry allows room for swelling and should typically be downsized after 2 to 4 weeks to support comfortable healing.
Downsizing is Recommended
Because the jewelry sits inside the mouth, properly fitted jewelry and downsizing are important to help minimize unnecessary contact with the teeth and gums.
