ABOUT THIS PIERCING
Spider Bites are a matched pair of lower-lip piercings placed closely together on one side of the mouth.
Their clustered placement creates a bold, asymmetrical look that can stay subtle with small studs or become more dramatic with different jewelry once fully healed.
Because the flat backs sit inside the mouth, proper placement and jewelry sizing are important for comfort and to help reduce unnecessary contact with the teeth and gums.
Your piercer will assess your anatomy and carefully plan the spacing between both piercings before marking the placement.
WHAT TO EXPECT
CONSULTATION & ANATOMY CHECK
We’ll assess your anatomy, answer any questions, and make sure this piercing is right for you.
Your piercer will carefully mark both piercings on one side of the lower lip, paying close attention to spacing, alignment, and your natural anatomy.
MARKING & PLACEMENT
The piercings are performed using sterile, single-use needles and professional jewelry.
THE PIERCING
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and have time to ask any additional questions.
AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
HEALING & AFTERCARE
Proper aftercare is important during healing. Keep both the outside and inside of the piercings clean, avoid unnecessary touching or movement, and follow the oral and external aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.
GOOD TO KNOW
Some swelling and tenderness are expected during the first few days, so initial jewelry is longer to leave room for swelling.
May Experience Swelling
Spacing Matters
Because the piercings sit close together, careful spacing helps the pair heal comfortably and keeps the final look balanced.
Initial jewelry allows room for swelling and should typically be downsized after 2 to 4 weeks to support comfortable healing.
Downsizing is Recommended
Be mindful while eating and talking, and avoid chewing, twisting, or repeatedly moving the jewelry while healing.
