What Are Snake & Angel Bites?

Snake and angel bites are piercings that occur on the upper or lower lip. Each type of piercing has two separate piercings located horizontally from each other. The lip is marked where the piercings will be placed and clamped to hold the lip in place to complete the piercings.

The snake bite piercing is done on the lower lip, just below the lip line. The two piercings resemble the puncture wounds produced by a snake giving the piercing its name. The two piercings are done at the same time and the initial jewelry is inserted. Snake bite jewelry includes ball closure rings, labret studs, smooth segment rings and even body spirals.

The angel bite is a similar to the snake bite piercing; however, the piercing is on the upper lip line instead of the lower lip line. The angel bite is also called a double Monroe piercing. Common jewelry for an angel bite is a labret stud made of titanium, surgical steel or niobium to reduce the risk of allergies. Sizing for an angel bite labret stud ranges from 14 to 18 gauge thickness.

These piercings are painful. According to the body jewelry shop the initial puncture will swell and possibly bleed for the few couple of days after the piercing is completed. The initial jewelry should accommodate for this swelling; if not, the jewelry can migrate and cause infections and not allow the wound to heal. The mouth and lips receive significant blood flow and heal fairly quickly. It is important to keep both the inside and outside of the piercing clean with saline solutions. For inside the mouth, use specialized mouth washes designed for oral piercings and use at least twice per day and after all meals.

The risks associated with the snake and angel bite are the location of the piercings. The jewelry can chip teeth or cause gums to bleed. To avoid these issues wearers can have jewelry with softer backings that won't damage the teeth or gums. Something to be considered with both piercings is that they must be aligned properly. If one piercing is just slightly higher or lower than the other the piercing won't look correct.
