Before we kick off this guide to getting a spider bite piercing, we want to remind you that some body piercings take longer to heal than others and that healing times can vary from person to person. Standard labret piercings usually take about 3-6 weeks to heal, while spider bite piercings take anywhere from 1 to 3 months. To help avoid complications, cleaning your lip piercing regularly is a must during the healing process. It’s also important to keep the original jewelry in while the piercing heals.

How long should I wait to change my spider bites piercing jewelry?

Spider Bites Healing Time and Spider Bites Tips:
The spider bite piercing healing times vary from person to person. Typically, a spider bites lip piercing takes about 1-3 months to completely heal. We recommend talking to a piercing professional about the healing period, piercing pain or swelling, and cleaning routines before getting your piercing. Make sure to keep up with piercing aftercare to help prevent infection. If you’re experiencing lower lip pain after the first two weeks, contact your doctor to make sure your body piercing is healing properly.

How do you give yourself a lip ring?
You don’t! Lip piercings (or any other kind of body modification) need to be done professionally to prevent any possible infections or other complications during the healing process.
Why shouldn’t I get a lip piercing?
If you’re questioning whether or not you should get a body piercing or any type of body modification, we recommend talking to a professional and considering everything before committing. Not every piercing is for everyone, and that’s okay! Take your time deciding if you want a lip piercing, and speak with a professional piercer to make sure you’re making the best decision you can for your body. We recommend starting with a standard labret lip piercing if you haven’t had your lip pierced before. If you decide that you want a lip piercing, Spencer’s has tons of cute jewelry to choose from. Not ready to get a lip piercing? We have plenty of fake piercing jewelry to choose from, too!
Now that we’ve gone over all this important piercing info, let’s go shopping! No matter what kind of body jewelry you’re looking for, Spencer’s has it all. Looking to learn more about lip piercings, ear piercings, tongue piercings, and more? Head to The Inspo Spot!
