The viper bite piercing, also known as the "spider bite" piercing, is a relatively new type of body piercing. Although it's hard to pinpoint an exact, concrete origin, it's
believed to have emerged sometime in the late 1990s.
The viper piercing now exists as a popular, stylish, and not-too-shocking body piercing. The viper piercing consists of two symmetrical piercings located on the lower lip. It is often done in one
sitting, but may take multiple visits depending on the individual's comfort level with the procedure.
The most common way to wear a viper lip piercing is with small barbells or rings, which can be customized with various colours and designs. Some people may opt for longer barbells or studs for a more
dramatic look.
No matter how you wear your viper lip piercing, you can be sure you're making a statement!

Viper Piercing Aftercare
Aftercare – When following Black Line Studio’s after care protocol, the healing time for a viper / spider bite
piercing is typically 4 to 6 months.
Lip-piercing viper bites can be slow to heal. The mouth harbours quite a bit of bacteria, which means you should go out of your way to ensure you're keeping it clean. It would help if you used a
sterile salt solution to clean each piercing twice daily.
During the healing process, avoiding harsh toothpaste and mouthwash is essential because these products will cause irritation and possible soreness around the location and directly inside your fresh
piercing. Stay as hydrated as possible, as hydration can keep harmful mouth bacteria from building up, and keep your piercing clean.
If you rest, ice, clean, and elevate (sleep with added pillows under your head to keep the swelling down), your piercing should heal without issue in the minimal time frame given by your piercer.
Everyone is different, but proper care will ensure proper healing.
