What is vertical snakebites?

Vertical snakebites are a type of body modification that involves piercing both sides of the lower lip symmetrically with two separate pieces of jewelry. This creates the appearance of snakebites, which is where the name comes from. Vertical snakebites differ from regular snakebites in that the piercings are placed vertically instead of horizontally.

The piercings are typically done using a hollow needle and can be quite painful. Some people choose to stretch their vertical snakebites over time to accommodate larger jewelry, while others prefer to keep them small and discreet.

As with any piercing, there is a risk of infection and other complications, so proper aftercare is essential. It's also important to research and choose a reputable piercer who uses proper sterilization techniques.

Vertical snakebites are a popular choice for those looking to express their individuality and make a statement with their appearance. They can be styled in a variety of ways with different types of jewelry, from simple studs to larger gauge hoops or spikes.
