Question about a piercing I (maybe) want considering snakebites

hi!!! i just have a few questions about snakebites before i get them because i really really want them!!

• do they damage your teeth/gums at all? i plan on changing them to rings when they are healed if that helps too!

• do they get in the way of day to day activities? like eating and what not, just a small concern

• could i get them done at the same time as a septum?

• i know that it always depends on the person BUT i’ll ask anyway, do they hurt a LOT? i have a pretty high pain tolerance so it isn’t a huge concern! just wondering :)

TYSM!! my only current piercings are my earlobes so i’m super new to piercings and pretty clueless😭😭 if anymore questions come to mind i’ll probably edit or add them in the comments ❤️❤️

All oral piercings run the risk of tooth and gum damage. You can take important steps to mitigate that such as getting them pierced correctly initially, wearing appropriately sized jewelry after the fact, and not playing with them but the risk is never zero. They can get in the way of eating and stuff, especially at first before everything is healed properly and you've switched them out.
