Answer 1

You're gorgeous! I think you'd look amazing with snakebites, but instead of rings, I'd get the studs. It depends on your pain tolerance, but for me, it didn't hurt. It felt like a pinch, and afterward it will be a but sore, with swelling and such. If you take care of it (salt water soaks, listerine), it most likely wont get infected, and your piercer will tell you all the necessary steps for aftercare. Usually piercers use 16g, but it depends on the piercer. The side they pierce it from also depends on the piercer, because they all have their own techniques. Mine were pierced from the outside, and they didn't hurt one bit =D Hope this helped, and good luck.

Answer 2

yeah, itd look good on you :p

Answer 3

i say get it on the side. i think snakebites would crowd your face. and i suggest doing a stud as opposed to a ring. and i think if you took it a little  easier on the eyeliner and smiled would be even prettier.  

Answer 4

snakebites or a right side lip ring.  

Answer 5

you are GORGEOUS like seriously<33 But anyways, I think snakebites would look very nice on you.

And to your other questions:

It doesn't hurt at ALL like just a little pinch for one second and then after it's done you'll say "That's it?!" I've had my lip done, septum, and monroe and I have a very low pain tolerance and it didn't hurt a bit.

It won't get infected if you clean it the right way.

To stop it from being infected wash you're mouth out with Listerine after every meal DON'T touch it, run warm water on a q-tip to clean up all the scabs and goo. And spray first aid anti-bacterial spray on it to keep it clean. You're piercer should tell you everything you need to do.

Snakebites or a lip piercing are a different price everywhere it should probably be around $40-$80 depending what type of jewelry you buy.

I'm not sure the size gauge they use, probably 16g or 18g. I'm not very sure though.

And they pierce the outside in, they don't pierce the inside because it would hurt more. But i've seen some piercers do it from the inside out.

If you want to know more go to youtube and search lip piercing i'm sure there is tons of video of people getting snakebites and lip piercings.

So I hope this helps!

And good luck! : D
