Method

The procedure begins by sterilizing the area of the piercing

Then the professional marks the points where the needle is going to enter and exit using a surgical marker.

Perforation is made by using a sterilized needle from the outside to the inside, it can be the other way round too depending on the preference of the customer and the expertise of the artist.

Jewelry is also threaded to the needle so that as soon as the perforation is made, it can be settled in the piercing.

Pain

Even though the lip is a sensitive area, this type of piercing is said to be less painful as compared to other lip piercings. Nevertheless, people do experience the pain of a needle perforating their body but those who have undergone the process have said that it is the first stage of healing that is likely to be the most painful. But then again the experience depends on one’s ability to bear the pain. At the same time, the technique adopted can make a huge difference in terms of the pain experienced.

Jewelry

Initially go for labret studs as they are easier to handle. Later you may replace it with ball closure rings or circular barbells. Make sure the jewelry initially used is larger in case of a ball closure ring and longer in case of a labret stud. It ensures there is enough space to accommodate the swelling. Usually, a pair of the same jewelry is worn on the piercing but people can mix and match with styles according to their preference.

Cost

The price you pay for a spider bites piercing can be anywhere between $40 – 80. But the cost may vary depending on the salon and the piercing artist. Also, factors such as the piercings made at the same time or at intervals contribute towards the pricing as well. The cost of the jewelry also affects the cost.
