The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.

Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.

The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Is it a bad idea to pierce your friends lip with snake bites?

Yes, it is a bad idea. I have snakebites, and my labret done - i did my labret myself, and my snakebites i had done by a profesional piercer. It is only now that i realise how stupid it is to pierce anywhere by yourself. Especially on the lip. There is a muscle that can be hit that may cause paralysis, and there is also a high chance that you will hit membrane and cause keloid scars which i assure you are not attractive.

Does snakebites hurt when you get it pierced?

There is some level of pain, however it is not exceptional. The main concern with snakebites like most piercings is the risk of infection. Snakebites can easily cause infection. But when getting pierced, the pain sensation is present, however the severity isn't particularly great. In the end it all comes down to your personal tolerance for pain though.
