Alright, I pierced my monroe in like.. mid july. and now i want to pierce the other side, thus, angel bites.
So this is wats up.
i have a 14g cbr in my lip, and the only straight labret i have is a 16g, so like, i obviously want them to match, so could i get away with piercing my lip, then putting a cbr in it without complications?
This is what’s up.
Piercing yourself is dangerous on so many levels. You run the risk of disfiguring scarring to being terminally sick from giving yourself an infection that cannot be treated.
When you get pierced by a professional piercer, you’re paying for skilled services.
How do you have any idea tat your straight labret barbell you have is long enough to fit your fresh piercing?
Are you taking into consideration that piercing one side of your mouth will result in the swelling to spread across the lips and possibly affect the fit on the jewelry you wear in your current monroe piercing?

fireship on November 23rd, 2008 at 2:33 pmWhy is it every one seems to be self piercing these day ? *rolls eyes*
V Girl on November 23rd, 2008 at 3:26 pmWouldn’t that simply be a double Monroe?
HereKittyKitty on November 24th, 2008 at 2:24 amI’ve never really heard of angel bites. DO angels bite?
What do you mean “self piercing these days”? People have been piercing themselves, their friends, and family members since the Stone Age.
I do want to point out that the epidemiological situation is different now (i.e. back in the Stone Age people lived in little tribes and weren’t spreading pathogens all over the globe by airplane), but the fact that piercing traditions even came into existence means that self-piercing without benefit of autoclave is not virtual suicide.
I’m not defending people who self-pierce carelessly and screw up their bodies, but Lexci’s response seems like an overreaction/scare tactic.
Xenobiologista on November 24th, 2008 at 8:51 pmMy apologies Xenobiologista the ‘these days’ comment was directed at the fact a lot of the askBME questions in the past few weeks have mentioned self piercings. rather than the general history of piercings themselves.
Good point HereKitty Kitty, do there? :S
V Girl on November 25th, 2008 at 11:55 amNope, Angel’s don’t bite. But they do kiss. That’s where freckles come from after all. Or maybe my mom made that up
Gypsy on November 25th, 2008 at 12:41 pmYeah it does seem that everyone is answering self piercing questions lately, Instead of questions that are rare and unique, like my damn grey ink question…. Ohwell, that’s what happens. Yeah Angel bites is almost as dumb as labrey. maybe more.
Lucas Reichennek on November 25th, 2008 at 8:33 pmYou never heard the term Angel Bites?
Cathy on November 30th, 2008 at 7:27 amThey’re double monroes…
&I’m the one who asked this question..
BME.. Thanks for nothing, I’ll just pierce it myself… Watch it NOT get infected. I know how to pierce so don’t EVEN try to lecture me.
Cathy, the term “angel bites” is an EXTREMELY recent (and very scene kid) slang term for the combination of piercings you describe, it’s true. Most people interested in body modification who aren’t in high school derive a great deal of pleasure from ragging on the latest scene trends in piercing. Ah, just deal with it, you’ll do it too when you’re our age. You’re only fifteen, give it time, eh?
As for the rest of your post (and comments), well, you’re the one who wrote in asking for advice, and sucks for you if you don’t like the advice you got, I guess! You clearly DON’T “know how to pierce” properly, judging by your obvious ignorance of even a basic understanding of fitting jewellery, so you would be better off having it done properly by a professional piercer - the piercings are certainly more likely to end up properly placed and evenly positioned than if you DIY it.
I think the Palin family are already setting the gold standard for Wasilla idiocy - why not try to drag the Mat-Su Valley up a notch in the world’s estimation by NOT acting like daft, petulant little kid when presented with factual information that you just don’t like?
Lori St.Leone on November 30th, 2008 at 12:29 pmAngelbites.. snakebites.. spiderbites.. vampirebites..

San on December 4th, 2008 at 12:08 amWill the shitty names ever end?
Or are they going to stick?
I like how you answered and the kid is just gonna do it anyways.. hahaha.
My advice: Buy new fucking jewellery and have it autoclaved at least..
I agree that in this case the person who posted the question should most definitely seek out a pro as they are obviously not educated enough to go about piercing themselves properly. But at the same time I think the response of lexi like Xenobiologista said seems like a scare tactic as I feel that as long as you’re an educated adult and you research what piercing you’re doing self piercing can be a very rewarding and viable activity. It’s definitely not the dangerous activity it’s trying to be portrayed as in this response. That’s not to say that all piercings should be done by oneself there are obviously some very complicated ones out there that should be done by a pro with the proper knowledge of said piercing, but still this response was a bit over dramatic. Oh and I HATE the term angelbites too I also hate the term monroe though I have to admit it’s much easier than saying off center upper lip piercing, just as it’s a lot easier to say double monores when refering to two but I still wont say angelbites it’s dumb lol.
G on December 6th, 2008 at 4:15 amHow does anyone fit a CBR in their upper lip anyway???

Lexci on December 6th, 2008 at 6:39 pmIf you really think that my response was over dramatic, please do the research that I (as a professional piercer) have and tell me the same thing. This isn’t a risk of some obscure worst-case-scenario infection. It’s a scarily more common occurance than what you seem to think.
Lucas, why do you care about what pierce if you had any observational skills of the piercing vs society battle you’ll notice that even a guy to get his ears pierced was considered dumb among many other things, piercings are the same to most people as fashion is things change get used of it skippy
JonnySelfStabber on June 21st, 2009 at 9:52 pmi thought the double monroes where called crayfish piercings?
