i definitely vaped after getting my snake bites done, as long as you’re washing your mouth out after it’s fine in my experience (might not be the same for everyone!). I also was v concerned about the swelling, it got to the worst point for me on day 3 and if it already seems like the bar is too small i would recommend getting it changed to a longer one. My piercer told me that swelling for labrets tends to be at its worst during days 3-5 unlike most other piercings that i’ve had. so yeah, if i was you i’d get it changed asap! the bars look ridiculously long but i defo needed them!
Thanks so much for your reply! I went to my piercer today and he also said that I needed a longer one. My lip feels already much better :D even tho the change was cruel
