Some lower lip piercings are referred to as bites, as they resemble the holes left by an animal's teeth. For example the Snake Bites or "snake bite", with piercings one on each side of the lower lip.
If the holes in the center of the lower lip are two it is a dolphin bite, Dolphin Bites; a double piercing on the same side is the Spider Bites, the "spider bite"; Shark Bites or "shark bite" has two holes on both sides of the lower lip.

Lower lip piercing precautions and risks
You must always take great care of a piercing and fight any infections in every way. After having a piercing, take care of the hygiene of the oral cavity consistently, rinse with mouthwash, use saline solutions, so as not to favor the proliferation of bacteria and avoid the sun and sand for a while, if you are al sea. Be especially careful if you have a deficient immune system. As the material of the jewel we recommend gold and surgical steel. Do not choose them in nickel and brass to avoid possible allergies. Avoid spicy, hot or hard-to-chew foods, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, and chewing gum. Alcohol is irritating and slows the wound healing time. Smoke contains harmful substances that can inflame the hole and expose it to infection. Compared to other piercings, the one on the lower lip is less painful. For example, the one on the tongue not only causes a lot of pain, it is also much more difficult to treat. The lower lip piercing, according to many who have it, hurts and burns a lot, but only in those brief moments in which it is applied: the pain then passes immediately. Obviously, some have a low pain threshold and others a very high one; therefore it is not possible to generalize. After applying the piercing, the lip may swell, but after just one day it should appear healed and without bleeding or pus. The contact that the applied jewel has with teeth and gums can create some problems. The continuous impact tends to irritate the gum even in a serious way; moreover, the metal of the piercing, deteriorating, can alter the natural pH of the oral cavity and damage the tooth enamel.
If you play sports and play on football or tennis courts, we recommend that you take it off before starting the game, to avoid getting entangled in the nets on the fields or in some opponent's clothing. Wounds need to be disinfected about twice a day for seven days. The hole on the lower lip must be made with a sterile needle. Lower lip piercing care should last for about two to three months. You also need to be careful not to cause the hole to widen, which could leave a noticeable scar, when you decide to remove it. If you still notice redness or swelling, stabbing or bleeding after a week, see a dermatologist. The specialist, if any swelling or discomfort does not go with careful hygiene and topical anti-inflammatory drugs, can prescribe antibiotics suitable for oral infections. And also pay close attention if you kiss your partner too hard, at least for a few weeks!
