I just got my lip pierced (left snakebite) two days ago and I just have a few questions.

Right now I have a CBR in there and it's only really comfortable when it is leaning to the side, toward the outside of my mouth. I'm not really thrilled with the way this looks and was wondering if this could be a result of crooked piercing? I went to a very nice studio and can't imagine they would screw up a simple lip piercing.

If I flip the piercing over so it is straight up and down the hardwear is too large to sit comfortably and if i flip it so it leans to the opposite side (toward the center of my mouth) it's painful and FEELS wrong.

Any clues as to what is going on here? CBR too large? Crooked piercing? Typical freshly pierced issues?

Thanks for any help you can give!

The ring is sitting like that because it's a larger ring to allow for swelling.  Once the swelling has gone down, you will be able to switch out the larger ring for a smaller ring that hugs the lip better.
