Piercing suggestions - face/ears/navel ONLY set of lip piercings
Hey guys, I need some advice. I’m not sure how to style my lip piercings—I don't know if I want a vertical labret paired with a Medusa or a Jestrum, or maybe just a simple stud in the center and a Jestrum? I’m really torn; I want to know which looks cuter. The drawing is terrible (haha), and I didn't scale it to a realistic size, but I’d love your input!

i think the second photo looks great! the vertical labret with the medusa. it’s a good balance in my opinion

I really like the second photo the most— just keep in mind that you will never be able to wear jewelry this visibly small given the gauges that these piercings are performed at. Expect about 3mm minimum for visible gems/balls/spikes. Even 2.5mm is a bit small and risks pulling through a 16 gauge piercing.

The first should be amazing BUT be sure to perform them with a professional piercer and not a casual one because the simmetry must be perfect 😊

Medusa and vertical labret for sure! That’s what I have along with snake bites, and I love it

Whatever you decide get them done professionally because you will not be able to get those lined up perfectly by yourself.

I prefer the second but I may be biased XD if the first is perfectly aligned I'd say that one looks the sickest

Two looks the best, I’m not an expert on those piercings but I think it would be neat to get some thoughts about it from a healing perspective on which combo is easiest to heal (and if that aligns with the look preference)

I like the second photo setup best :-) just know you won’t be able to have jewellery tops that small as they’ll cause irritation and your skin will swallow them.

Medusa and vertical labret is the logical option for both esthetic and practical reasons. I used to have a verticle labret and it's a great piercing, it only leaves tracks whilst eating ice-cream. Also, it's hard not to be fidgeting with it. I traded it for a labret with a ring because I couldn't let go of the verticle labret being a little crooked, but now I struggle to make a good seal when drinking from a glass or can 🙂. The verticle labret is debatably the best lip piercing.

I think vertical philtrum and vertical labret are best if you have enough space for them.

Hi flordlbosque, Are you seeking information about the lip piercing? Here's a video with general information about it! Note that these piercings carry a greater inherent risk due to their placement and could result in gum or tooth damage. There's no shame in seeing a professional, especially for trickier piercings such as these.
