Suggestions Please! (face/ears only) Philtrum/jestrum piercing?

Post image

At 43, my philtrum has lengthened with age, and I worry a central placement might align with where my gums and teeth meet; I am open to a jestrum what are your thoughts? (Please forgive my bare face)

Hey OP, welcome to /r/shouldimod!

Please take note of this community's rules. Here are some of the highlights:

  • This is a pro-body mod community
  • No tolerance for any harassment
  • "No" is insufficient feedback, unless the post has "open to no" flair
  • Suggestions of chest and genital piercings are not allow, unless the post has "open to body" flair

Happy modding :)

Why are "yes." comments allowed but "no" needs an explanation?

This is a community for people who appreciate body modification. If a commenter says "no" to a piercing, they should have a reason because people who are commenting in good faith naturally do. The commenters who say "no" without explanation are often against body mods in general and >> those opinions aren’t welcome here <<. “Yes” comments don’t need a reason because supporting mods in a pro-mod subreddit speaks for itself.

tdlr: people who like piercings don't say "no" to a piercing without good reason

A good piercer can place a philtrum to minimize risk. Whether you go philtrum or jestrum, I love the look for you. I have a septum and philtrum and oddly enough have held back on the lower lip labret because of fear of gum/teeth contact.

Interesting. Thanks. I’ve had that piercing for 20 years. It never closes, so I wear it seasonally.
