But for those who don’t know, well, it is a rising trend, and here’s why! This piercing is located right above the lip. The location and the jewel can take up a very sleek and elegant look with a sublime lip stud or you can choose to be a bit more extravagant with a bold jewelry option. Many who chose to get this kind of piercing also go on for other kinds of styles like a labret piercing or other kinds of face piercing which will help accentuate this lip piercing.

1. Double Medusa: A double medusa piercing is a variation of the commonly piercing medusa which consists of two vertical punches below the septum. This style would look good with tiny and petite piercings which are put one on one.
