Collection: Medusa Piercings

Welcome to our curated Medusa Piercing Jewellery collection—expert-selected implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) pieces for your medusa piercing. From classic threadless labrets to internally threaded studs and decorative labret jewellery, you'll find the perfect medusa earring to express your unique style.

Your medusa piercing sits in the centre of your upper lip, creating an instantly recognisable and striking facial statement. It's bold, it's fashionable, and it demands quality jewellery that feels comfortable during everyday wear—talking, eating, and drinking all become part of your medusa experience.

Understanding Your Medusa Piercing

Your medusa sits in a prominent facial location directly above your upper lip. This positioning makes it incredibly visible and transformative to your appearance. Many people love that medusa piercings create the perfect focal point for facial jewellery—you might also have septum piercings, nostril studs, or monroe piercings to create a comprehensive facial aesthetic.

The medusa is named for mythology's Medusa, with her snake-adorned head—though your medusa jewellery can be anything you want it to be, from subtle studs to bold statement pieces.

Medusa Jewellery Styles & Gauges

Your medusa typically wears 16G (1.2mm) jewellery. Popular medusa earring styles include:

• Threadless labrets: Push-fit studs where the decorative top simply pushes onto the post—quick and easy to change, perfect for daily wear. Our most popular medusa choice
• Internally threaded labrets: Screwing studs where the internal threading means no sharp edges inside your mouth—important for oral comfort
• Labret studs with 6mm posts: The standard size for medusa piercings, allowing comfortable wear without interfering with eating or talking
• Decorative tops: Everything from minimalist studs to gemstones, hoops, and elaborate designs—your medusa is the perfect canvas for statement jewellery

All our medusa jewellery is crafted from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136). Titanium is essential for medusa piercings because it's biocompatible (safe for oral-area piercings), won't cause discoloration or irritation, and remains comfortable during all-day wear. Your medusa jewellery sits near your mouth and teeth, so material quality truly matters.

Medusa Piercing Placement & Healing

Your medusa piercing is placed at the philtrum—that small vertical groove above your upper lip, centred between your two nostrils. This precise placement is crucial for aesthetic balance, which is why getting pierced by an experienced professional matters. The proper placement makes all the difference to how stunning your medusa looks.

Your medusa typically takes 8-12 weeks to fully heal. During healing, avoid touching your piercing, be gentle when eating (especially hard or hot foods), and keep your medusa scrupulously clean. Once healed, you can change your medusa jewellery freely and experiment with different labret designs.

Styling Your Medusa Piercing

Your medusa works beautifully as a standalone statement or paired with other facial piercings. Many customers combine their medusa with nose studs (for a nostril piercing), septum clickers, and even monroe piercings (the mirror image of a medusa) to create a cohesive facial aesthetic. The key is choosing jewellery that complements your face shape and personal style.

When styling your medusa, remember that it's front-and-centre on your face. Many people choose labrets that match their lip colour, skin tone, or hair colour for a cohesive look. Others go bold with statement pieces that command attention. Your medusa is your canvas.
