Jestrum Piercing Jewellery | Titanium Curved Barbells UK
Discover Camden Body Jewellery's specialist jestrum piercing jewellery collection, featuring premium implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) curved barbells designed for vertical philtrum piercings. The jestrum piercing, also called a vertical medusa, vertically pierces through the philtrum—the vertical groove between nose and upper lip. This distinctive modification creates a striking centred appearance, visible from the front with one jewelled endpoint at the lip's surface and one at the philtrum's inner area. Jestrum piercings have gained popularity among UK piercing enthusiasts seeking bold, centred facial modifications with strong visual impact.
Our curated 16g (1.2mm) curved barbell selection includes diverse designs in appropriate lengths accommodating standard philtrum piercing anatomy. Titanium construction ensures biocompatibility with sensitive facial tissue while curved barbell design minimises tissue stress during healing and everyday movement. Our collection features various finishes including anodised colours, metallic options, and gemstone accents—all maintaining medical-grade specifications. Jestrum piercings offer unique centred aesthetic appeal distinct from side-placed beauty mark piercings, creating dimensional facial jewellery presentations.

What does a jestrum piercing look like and is it visible?
A jestrum piercing is highly visible, with jewellery endpoints showing at the philtrum's centre and above the upper lip. The vertical orientation creates dimensional appearance distinct from horizontal lip piercings. This is an excellent choice if you want centred facial jewellery that's clearly noticed from the front.
How long does a jestrum piercing take to heal?
Jestrum piercings typically heal in 6-8 weeks with consistent aftercare. Maintain daily saline rinses, avoid unnecessary movement, and minimise touching with unwashed hands. The philtrum's good blood flow supports efficient healing when proper care protocols are followed.
What size curved barbell do I need for a jestrum?
Jestrum piercings typically use 16g (1.2mm) curved barbells in appropriate lengths determined by your piercer based on philtrum anatomy. Measure your existing piercing from ball to ball to ensure accurate sizing when purchasing replacement jewellery.
Why choose titanium for jestrum piercings?
Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and biocompatible—ideal for sensitive facial tissue like the philtrum. Titanium's lightweight properties reduce strain on healing tissue, and its durability ensures longevity. It's the professional standard for facial piercings in UK studios.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a jestrum piercing?
A jestrum piercing, also called a vertical medusa, is a vertical piercing through the centre of the upper lip philtrum. Unlike a standard medusa which exits inside the mouth, a jestrum enters and exits on the front surface of the lip.
What jewellery is used for a jestrum piercing?
Jestrum piercings use a curved barbell, typically in 16G (1.2mm). The curve follows the natural contour of the upper lip. Implant-grade titanium is recommended to minimise irritation during healing.
How long does a jestrum piercing take to heal?
Jestrum piercings typically take 6 to 12 weeks to heal. Oral piercings benefit from good oral hygiene and avoiding spicy or acidic foods during the initial healing period.
