Medusa piercing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Medusa piercing is an upper lip piercing that is placed in the philtrum, directly under the septum of the nose. One ball of the jewelry sits outside of the mouth in the dip of the top lip, while the other ball is inside the lip. Sometimes a longer, curved jewelry can be worn so that the bottom ball sticks out between the lips.
The inside ball can cause gum/tissue irritation if not the correct size.
