Jestrum piercing in Cork
The jestrum, also known as a vertical medusa, is a single vertical piercing in the centre of the upper lip. The jewellery shows both above the lip and on the lip itself, which gives it a clean, striking look that suits minimal and bold styles alike.
How we do it
Every mouth is different, so your piercer starts by checking the shape of your lips, your bite and where your teeth and gums sit. The placement is marked and agreed with you before anything is pierced. We use single-use sterile needles and fit a basic implant-grade titanium piece, included in the price.
Healing and aftercare
Lip piercings usually take around 2 to 3 months to heal, although everyone heals differently. Expect some swelling in the first days, which is why the first bars are slightly longer. Once the swelling has gone down, your piercer may recommend a shorter bar so the jewellery sits comfortably against your teeth and gums. Follow our piercing aftercare guide, rinse after eating, and avoid touching or turning the jewellery while it heals.
Jewellery
Your piercing comes with a basic implant-grade titanium piece. On the day you can upgrade to solid gold or a premium titanium top, and once you have healed you can choose a new piece from our lip jewellery. Our piercers fit it for you in studio.
