In contrast to a labret piercing, the Medusa piercing (also known as a philtrum piercing) is placed centrally above the upper lip (between the mouth and nose) and is equally popular with women and men.
The word philtrum originally comes from the Greek and means something like love spell. In anatomy, it is referred to as a vertical groove and forms the connection between the upper lip and nose.
In combination with a bright lipstick, the Mesdusa piercing is particularly effective and looks extremely seductive on many people.
