The medusa piercing is a body modification that is becoming more and more popular among girls and it's no wonder, with great charm and delicacy this accessory calls A Q U E L A Pay attention to the mouth area! (and who doesn't like having their mouth drawing attention back and forth, right?)
Stay with us and you will understand why it is so popular and attracts so much attention. Oh! You will also learn all the necessary precautions to put on this piercing and in the end you will die of desire to have one of these with so many beautiful images that we are going to show you!
How is the medusa piercing placed? It hurts?
Okay, it was mean to start this topic with that image up there, but anyone who has had a medusa or other facial piercing knows that the process is just like that.. But calm down, we already encourage you!
NOTE : If you've already read our post about cheek piercing, you'll probably already know everything we're going to talk about below: the pain, process and care for these oral piercings are practically the same.
So if you want to jump to the topic where we show examples and models of medusa piercing, feel free! Otherwise, you can continue with us!
What you will feel when you put this piercing on will depend on your sensitivity to pain, after all, pain is relative and varies from person to person.
The mouth tends to be a place of little pain and, as the puncture is very quick, you hardly suffer from it. Seriously, when you least expect it and there's barely time to sweat your hands, you already have the piercing there! (Haven't I encouraged you enough yet? Wait until you see the pictures below of the girls with this gorgeous piercing!)
If you've never pierced anything in your life and you're still unsure, one thing you can do is pinch the area where you're going to pierce to see more or less what you'll feel and how thick and rigid it is.
The sensation will not be the most faithful, but I particularly like this test because when it comes to piercing it, it seems to hurt a lot less than I imagined!
It's also cool that you know the process of how the medusa piercing is done so you don't get scared at the time. First of all, sanitize your mouth! Brush your teeth and ask for mouthwash for the body piercer who, in turn, must wear gloves and have his equipment all sterilized.
Folks, the professional's choice is s u p e r i m p o r t a n t e !
In order not to run the risk of inflammation, hygiene has to come from him too and not just from you.
Well, it usually goes like this: the professional marks with a pen exactly where he is going to drill – I advise you to look in the mirror if the mark is the way you want it and in the right place, as it could end up being crooked and you will only notice after the hole has been drilled -, holds the site with large tweezers and pierces it with a needle, which has a catheter with the jewel at the end (the catheter will prevent the jewel from hurting your skin).
After he removes the catheter, the jewel is already there, in its rightful place, beautiful and radiant! You can check out one of the processes on video by body piercer Darren Harris:
Now comes the most important part: the care!
Necessary Care
Every piercing or body modification needs special care, since, in the absence of these, the risk of inflammation is very high. And if it ignites, you already know, right? Goodbye, piercing!
Basic care is: do not eat anything too greasy and clean the area three times a day (each professional recommends a cleaning method, consult yours and do it right as he says), in addition to avoiding alcoholic beverages, excessive sun and swimming pool, sea or long baths. Under no circumstances put dirty hands on your piercing!
You can also rinse your mouth with water and salt to help healing and suck on ice in the first few days to reduce swelling.
The medusa piercing takes around 8 to 12 weeks for complete healing and may cause swelling during first week after the hole.
Each professional recommends a type of care, consult yours and take good care of your piercing, ok?
How much?
The price varies greatly from professional to professional, in addition to the jewelry you choose (prefer a longer jewelry in the beginning due to swelling, after it heals you can change to any jewelry you want!). They usually charge around 20 to 30 reais.
