Facial piercings are a striking way to show your style and personality. They can be subtle, such as a small nose stud, or more bold and expressive, such as a Monroe or Medusa piercing. At Angel and Demon, we work carefully, with attention to your comfort and hygiene.
Below you will find the most popular facial piercings.
The nose piercing is one of the most popular facial piercings. It is placed in the soft part of the nostril, which means the procedure is usually quick and well tolerated.
Healing time: 2–4 months
Jewelry: small studs, hoops, or clickers
The nostril piercing is very versatile: subtle with a small gemstone, or more eye-catching with a hoop. It is also easy to combine with other piercings, such as a septum piercing.
The septum piercing goes through the thin cartilage between the nostrils. The procedure can feel a bit more sensitive than a nostril piercing, but most people find it very manageable.
Healing time: 6–8 weeks
Jewelry: rings or short barbells
This piercing can easily be hidden by flipping it up inside the nose, but it also creates a bold and striking look when worn visibly.
The bridge piercing is placed horizontally across the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. It is a less common piercing that immediately stands out.
Healing time: 8–12 weeks
Jewelry: straight barbells
Because this piercing goes through a thin fold of skin, careful aftercare during healing is important. The result is a modern, edgy look.
The labret piercing is placed below the center of the lower lip. It is a classic piercing that is often combined with other facial piercings.
Healing time: 6–12 weeks
Jewelry: studs, barbells, or rings
During the healing process, extra attention to oral hygiene is required. This piercing is ideal for either a subtle or bold effect, depending on the jewelry you choose.
The Medusa piercing is located in the small indentation in the center of the upper lip, just below the nose in the philtrum. It is a delicate, symmetrical piercing that elegantly enhances the face.
Healing time: 6–12 weeks
Jewelry: small studs or barbells
This piercing works well with other lip or labret piercings and adds a stylish, eye-catching detail.
The Monroe and Madonna piercings are placed above the upper lip, on the left or right side. The Madonna is placed on the right side, while the Marilyn (Monroe) is placed on the left—referring to the famous beauty icons associated with these piercings.
Healing time: 6–12 weeks
Jewelry: small studs or barbells
These piercings create a playful accent and can be nicely combined with other lip or nose piercings.
The vertical labret runs vertically through the lower lip, from the outside to the inside. It is a striking piercing that creates a beautiful effect when smiling.
Healing time: 6–12 weeks
Jewelry: short curved barbells
During healing, extra care with eating and oral hygiene is important. It is a unique variation of the classic labret piercing.
The tongue piercing is placed in the center of the tongue and is popular among people looking for a bold and noticeable piercing.
Healing time: 4–6 weeks
Jewelry: short barbells
Pay close attention to oral hygiene and be careful with hard or sharp foods during the healing process. This piercing is immediately noticeable and creates a playful effect.
