Vertical Labret/ Jestrum Piercing

Vertical Labret (Lower Lip) OR Jestrum Piercing (Upper Lip)

What is a Vertical Labret / Jestrum Piercing?

• Vertical Labret Piercing is a type of lip piercing where a single piece of jewelry (usually a curved barbell) passes vertically through the center of the lower lip. The barbell enters through the top of the lip and exits through the underside (the labret area).

• Jestrum Piercing is very similar but placed on the upper lip instead, going vertically through the center of the upper lip’s vermilion (the colored part of the lip). It’s often described as a vertical medusa piercing.

Both piercings give a bold, symmetrical, and elegant look, showcasing the jewelry prominently on your lips.

Why Get a Vertical Labret / Jestrum Piercing?

5. Conversation Starter: It’s not the most common piercing, so people will definitely notice and compliment your style.
