Medusa

I took a new piercing, medusa aka philtrum. I had been dreaming about vertical labret but since my normal labret is still kicking it couldn't be done. I still wanted... something. I usually don't do scars to my skin without really concidering but this time I had some adrenaline flowing - and I wanted to do something spontaneous. I asked the piercing studio worker to recommend something. She thought jestrum wouldn't suit me for my thin upper lip, but a medusa would be lovely. I have love/hate-relationship towards the medusa and my boyfriend didn't like them that much, but for some reason I decided to do it.

To be honest, at first... I hated it. I had a couple rougher days and I hadn't slept much, and for some reason I though I looked like someone drew a line from my nose to my lips. The ball felt too big and everything was wrong. But this is actually a good example of how it affects me if I am tired. After an exhausting week I finally had a chance to sleep one good night and when I woke up... I suddenly loved it! It might be also because the swelling had reduced a lot that it looked much better. Now I feel like it belongs there and would definately not want to take it off! I kinda like how it's a bit more visible than normal labret and it gives this idea like I had a little drop of rain on my lips, haha!

Anyways, I like it. :) Here are some pics!
