Piercing "Medusa" - it's stylish!

Modern youth tries to look as stylish as possible. Designers and stylists help her in this, however, even this is sometimes not enough. More often on the street you notice young people with tattoos and various unusual piercings. Naturally, this is simultaneously part of the fashion image, and a way to stand out from the crowd. And, I must say, the latter is perfectly possible for our young people to fulfill, because they do this not only with their individuality, but more often with extravagance of clothes, shoes, and even piercings. In today's article, we will talk about what is the piercing of the lips of Medusa: how it is made, and why it was so called.

Fashion for piercing appeared in our country relatively recently, so they can be called fashionable novelties. With their help, young people began to attract the attention of adults. First, this fashion took root in Europe, then all over the world. For today it is already impossible to name the country where there would not be a single piercing and tattoo parlor. Piercings and tattoos have become really popular among young people, as they not only attract attention, but also bring huge money. By the way, in Europe, a lot of people who make themselves piercings, reach the age of 30 years, but this does not prevent them from remaining still young in the shower. In addition, almost all rockers have several tattoos and punctures, which makes them and their fans imitate their idols.

Piercing "Medusa" first appeared in 1990 in Canada. The founder is the hairdresser and fashion designer Kerrick, who lived and worked in Toronto. It was he who invented this unusual kind of piercing, which subsequently became so popular not only among young people, but also among adults and people who have already taken place. Piercing "Medusa" got its name because of the location - it is done under the lower lip in the hollow. If you want, you can ask yourself to make a few punctures, a bridge, or connect several by one chain, but initially the Medusa looked exactly like that.

As Kerrek himself said, "Medusa" - piercing, photos of which can be seen in our article - this is a very complex technology. Just one wrong move - and the lower lip of a person can just stop working, because it is in the area where the puncture is carried out, there is a huge number of nerve endings. That's why the piercing "Medusa" is not available in all salons, and only true professionals take it for it.

One of the types of puncture is "Estrum". It is executed in much the same way as the main one, but with one obvious difference. If only one balloon is visible from the outside of the Medusa, then in the "Estrum" both balls are attached to the outside, fastened together by a single chain. This type of piercing can be seen in many rock celebrities, especially metalworkers.

Piercing "Medusa" heals in about 4 weeks. During this period it is not recommended to eat a large number of sweets and fatty foods. It is best to refrain from physical exertion, as sweat can get into the wound, causing inflammation. It is necessary to treat the piercing several times a day with a special liquid, which the master will give you in the salon.
