The double medusa piercing involves two holes placed vertically just above the upper lip, in the philtrum region of the nose, instead of a single one as in the medusa piercing. It allows you to combine different jewelry styles. However, you need to ensure that the piercing would look good on your face shape before going for it.
In the medusa piercing, the skin above the center of the upper lip is perforated. To be more specific, the location of this lip piercing is the philtrum region of the nose just below the septum. That is why it is also known as the philtrum piercing. While the piercing looks cute due to its unique placement and lip contouring abilities, bear in mind that it requires a lot of care during healing and you run the risk of eroding your teeth and gums as the jewelry rubs against them frequently. If the piercing goes wrong, it could affect the facial symmetry as well.
In a double septum piercing, the septum is pierced at two points instead of one as in a septum piercing. It allows you to flaunt two separate pieces of similar jewelry, adding to the coolness of your looks. It also allows you to combine two different styles of jewelry as per your choice.
This type of nose piercing involves the piercing of the septum, which is the partition between the two nostrils. The placement of the piercing is at the sweet spot or columella, that is, the part of the septum lying between the cartilage and the front of your nose. The standard gauge size is 14G or 16G. Celebrities like Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Jessica Biel have been spotted sporting this pretty piercing which stands proof of its glam quotient.
A double industrial piercing consists of two industrial piercings, one placed below the other. It looks trendy and stylish and adds a lot of attention to your ear piercings. Accessorize them right to ensure all eyes are on you whenever you are in the company of people or public view. You can also go a step further and flaunt a triple industrial piercing that is a collection of three industrial piercings, one placed below the other.
In this cool piercing, the upper cartilage is pierced at two points horizontally. Then a straight barbell or wire is passed through both the holes to connect them. It is also known as the horizontal industrial piercing. Stars like Kylie Jenner have made this ear piercing a trend that is followed by many. Even if you have small ears, this piercing attracts a lot of attention for its unique placement. The distance between the holes is determined by your piercer, depending on the shape of your ear.
In a vertical industrial piercing, the piercing passes vertically through the upper and lower ear cartilage. However, there can be a variety of placements of the couple of holes that make up this pretty variation of the industrial piercing.
In a double tragus piercing, you would have two perforations in your tragus instead of a single one. It gives you the opportunity to flaunt two different jewelry pieces, but you should have a fairly prominent tragus to allow you to get this piercing done. Sometimes, the vertical tragus and surface tragus piercings are also referred to as the double tragus piercing.
This piercing is done vertically through the skin adjacent to the cartilage of the tragus. Therefore it is also known by the name vertical tragus surface piercing. It looks extremely cute with the ends of barbells sticking out of it. It is nothing but a surface piercing done at the side of the tragus of the ear. Since the jewelry lies just under the skin, it suffers from a high rejection rate since the body perceives it as a foreign object.
The tragus piercing involves a perforation done through the little flap of cartilage that is an extension of the face and covers the opening of the ear canal partially. Though it boasts of a low rejection rate, its location near the bacteria-ridden ear canal makes it prone to irritation and infections. With proper care, however, you can sport different styles of jewelry on it, grabbing eyeballs with its looks. You would be glad to know that celebrities like Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson and Pink have been spotted sporting this cool piercing.
