Medusa Piercing Liverpool
At our Liverpool studio, Medusa piercing isn’t just a procedure — it’s a statement. We’ve helped countless clients across Merseyside achieve the perfect central upper-lip piercing, combining precise placement with high-quality jewellery and expert aftercare. Whether you’re a first-timer from the city centre or a piercing enthusiast travelling in from areas like Woolton, Aigburth, or the Albert Dock, you’ll receive the same professional care, friendly guidance, and commitment to safety that has made us one of Liverpool’s most trusted piercing studios.
A Medusa piercing sits neatly in the philtrum, the groove above the upper lip, offering a bold yet elegant look that draws attention without overpowering your style. As one of the leading piercing shops Liverpool residents recommend, we take the time to assess your facial anatomy, discuss jewellery options, and ensure the piercing complements your unique appearance. From the moment you step into our fully licensed, health-inspected studio, you can relax knowing your piercing will be performed with sterile, single-use needles, implant-grade jewellery, and techniques designed for maximum comfort.
Medusa piercing at Liverpool Tattoos is priced at £35, including sterile equipment, premium jewellery, and full aftercare guidance.

Meet Aaron, Professional Body Piercer
Hi, I’m Aaron from Liverpool. I’m a tattoo artist and piercer with several years of experience in the industry, and I’m still as passionate about learning and developing my craft as I was on day one. Tattooing and piercing allow me to combine creativity with precision, and I love working with clients to create pieces that hold personal meaning and leave a lasting impression.
Outside of the studio, I spend much of my time exploring other creative outlets. I enjoy photography, drawing, and painting, which often inspire my tattoo designs. In the evenings, you’ll usually find me playing PlayStation or switching between guitar and piano, as music has always been another form of self-expression for me. When I want to recharge, I hit the road on my motorbike, riding across the country and finding inspiration in new places and experiences.
Medusa Piercing – Age Policy (Liverpool, England)
In England, there is no specific national law setting a minimum age for Medusa piercings. However, at our Liverpool studio, we follow strict safety and consent guidelines to protect our clients and maintain professional standards.
We offer Medusa piercings from age 16 with valid photo ID (passport, driving licence, or citizen card) to verify age. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to give written consent and remain in the studio during the appointment. For younger clients, we may decline the piercing if we feel the anatomy isn’t developed enough for safe placement.
All Medusa piercings are performed by experienced professionals using sterile, single-use needles and hypoallergenic, implant-grade jewellery to ensure both safety and comfort. We also provide detailed aftercare guidance and follow-up support to help your piercing heal beautifully.
How Painful is a Medusa Piercing?
Pain levels for a Medusa piercing can vary from person to person, but most clients describe it as a quick, sharp pinch followed by a brief throbbing sensation. Because the Medusa piercing goes through the philtrum above the upper lip, it may feel slightly more sensitive than an earlobe piercing — but the discomfort is over in seconds.
Some tenderness, minor swelling, or slight redness afterward is completely normal and usually subsides within a few days. Healing typically takes 6–8 weeks, so some sensitivity may linger if you bump or press on the area during this time. To help minimize discomfort, our professional piercers use sterile, sharp, single-use needles and implant-grade jewellery that’s comfortable from day one.
By following our aftercare instructions and avoiding unnecessary pressure on the piercing, you can ensure your Medusa piercing heals cleanly, looks great, and causes minimal discomfort.
Pain Reduction for Piercings
Everyone experiences pain differently, and while most Medusa piercings involve only a quick, sharp sensation, we understand that some clients want ways to make the process more comfortable. At our Liverpool studio, we do not provide or recommend numbing creams as part of our service, since they can sometimes affect skin texture, blood flow, and healing. They aren’t usually necessary for a safe, smooth piercing.
If you choose to use a numbing cream, it’s at your own risk. Popular options people use include Emla, TKTX Numbing Cream, and No Tears Numbing Cream. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, perform a patch test first, and inform your piercer before your appointment.
Other effective ways to minimize discomfort include:
Eating a nutritious meal beforehand to keep your blood sugar stable.
Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol or caffeine prior to your appointment.
Taking slow, deep breaths during the piercing to help you relax.
Remembering that the procedure is very quick — often just a few seconds.
Our experienced piercers work efficiently and gently, using sterile, high-quality equipment to ensure your Medusa piercing experience is as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible.
Medusa piercing Healing / Aftercare
The Medusa piercing has become a popular choice among Liverpool residents, and it’s easy to see why. This stylish piercing sits perfectly in the philtrum above the upper lip, creating a bold yet elegant statement that complements both casual and sophisticated looks. Whether you’re heading to work in Liverpool’s business district or enjoying a night out in the Cavern Quarter, a well-placed Medusa piercing adds a unique touch of personal expression.
At Liverpool Tattoos, we’ve specialized in Medusa piercing services for years, working with clients from areas across Merseyside, from Aigburth to Woolton, each with their own style preferences and concerns. The most common questions we hear are about pain levels and healing times, which is why we use medical-grade equipment and provide proven aftercare protocols to ensure a safe, comfortable, and smooth piercing experience.
Professional Medusa Piercing Process
Every Medusa piercing appointment at our Liverpool studio begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, we assess your facial anatomy and discuss your style goals to ensure the piercing is placed perfectly in the philtrum above the upper lip. Proper placement is essential for both aesthetic appeal and smooth healing. We’ll review jewellery options and mark the exact location for your approval.
We also go over your medical history and any concerns you may have. Our Liverpool studio keeps detailed records for every client, ensuring a personalized experience that takes your specific needs and healing characteristics into account.
Sterile Piercing Procedure
Our Medusa piercing procedure follows the strictest hygiene standards required by Liverpool City Council. We use single-use, sterile needles opened in your presence, avoiding piercing guns that can cause unnecessary trauma. Each piercing is performed with medical-grade jewellery in our fully licensed and health-inspected studio.
The procedure takes just seconds, and many clients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the discomfort is. We guide you through breathing techniques and positioning to maximize comfort during the process.
Premium Jewellery Selection
All initial Medusa piercings at our Liverpool studio are fitted with implant-grade titanium or surgical steel jewellery. These hypoallergenic materials minimize reaction risks and promote healthy healing, far exceeding the quality of cheaper alternatives found elsewhere.

Our reputation is built on consistent quality, expert care, and genuine client support.

A Medusa piercing is a facial piercing located in the philtrum, the groove above the upper lip and under the nose. It’s typically styled with a small labret stud or decorative jewellery and creates a bold, central focal point on the face.

Pain levels vary from person to person, but most clients describe it as a quick, sharp pinch followed by brief throbbing. Discomfort is short-lived and manageable.
Healing typically takes 6–8 weeks. Some sensitivity may linger, especially if you bump the area, but following proper aftercare will ensure smooth healing.
