Inside: Classy Madonna piercings and jewelry ideas to take your next piercing to the next level.
Considering a lip piercing? Madonna piercings are some of the coolest! It’s one of two similar styled and named piercings, the Madonna and the Monroe. The Madonna is placed on the pierce’s right hand side on the upper lip, and the Monroe on the left side. These are placed and named so to reference each star’s iconic beauty mark.
There’s something so very Hollywood about piercing your lip to reflect the iconic beauty of a true starlet! How cool.
Naturally, the Madonna might be one of the most fabulous facial piercings you can get! If you’re debating between this and another lip stud, let me answer some questions for you and give you some inspo.
You might realize this really is the piercing for you.
Stunning, fun, and flirty, you’ll love all of these 57 fabulous Madonna piercings and jewelry ideas!
How Much Does A Madonna Piercing Cost
This is a pretty simple procedure, so without jewelry you’re looking at a range from $20 to $60, the variables being the location and piercer experience. You don’t ever want to go with simply the cheapest option without researching the artists themselves to make sure they’re experienced and reputable. It’s true that you get what you pay for, and pay for a cheap piercing…. You might just end up with a cheap piercing!
And as far as jewelry goes, I always recommend nicer jewelry especially for your face! You don’t want to be dealing with an infection on your face… no way! So don’t get caught up with dealing with cheap metal either. If you’re putting some metals in your face, invest in doing it correctly and making sure you only use quality services and equipment… You’ll thank yourself in the future when you have a happy and healed Madonna piercing!

How Much Does It Hurt
Your lips are a pretty tender spot and have a bit more nerves than the rest of your face, but even still this isn’t known to be a painful piercing! The lips being so soft is a good and bad thing. Bad because it’s more tender, but good because it’s an easier process to pierce!
Cartilage usually hurts a bit to pierce because it’s so tough to break through, but a soft spot like your upper lip is easy! It’ll be so quick, you won’t even think about it!
How To Heal A Madonna Piercing
Healing a Madonna piercing is pretty simple, but you have to be mindful of everything that your mouth is experiencing while it’s healing.
Just like any other piercing, you’ll want to take a Q-Tip or a cotton pad and soak it in saline solution. Then douse the outside of the piercing with the cotton pad. You’ll want to do this twice a day.
You can get saline solution at any grocery store, drug store, piercing shop, or you can make some at home! It’s a simple salt water recipe that is a great deep cleaner for your piercings.
Now, for the inside of the piercing, that’s a different story. You’ll want to plan to rinse your mouth out with mouthwash after every meal, at least! The potential of having food stuck in your piercing is very real, so we want to do everything we can to keep that from happening!
Really commit to this process, and it will be fine! Just set your cleaning rules and follow them.
While washing your face at night and in the morning, be careful not to let any face wash or other products into the area. Extra chemicals and substances aren’t good for it, so keep that in mind while doing your skincare routine!
What Does The Scar Look Like
The one thing you should know about this piercing is that you’re pretty much guaranteed a scar on your upper lip. It’s not necessarily a bad or intense scar, but it is a scar nonetheless.
You can help keep it from getting gnarly by being really protective over it in the early days. Keeping it from snagging, pulling, and tearing is key to keeping the scar as minimal as possible! And avoiding infection helps with this too!
When it comes time to remove your piercing and the scar is more than you anticipated, you may be able to really help the process by using scar creams! On areas like your cheeks and lips they can really help more than a cartilage-y area like your nose!
Your scar tissue is really doing its job, so you can’t be too upset by the scar!
