Monroe piercing jewellery for the beauty-spot piercing above the top lip, off to one side. It is worn almost exclusively with a flat back labret stud, so the top sits like a mole and the disc stays flat against the inside of the lip.
Monroe studs
Keep the top small: a 2mm to 3mm ball, gem or disc is the traditional look. Bar length is usually 6mm to 8mm once healed, with 8mm to 10mm for a fresh piercing. Threadless tops make it easy to change the gem without unscrewing anything near your teeth.
Monroe, Madonna and Medusa
A Monroe sits on the left, a Madonna on the right, and a Medusa in the centre of the philtrum. They all take the same jewellery, so if you have more than one you can match tops across them.
Sizing and materials
A monroe is 1.2mm (16g) as standard, or 1mm (18g) with some piercers, on a 6mm to 8mm post once healed and 8mm to 10mm while it is fresh. The top stays small, 2mm to 3mm, so it reads as a beauty spot rather than a stud. Monroe piercing jewellery is implant grade ASTM F-136 titanium flat back studs, chosen because the disc sits against the gum all day and titanium gives nothing up to saliva. The posts take any 1.2mm threadless top from Build Your Own Barbell, so a gold or opal monroe is a top swap away.
