Jestrum piercing
A jestrum is a vertical medusa: the channel goes through the upper lip, one ball in the philtrum and one on the lip.

Why a curved bar
The upper lip is curved; a straight bar would stick out.
Healing
3–4 months, longer than a medusa.
Jestrum or medusa
A medusa shows one point; a jestrum shows two.
