A Monroe piercing is inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s iconic beauty mark. But like any piercing, it needs the right care to heal properly and avoid complications. Healing usually takes 8–12 weeks and during that time, it’s important to clean it twice a day with saline solution, avoid touching it with unwashed hands, and keep makeup or skincare products away from the area. Since it’s near the mouth, bacteria can be an issue, so rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash after eating helps. Long-term, be mindful of the jewelry rubbing against your gums or teeth, as it can lead to recession or enamel wear. If you notice persistent redness, swelling, or anything unusual, don’t wait—see a professional to make sure everything stays safe and healthy! #monroepiercing #monroe #drkieutips #lippiercing #greenscreen
