A Monroe piercing is a type of facial piercing that is placed above the upper lip on the left hand side - usually in the same spot as Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark. This piercing is simple to get, but it can also be uncomfortable. The piercing itself is done by pushing a needle through the skin, then putting a special jewelry piece (like a barbell or ring) through the hole that the needle made. After some time, the piercing will heal and you will have a small but cute piercing above your lip!
