Cupid's bow. Not sure of it's "official" name.

this was on an ad - its either filtrum or philtrum

[~max~]

It's called the philtrum.

The things you learn when you're looking to get a piercing hey! lol

[whiskeysheri]

Ah, there you go. Now I know, too. :)

[~max~]

Well, there you go Whiskey, I didn't know about Cupid's bow either! It's a lot prettier! :O)

Philtrum is a nice word too - it is from the Greek 'philtron': to love or kiss.

:)

I don't know Ethel, it sounds terribly like Frenulum to me....
But maybe I'm obsessed! lol

[Ethel]

That word is from the Latin, and means 'little bridle'.

I prefer banjo string.

Maxie, I knew it wasn't frenulum, but that was the first thing that popped into my head as well, your mucky mind is rubbing off on me! :)

the cupid's bow is one definition for the two pointy bits running along the top line of someone's mouth, and underneath the nostrils - it isn't the indentation towards the nose (philtrum)
