 What is a Navel Piercing?

A navel piercing, also known as a belly button piercing, is a type of body piercing located around the navel area. It's a popular choice for those looking to add an eye-catching and stylish accessory to their body.

The Process

The navel piercing process involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: Discuss your desired jewelry and any health concerns with a professional piercer.
2. Preparation: The piercer will clean and sterilize the area.
3. Piercing: Using a hollow needle, the piercer will puncture the navel and insert the chosen jewelry.
4. Aftercare: Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and promote healing.

Aftercare Tips

• Clean the piercing with saline solution twice a day.
• Avoid touching or twisting the jewelry.
• Avoid tight clothing that may irritate the piercing.
• Stay away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and other bodies of water until fully healed.

Healing Time

Navel piercings typically take between 6 to 12 months to heal completely. Healing time can vary based on individual health and aftercare practices.

Potential Risks

• Infection: Can occur if proper aftercare is not followed.
• Rejection: The body may push out the jewelry over time.
• Keloids: Scar tissue that can form around the piercing.

Choosing Jewelry

When selecting jewelry for your navel piercing, consider materials like titanium or surgical steel to minimize the risk of allergic reactions.
