A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NAVEL PIERCING (Belly Piercing)
A belly button piercing (or a navel piercing) is located in, around or through the navel. Most belly button piercings are done just above the belly button.The name of this piercing can be misleading since it’s not actually the belly button itself that gets pierced. Instead, it’s the skin surrounding it.
Although it seems quite easy and straightforward, it can be a complicated piercing if done by an unskilled piercer. Because there are many blood vessels and nerves in that area that should be carefully avoided when piercing, a perforation in the wrong spot can lead to issues.
HOW IT IS DONE:
👉When you go in for your piercing, your piercer will first examine your belly button and the area surrounding it to make sure that it’s safe to go ahead with the piercing. The type of navel you have will influence the piercing and how complex the piercing will be.
Once your piercer assesses the area and gives you the green light, you will be asked to choose the jewelry you want to adorn your piercing. Your piercer will clean and sterilize your belly button and the area surrounding it, marking the spot with a surgical marker.
Next, he will pierce the spot with a hollow needle and quickly insert the jewelry into the hole. Once the jewelry is in and secure that’s it! You’re done and all ready to go!
BEST JEWELRY TO USE
👉When choosing your jewelry, take your piercer’s advice into consideration as they generally have a better idea about what type of jewelry would suit you best especially when your piercing is still healing.
Choosing the right metals for your jewelry is important as not all metals are suitable for everyone. The safest metals are titanium, gold, silver and nickel free metals as they are hypoallergenic and biocompatible, so opt for these to avoid unwanted complications.
Lucky for you, there are several types of jewelry that you could adorn your piercing with so let’s have a look at them!
SO? Let's get your Navel Shine!
