Determining if bellybutton piercings are right for you
January 19, 2005
By: Bob Whitehead
Some of the most common body piercings aside from those done to
the ear are bellybutton piercings. They are easy to perform and
because these piercings are so popular, it should not be difficult
to find an experienced professional to pierce your bellybutton.
Even though a bellybutton piercing is a routine procedure and
easy to do, you should still visit a licensed piercing artist who
works in a clean, sanitary studio. No one wants an infection from
their navel piercing or lasting damage from an inexperienced piercer
improperly placing jewelry.
Experienced piercing artists see all kinds of bellybuttons in
their line of work. Not every bellybutton is the same, and some
can’t accommodate a piercing as well as others. If you don’t have
enough space behind the ridge at the top or bottom of your navel for
jewelry to sit on, healing could be difficult. Or, if your
bellybutton shuts when you sit down, that will also cause problems
during the healing process, and it could lead to scarring.
A pre-piercing consultation with your piercing artist will help
you determine if your navel can accommodate jewelry. Even if your
bellybutton can be pierced without a problem, it’s a great idea to
meet with the artist beforehand. If he or she doesn’t think this
piercing is right for you, there’s always the option of getting a
second opinion. However, if someone is turning down your business,
there’s obviously a very good reason for doing so.
One way to determine if a navel piercing is right for you is to
look at piercing photo galleries on the web.
Tribalectic is one good
resource for these pictures. You can look for a navel similar to
yours and see how the piercing looks.
