The ins and outs of navel piercings
November 26, 2004

If you walk through any high school or college campus these days,
chances are you see lots of belly-baring tops showing off navel
piercings. Young women love navel piercings for the fun jewelry, the
flirtatious fun of showing off the belly button, and the flexibility
the piercing gives.
Unlike facial piercings, navel piercings can be covered easily by
clothing. Someone considering piercing their belly button need not
worry about it being inappropriate for work. You can cover it during
the day for a conservative look and then show off the area at night
for a more wild appearance.
State law for the age of getting pierced ranges from sixteen to
eighteen and may require parental consent for those under the age of
eighteen. Minors who want navel piercings should take into account
that they may not be done growing. Getting pierced as a teenager and
growing afterwards may affect the placement of jewelry, leading to a
less attractive look.
Navel piercings are tailored to the shape of your belly button.
It all depends on the depth, size, and angle of the navel area. The
piercing process is different for a skinny “donut” shaped navel than
it is for a curved one.
The standard piercing for the belly button starts above the belly
button and goes through the top. Other looks include the horizontal
piercing, where you would put a curved barbell in two holes above
the belly button. The area can also be pierced several times so you
could conceivably have navel piercings above and below the belly
button.
After the type of piercing is chosen and the navel area is healed
(which takes about nine months), the only thing left to do is find
fun jewelry to show it off!
