Navel Piercing

Belly-button piercing is all the rage these days. People do it to enhance the belly area. Not all people look great with them and its almost 100% ladies that do it. Let’s learn a bit more about navel piercing. They say it may heal quickly and with no problems, like an ear piercing, or may heal more like a surface piercing with the associated extended healing time. Healing usually takes less than six months, and as long as it is cleaned, it will heal nicely. Unlike most body piercings, this one has few complications. Although the rejection rate is higher than ear piercings which are very low risk when done on the lobe.

The actual navel is not pierced when a navel piercing is performed. The most common form of navel piercing is through the upper rim of the navel. Although there is an urban legend that an infection in a true navel piercing can travel inward to the liver or peritoneum, there are no known cases of this occurring.

Navel piercing is one of the most common and popular body piercings today. Popular culture has played a large role in the promotion of this piercing. The navel piercing first hit the mainstream when model Christy Turlington showed her navel piercing at a fashion show in London in 1993. The easy concealment of a navel piercing with clothing, even during the lengthy healing process, has contributed to the widespread adoption of this piercing, especially by young people between the ages of twelve and fifteen. This kind of piercing is popular with females.

To keep it clean just after your piercing, you should ask a qualified health professional. Here are a few options some people use, but use your own best sources. You can wash your belly button  in the shower. Buy anti bacterial soap and put it in a small cup, run water into the cup and mix it around with a q-tip and take the now wet q-tip and clean the hole around your piercing and the inside of the navel. When you’re done, run water over the piercing and rotate it and repeat this process twice a day. When out of the shower, take a small bit of toilet paper and dry around the piercing. After that, you can also use an anti-bacterial spray that the piercing salon may have given you. Another way to clean navel piercings, which is less irritating to the piercing is to mix a tablespoon of sea-salt in boiling water and then dip a cotton bud into it and then gently clean around the piercing with the bud. Then use another bud that is dry to stop the piercing from staying wet, since this increases the chance of infection. This can be done twice a day for the first month or so and then only once a day until it has healed. Whatever you do during this time just after the piercing to keep it clean and dry is very important. It is much better to be diligent than negligent and end up with an infection.

There are a few common things worn in the navel piercing. Most kinds of ring or bar jewelry can be worn. Navels are most often pierced with a barbell, which is recommended to be worn until the piercing has fully healed. A wide variety of decorative jewelry is available for navels – simple curved barbells, barbells with dangling pendants, and captive bead rings are common examples. Navel barbells also called bananabells or bananabars, are the most popular. Wear your new jewelry with pride.

Men now make purchases for themselves instead of family or significant others making the selections for them. This implies a more educated modern day man when it comes to fashion. Bracelets have become almost as common as watches. Not only because more designs are available, but because the designs currently on the shelves are being sold out. With increased sales come increased interest in the market segment and you have more designs with more and more variety available.
