Body Piercing Location Information: Navel Belly Button Piercing
Navel (Belly Button)
Navel piercing has now become one of the most popular piercings seen on the streets of the UK. It is still more popular with women, but there are quite a few men who have it pierced too. In the early 90's Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington were seen sporting navel piercings and it's popularity has grown ever since.
The average healing time is between four and six months but navels can take anywhere up to eighteen months to heal in some people - so be prepared to keep up the cleaning for that long. We initially pierce with either a bananabell or a ball closure ring. The most popular jewellery option is to initially fit a navel piercing with a bananabell as they come in so many colour, material and jewel variations and tend to catch less than rings during the healing process. We always leave a small amount of room to allow for swelling and for it to be easily cleaned. Once the first eight weeks and the risk of swelling has passed the initial bananabell can be changed by us (please do not attempt this change yourself!) for a smaller one that fits more snugly or a different colour/style which we then recommend you leave in until the end of the healing time.
It is important to keep waistbands away whilst this piercing is healing as they can cause irritation and migration of the piercing (if the piercing is held crooked while healing it can end up crooked) We have a huge selection of navel jewellery that the piercings can be changed to once healed please feel free to pop in to take a look or browse through our website!
Please note: Although we will pierce navels down to our age limit of 12 years with parental consent, piercings performed on under 16 year olds increase the risk of "growing out" or rejection.
Healing time is on average 4 - 6 months.
