Product Information

Needles is bigger than jewelry to allow easy transition during piercing process, and avoid unneccessary pain. Since belly button piercing is certainly here to stay, we’re happy to provide you with this comprehensive overview all about navel piercing. Take the piercing clamp and use it to clamp the skin of the navel and pull it out from the body slightly.

You’ll need a body piercing clamp, a 14-gauge piercing needle, and a 14-gauge belly button ring made of a safe material like stainless steel or titanium.

Next, clean the area in and around your belly button with alcohol wipes or a cotton swab dipped in a skin-safe disinfectant.You need to be pierced just far enough back from the lip of the belly button, and you should start off with at least a 14g belly button ring . This is your body reacting to the initial piercing procedure and the redness is likely to be coupled with swelling which can last for the first couple of weeks of having your belly button piercing. I wouldn't do it before then, and some people choose to wait till they're 18 since your body is still growing and this can increase your chance of the body rejecting the piercing. If you keep your belly button piercing clean and do what you can to reduce friction by wearing low-waisted pants and skirts and generally loose-fitting clothing, your new belly piercing will heal faster and better. Your piercer may clamp or pinch the skin while performing this piercing to ensure it stays still and is pierced in the correct place.

A standard belly button piercing is placed about 1/2″-1″ above the belly button, traveling down and out through the upper lip of the navel cavity. Then take a cotton ball soaked in a saline solution or a cleaning solution and very gently clean around the piercing. Make sure the soap is antimicrobial and it has no scent, the fragrance will make the chances of infection higher.

Their adjustable-length, extra-long shafts can be cut to the perfect size for you, and each one features a beautiful jeweled charm.If your belly button happens to be an “outie” then it might change the placement of your piercing (but not that much). However if the discharge isn’t clear/white or your skin develops red streak marks, there may be cause for concern. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Some people are more sensitive to certain body jewelry materials than others, and a lot of cheap body jewelry contains a high percentage of nickel, which is a common metal allergen. Never take the belly button ring out when dealing with an infection - this only runs the risk of the infection becoming trapped inside the piercing.

Scarring: Some people develop hypertrophic scars around their belly button piercings, which present as a small, circular scar immediately around the fistula that has a relatively flat top with a slightly textured surface. I think it's shot that everyone is saying don't waste the doctors time because a child has had a needles shoved through her flesh and it now looks sore. Allow warm water to run over your piercing when you shower (but don’t scrub your navel piercing with soap; letting sudsy water run over the piercing is fine).

A shirt that is too tight will rub against the new piercing and may be harder to roll up for the piercing procedure. Keloids: Keloids can look like scars, but they are actually the result of a genetic issue that affects a very small percentage of the population.
