Belly button piercings have been popular since the early 2000s and the belly piercing is still one of the most popular piercings in 2022! We’ve compiled all of the most information about navel piercings so you can be well-informed before you get pierced! The most common of belly piercings is where the jewellery sits through the fleshy skin right at the top centre of the belly button, allowing the jewellery to hang over the hollow part of the navel.
First, you will be asked to pick out jewellery for the piercing. We have a range of gem and metal colours to choose from, clear crystal double gem and single gem belly banana bars are the most popular. When you’re in the private piercing room, the navel will be cleaned with alcohol. Then, your piercer will mark the piercing entry and exit site and you will be asked to stand up in a relaxed position and look in the mirror as this will most accurately show you how the jewellery will sit on your relaxed belly. Once you and your piercer agree on the position, your skin will be held taught with a sterile clamp. After that, a single-use needle will be used to pierce the belly followed by the 14 gauge jewellery. Expect a tiny bit of bleeding, swelling, or redness immediately after the piercing—that’s completely normal and should subside quickly.
Your belly piercing procedure will cause some slight pain like any other piercing, but because the skin on your stomach is fleshy and soft, it will be less painful than other piercings with thicker cartilage. If you follow the correct recommended aftercare and avoid touching, knocking or irritating your piercing the pain will go away quickly.
Piercing Migration And Rejection: Causes, Symptoms, And More
Following the recommended aftercare is extremely important to ensure your piercing heals as it should, failing to do so can result in problems with your piercing and can slow down the healing process.
Your healing time may vary depending on a number of factors including how well you follow the piercing aftercare instructions you’re given and your general health. Generally, belly button piercings will take 6-12 months or sometimes longer to have fully healed. The first time you take your jewellery out, we recommend getting a piercer to help you as they can assess whether it has healed enough for a changeover without irritating the piercing.
Be aware that tissue heals from the outside in, your piercing may feel fine on the outside, but the interior may still be healing. Remember, ‘if in doubt, we’ll check it out!’ pop back into the salon at any time for a piercing healing checkup.

If you’re concerned that there is a problem with your piercing, contact your local salon immediately as they will be able to help with healing and identify the cause of the problem.

Here's What Your Piercing Says About You
Our belly button rings are made from solid 14k gold. Our gold is nickel-free, as nickel is generally the metal that people with metal allergies react to. The reason we choose gold, platinum, or titanium as our metals of preference for your belly piercing is that these materials are more pure and tend to have fewer additives that your body can react to.
Cost considerations: if you want a healthy belly piercing and love the look of quality body jewelry, then you may want to invest in a gold belly button ring.
Important: Be aware that even though you’re going to want to adorn your belly button with gorgeous, sparkly, dangle jewelry all the time, it’s best to wear basic jewelry for the majority of the time. This means that you should stick to simple, non-dangle curved barbells or CBRs (hoops) made of high quality titanium or gold with minimal adornment. Save your elaborate chandeliers and dangle belly button rings for day wear or special occasions. Whatever you do, don’t sleep in elaborate navel rings. This preserves your piercing, keeping it from getting irritated, and also keeps your jewelry in good shape.
