Jewelry Belly

Navel piercing (also referred to as belly button piercing ) is a type of body piercing. It does not heal quickly. it takes from 2 to 4 years for it to completely heal because it not exposed as much as the ear. an ear piercing, or may heal more like a surface piercing with the associated rejection extended healing time. Healing of this piercing can also be complicated by irritation and damage caused by clothing, especially waistlines or tight clothing, or the position of the navel relative to the bend of the waist.

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. A true navel piercing requires the person being pierced to have an "outie" navel to some degree, and is extremely rare. 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.

The piercing procedure is simple and does not take long. The piercer will first sterilize the area being pierced around the rim of the belly button and around the top. Next, they will mark with a felt-tipped marker to line up the needle. After marking, the piercer will use a pair of clamps, which makes it easier to see exectly where to pierce. Then pierce from the bottom up(can be from top down), and push the jewelry through following the needle.

History and culture

This 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 1993. The popularization of the piercing has also been attributed to the 1993 Aerosmith music video "Cryin'", wherein Alicia Silverstone has her navel pierced. 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.

Jewelry

Most kinds of ring or bar jewelry can be worn in a navel piercing, although 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 navel - simple navel barbells, navel barbells with dangling pendants, and navel barbells with attached belly chains are a few of the options.

There has been a special standard established for navel barbells (also called "bananabells" or "bananabars", reference to their curved shape). The standard bananabell is 1.6 mm (1/16") thick and 9.5 mm (3/8") or 11.1 mm (7/16") long, most commonly referred to as a 14-gauge post. The silver caps on either side of the simple barbell post usually measure 5mm in diameter for the upper and 8mm in diameter for the lower.

Although navel bananabells are different from full rings - like captive bead rings (or CBR) that also can be worn in navel - there is tendency by the Internet body jewelry retailers and wholesalers to refer to these barbells as belly button "rings".

A new version of navel jewelry with a clasp that slides through the piercing and snaps closed is on the market .'
