The story of
navel piercing

Many people consider navel piercing as a kind of body modification and real art, something totally new.

Others, on the contrary, claim that navel piercing has been existing for thousands of years. So, who’s right about that? Surely, it is difficult to tell the date or age when people began to pierce their navel, but it is known for certain that the ancient Egyptians actively practiced this procedure. However, they did not do it with an aesthetic purpose, for them it was a distinctive sign demonstrating a special position, but not the object of certain decoration. Navel piercing for a beauty purpose became mass after the introduction of the female bikini. Moral mores began to allow women to become more naked. A lot of popular actresses, singers and models have taken advantage of this. Naturally, their fans picked up the "novelty" and navel piercing became a fashionable and popular trend. Today, navel piercing is no longer something shocking or unique. It will give way only to a pierced ear in popularity. So, it is possible to say that navel piercing can emphasize your beauty and individuality. It is a relatively young phenomenon or trend. Although the procedure itself is tens of thousands of years old.

The procedure of navel piercing is quite simple, but very responsible, because it requires sufficient knowledge, skill, a sterile room, a special tool and the approval of a doctor.

The procedure is very important.

After all, instead of a beautiful and sexy navel, you can get serious health problems. We definitely do not recommend you to make a puncture by yourself or trust your body and health someone unknown or just friends. Navel piercing is a budget service, so it is stupid to put yourself at risk. Trust your body only to a professional master who knows what he or she is doing, has experience and customer reviews. Even in this case, it is important to remember that any piercer must have certain medical knowledge, but he or she is not a doctor and even more, does not have information regarding your health. So the first thing you have to do - consult your doctor and only get the approval. We recommend you to choose carefully where and who will be punctured. Forget about a navel piercing if you have the following diseases:

  • Hepatitis.

Possible effects
after a puncture

Sometimes women face the unpleasant consequences of navel piercing.

It can be even if you care for the navel during healing very well and the puncture is performed by the best master in the city. Unfortunately, anyone can face this.

The most common is an unpleasant or painful feelings in the navel area, both when the jewerly is inserted in the body and without it. This is because even a healed wound at first is quite sensitive. Over time, the puncture channel will become dull and the unpleasant feelings will disappear, unless they are associated with contamination and inflammation.

Severe inflammation. Here you should immediately suspect a problem - health problems, lack of hygiene, improper jewerly or procedure conducted with gross mistakes.

It’s much less likely to be rejected. This happens most often from the wrong choice of jewerly. Another reason can be a puncture that is not deep enough, poor quality of the product or its material or unsuitable shape and size.

We want to point out that this happens very rarely, but no one is immune from it. If you have problems, be sure to consult a specialist.
