Your initial navel piercing jewelry will be a basic, non-dangle belly ring. Almost universally, you will be pierced with a 14G needle.
You can opt for a 12G or 16G, but your piercer might recommend against it; the 14G is industry standard for safety concerns. Be sure to have a piercer make the jewelry change during healing. You might choose to continue the non-dangle style. A standard belly ring offers a glint of sparkle in your belly button, drawing attention while remaining understated.
You can get glamorous jewelry with diamonds or other gemstones or cute navel rings with charms and other fun items. For a little more flair, check out dangle belly rings. A dangle belly ring will feature a charm dangling from the bottom of the ring, offering a cute look right below the belly button.
Dangle belly rings look extra adorable with bikinis or other outfits that show off your body. Reverse dangle belly rings feature charms that dangle from the top of the jewelry rather than the bottom. The jewelry will cascade in front of the belly button. The reverse dangle belly ring style is perfect for those who love extravagant jewelry options and want their belly jewelry to take center stage. Some people might not be able to get a belly piercing, based on their anatomy. A belly piercing takes some time to heal.
In the springtime, you might be tempted to get your navel pierced because summer is coming, and you know it will look super cute with your new swimsuit. That way, you can have plenty of time to heal before you reveal your piercing over the summer. Be wary; a navel piercing can sometimes take up to a year to heal, so be sure to talk to your piercer before hopping into the pool. Besides the fact that a healing piercing needs a strong immune system, your changing belly size will affect your new piercing , which could cause complications.

The original jewelry your piercer will have used will be slightly longer to accommodate for swelling during the healing process. A belly piercing can take up to a year to heal entirely, which is the longest healing time out of any other body piercing. You can prevent it from being longer by cleaning the area twice a day with saline solution, and not picking at or playing with it unnecessarily. You should also be careful not to change your jewelry too early.
Doing so increases your risk for bloodborne disease. Reusable piercing guns can transmit bodily fluids across customers. They can also cause local tissue damage during the piercing process. Skimping on the material can lead to undue irritation or infection. Opt for a belly button ring made of or karat gold, titanium, surgical steel, or niobium. Avoid nickel alloys and brass. They can increase your risk for an allergic reaction.
The piercer will disinfect the area around your navel. If you have body hair around your navel, they may remove this with a new disposable razor. You should have the opportunity to confirm the placement or discuss the possibility of piercing a different area.
After the placement is confirmed, the piercer will use a hollow needle to create a hole in the designated location. Once the hole has been made, they may use forceps to hold the area of skin taut while they insert the jewelry. You may experience a little bit of bleeding. The piercer will clean up your navel and give you instructions for aftercare. You can do this yourself with clean hands, or have it done at the shop where you got pierced. But if signs of infection are present, seek medical treatment.
To keep the piercing tract open, you can replace this jewelry with a piece of safe, inert plastic known as a piercing retainer. You can also leave the piercing empty.
