However, as with all piercings, signs of infection include swelling, heat, redness and foul-smelling yellow discharge, at which point it's important that you contact your GP. The cost of your belly button piercing will vary depending on the studio you go to, your geographic location, your piercer’s experience, and how complicated your piercing is. 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. Belly button piercings are possible on most body types, but you'll have to double-check with your piercer that your navel area can accommodate the placement you have in mind.

If you wear Gold Jewellery to the beach or keep it in when cleaning your Piercing with a saline solution, remember to clean your Jewel afterwards. For the largest piercing categories we have created sub-categories to make it easier to find specific piercing types. By canting the jewelry inward towards the body on the bottom and using a flat disk on that bottom end rather than a gem or ball, the bottom portion of the jewelry can lay flat against the tissue, giving the appearance that the top gem is just 'floating' against the navel. Even if a traditional belly button piercing isn't possible for you, there may be alternatives for you to try.Place the end of the jewelry without the ball into the hollow needle (it should be virtually flush or slightly smaller than the needle) and push the needle out with the jewelry. This jewelry has a small bead on each end, with one of them being adjustable/removable to allow you to change out the jewelry if you want. I'm going to be honest with you because everyone told me it didn't hurt before I had mine done but it most certainly did.

Next, clean the area in and around your belly button with alcohol wipes or a cotton swab dipped in a skin-safe disinfectant.We ask the client to take a long good look as there is always time to move the mark if the client has a preference.

You may want to disinfect your Piercing with alcohol, but bear in mind that this can damage the finish.Remove them from the liquid (wearing clean latex gloves, if possible) and leave them on a clean piece of paper towel to dry completely. The required anatomy is completely based on the navel shape itself and has nothing to do with weight directly.
