A navel piercing, also known as a belly button piercing, is one of the most popular body piercings. It involves inserting jewellery through the skin around the belly button, most often on the upper rim above the navel, to create a stylish and eye-catching look.
What to Expect
- Process – The piercing is quick, usually taking only a few minutes. The piercer will mark the placement before inserting the needle.
- Jewellery – A curved barbell is most commonly used, allowing the decorative end to rest just above the belly button.
- Anatomy – Placement depends on your unique navel shape and skin. Not all navels are suitable for piercing, so a professional assessment is essential.

Aftercare and Healing
Navel piercings are surface piercings and require a longer healing period than many other piercings.
- Healing Time – Typically up to 12 weeks, sometimes longer.
- Aftercare – Clean daily with saline solution and avoid touching or twisting jewellery.
- Risks – Infection or rejection can occur if aftercare is not followed. Outie navels or certain anatomy types may carry higher risks.
Why Choose a Navel Piercing?
Navel piercings are a timeless and versatile body piercing, easy to style with a wide range of jewellery once healed. Whether subtle or bold, they add personality and style to the midsection and remain a popular choice worldwide.
