Reasons to Get Your Belly Button Pierced
- One of the main reasons for getting a piercing is because you like the way they look. If you have wanted a belly button piercing for a long time and you believe beyond all reasonable doubt that you will love it, then enquire about getting your navel pierced. Ensure you have thought about it for a long time. If you have not, wait a few months and see how you feel then. In addition, if you think a belly button piercing will make you feel good about yourself and boost your self-esteem, then go for it.
- Unlike other piercings, such as the eyebrow, the lip and the tongue, a belly button piercing is easily concealed. If you want a piercing, but are not sure which kind, the belly button may be the right choice for you. After all you can cover it from parents and grandparents if they do not approve, or colleagues if you are not allowed them at work. When you eventually take the piercing out and you have a scar, the scar will also be easily concealable, whereas a scar on the face is not.
- Piercings in general are traditionally about expressing individuality and difference in your appearance. Therefore, a belly button piercing may help you stand out from the crowd and give you more confidence in yourself. If this is the case and you are doing it for you, this may be a good reason to get your belly button pierced. Do not, however, get your belly button pierced because you want to impress someone or to appear 'cool'. You must be doing this for you.
- Belly button jewelry can look unique and different and there is a lot of choice in terms of designs. Many piercers start off by piercing with a plain bar, then when the wound has healed, you can choose many different types of jewelry. Look into bars and rings; there are some really colorful ones that you can change depending on your outfit.
- Like with other piercings, belly button ones can carry certain risks that you must be aware of. One of the main concerns with belly button piercings is the risk of infection. If piercing shops do not have high hygiene standards, clients can catch diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Belly button piercings also carry a high risk of scarring, particularly in women who go on to have children. Belly button bars and rings can be uncomfortable if they catch on tops or trousers. This can cause irritation to the skin and cause infection.
