ANATOLIA TATTOO & Piercing - Navel Piercing |
Navel piercingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Two female navels, pierced and fitted with barbell jewelry.Navel piercing aka belly button piercing is a type of body piercing, far more common among women than men, of skin available for piercing, it may heal quickly and with few problems, like an ear piercing, or it may heal more like a surface piercing, with the associated rejection risks and extended healing time. Healing of this piercing can also be complicated by irritation and damage caused by clothing, especially waistlines or tight clothing, or the position of the navel relative to the bend of the waist. The actual navel is not pierced when a navel piercing is performed. The most common form of navel piercing is through the upper rim of the navel. A true navel piercing requires the person being pierced to have an "outie" navel to some degree, and is extremely rare. Although there is an urban legend that an infection in a true navel piercing can travel inward to the liver or peritoneum, there are no known cases of this occurring.

Despite the possible long healing time and rejection, this piercing is one of the most common and popular body piercings today. Popular culture has played a large role in the promotion of this piercing. The navel piercing first hit the mainstream when model Christy Turlington showed her navel piercing at a fashion show in London.[1] The popularization of the piercing, however, is accredited to the 1993 Aerosmith music video for their song "Cryin'", where in Alicia Silverstone has her navel pierced. It also played a major role in pop culture after reigning pop princess Britney Spears navel piercing appearance. The easy hiding of a navel piercing with clothing, even during the healing process, has contributed to the widespread adoption of this piercing, especially by young people. Other notable celebrities with navel piercings are Hayden Panettiere, [2] Beyoncé Knowles,[3] Paris Hilton,[3] Lindsay Lohan,[3] Kelly Clarkson,[3] Melissa Joan Hart,[4] Janet Jackson,[5] Jessica Alba,[6], Christina Aguilera,[1] Joss Stone,[7] Rachel Stevens,[8] and Kristin Cavallari.[9] A navel ring bears little to no social stigma for women, who are the usual wearers of the piercings. Also, wearing midriff revealing clothing to show off one's navel piercing is a common practice. Due to the popularity of this often difficult to heal piercing amongst young people, especially young girls, this piercing is often done with improper, unsanitary jewelry or piercing tools, including ear piercing guns. Because many navel piercings are performed and healed semi-clandestinely, piercing studios, doctors and emergency rooms often have to deal with the results of improperly performed, poorly healed navel piercings. [edit] Jewelry A barbell with dangling pendants Clip-on belly jewelryMost kinds of ring or bar jewelry can be worn in a navel piercing, although they are most often pierced with a barbell, which is worn until the piercing has fully healed. A wide variety of decorative jewelry is available for navel - simple navel barbells, navel barbells with dangling pendants and navel barbells with attached belly chains. There has been a special standard established for navel barbells, also called bananabells because of their curved shape. The standard bananabell is 1/16" (1.6mm) thick and 3/8" (9.5mm) or 7/16" (11mm) long. The ball sizes are 5mm at the top and 8mm at the bottom of the shaft. Although navel bananabells are different to full rings - like CBR (captive bead rings) that also can be worn in navel - there is tendency by the Internet body jewelry retailers and wholesalers to reffer to them as belly button rings. A new version of navel jewelry is on the market for those without pierced navels, which is based on the idea of clip-on earrings.[10] [edit] Procedure Prior to piercing, the navel is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and the location of the piercing is marked. The piercing itself is performed with a clamp and a special needle, which installs the initial piece of jewelry as part of the piercing. First, a sterilized clamp is clamped on the skin above or below the belly button. Then the sterilized needle is pushed through followed by the sterilized jewelry that was chosen. New methods and advances in equipment often eliminate the need for clamping the skin prior to piercing.
