your navel pierced was once a bit of a rebellious thing to do, but now this type of body jewellery is a mainstream display of fashion and has never been more popular.
If you have gone to all the effort of toning up your stomach then you’ll surely want to show it off, and a piercing will definitely get you noticed.
If you are thinking about getting a belly button piercing, this is what you need to consider.
The pain may be of concern to you and rightly so, but what you experience depends on your body’s healing process and the care you give your piercing.
You need to ensure you take very good care of it by cleaning it at least twice a day in order to reduce your chances of it becoming infected.
The best method to clean your piercing is with saline solution which you can purchase from pharmacies. Alternatively you can make it yourself at home. To make saline solution, first boil some water in a very clean saucepan.
Next, put it into a container and add a quarter of a teaspoon of pure sea salt. Using cotton buds, next apply the made up solution to the area of your piercing and wipe off any excess fluid .
The next step is to ensure you have bought the best quality jewellery to minimise the risk of any negative reactions & irritations. This usually will happen when you buy inferior quality jewellery – in particular,especially nickel which is best avoided as it is problematic in causing irritation.
The following materials are the best for use with piercings and belly bars:
PTFE : Contains no nickel and comes in lots of different shapes and sizes and is often advised for new piercings.
Totally suitable for pregnant women, and for those who are very active.
Titanium: It’s lightweight and very resistant to corrosion while being less likely to react with body fluids .It can be obtained with a coloured coating to look great .
316 surgical steel: Corrosion resistant ,has shiny, reflective qualities and can be easilty plated to give other finishes such as gold plated stainless steel.
