How an umbilical piercing is set

As is the case with piercings that are set through cartilage, such as nose piercings or certain ear piercings, a navel piercing cannot be shot. Setting a navel piercing should be done by needle piercing. The piercing actually goes through the skin around the navel. Usually this is the fold of skin directly above the navel, but you could also have an umbilical piercing on the sides or bottom of the navel. Incidentally, setting an umbilical piercing is not possible on all navels just like that. Of course, the piercer will discuss this with you in detail beforehand and explain whether it is possible to pierce your navel. With navel piercings, some navels have a high risk of irritation and inflammation, or the body may reject the piercing and it will grow out. This is a greater risk with navel piercings than with most other piercings, which is mainly caused by the fact that pressure can be put on the piercing by the abdomen pushing outwards. You can probably imagine that this is much less the case with piercings in the ear or nose because the ear or nose do not involve a lot of movement and inflow and outflow of pressure from within.

As for the pain experience of getting an umbilical piercing, the same actually applies as for other piercings: it varies from person to person whether getting a piercing is perceived as painful. If you are very sensitive to pain, then getting a navel piercing may be painful for you. But, rest assured, the pain will be very short-lived and afterwards you will remain the proud owner of a beautiful navel piercing!

Taking care of an umbilical perforation

After setting, the navel piercing takes a relatively long time to heal completely. The average duration of the process is around 6 months. During this process, you can at least make sure that you take good care of your navel piercing yourself and make sure that no things happen that will slow down the process. For example, it is important to consider the clothes you wear, but swimming in chlorinated water is also strongly discouraged. Keeping your navel piercing clean after piercing, as with other piercings, is an important part of successful piercing healing. You can do this by regularly keeping your navel piercing clean by rinsing well with a saline solution. Of course, when you get your navel piercing, the piercer will inform you in detail about all the things you should and should not do during the first weeks and months after getting your navel piercing. Also, always have your navel piercing done by professional and certified piercers, because the risk of scarring and serious infections lurks, especially for the navel piercing.

We'd love to hear from you.
