For example, in ancient Egypt, only free citizens could afford this. Today, navel piercing in young girls and women is comparable in popularity to earrings in the earlobes.
Most often, the jewelry is inserted into the upper fold above the navel, but you can also pierce the skin from below or from the side. The main thing is that the correct length of the so-called product bar for navel piercing is selected. It should be 6-12 millimeters.
A very important point in this cosmetic operation is the observance of the necessary hygiene requirements by the master performing the navel piercing. If you decide to decorate your body in this way, then it is better to go to large salons where real masters of their craft work.
Which belly button piercing jewelry is best? In order for a fresh puncture to heal as quickly and painlessly as possible, experts recommend usingmedical steel as material. Products containing silver, nickel or cob alt tend to oxidize quickly, which can lead not only to inflammation, but even to blood poisoning. After the puncture has completely healed, you can please yourself with jewelry made from other materials, for example, from gold, platinum, palladium and others. Please note that very popular acrylic products are not recommended to be worn for a long time. Also, they should never be used if the wound has not yet fully healed.
How does the piercing procedure itself take place? First of all, you need to decide on the first decoration. Then, in the salon, the client marks the place of the future puncture with a marker. Further, this area is treated with a special disinfecting composition, if the client is afraid of pain, then local anesthesia can also be done. During the operation itself, a special clamp is used, which blocks the access of blood to the puncture site, thereby anesthetizing this area. As a result, a person practically does not experience pain, but only feels the pressure of the needle used for piercing. After the navel piercing is done, a special ointment and plaster is applied to the wound.
