Navel Piercing

• HISTORY:.

  It has been said that the navel piercing dates back to the time of ancient Egypt and was a sign of royalty. However there is no proof that this is the case. The piercing seems to be a modern invention that over the past 10 years has grown to be very popular and helped to bring Body Piercing out of the Underground and into popular culture. Except for the ear lobe it is the most common piercing today. I figure I have done well over 3000 navels and still do between 10-30 a week.

• ADVANTAGES:

  Other then adornment the navel piercing really has no other advantage or use.

• DISADVANTAGES AND CONCERNS:

  Due to the location of the piercing it is more prone to migration, becoming affected and/or infected. Due to a large part because of clothing that is in contact with the piercing.

• MAIN HASSLES & HEALING TIME:

  The piercing must be cleaned twice daily, clothing must have a waist band that is well below the navel, can not sleep on your stomach, cross contamination prevention and no swimming. Average healing time is 6-12 months.

• healing time: 6 months to a year
• common jewelry: 14g to 10g 7/16 to 1/2
• axiom base with 14g surgical steel CBR:DaVo=$45.00
• Pain level on a scale of 1-10: between 2-5
