Navel Piercing Tips and Tricks

Navel piercing is one of the most popular piercings so it makes sense to know how to do it correctly.

Unfortunately it is also seen as "an easy" piercing to do - which it can be the case when you have ALL the information - but when you don't - it is also the most unforgiving.

Blood supply to the navel area is minimal - therefore the body cannot heal it as easily as other piercings. For that reason alone we need to give it the BEST possible chance for success.

Piercing width is critical. Rule of thumb is 7mm wide - when lying down - for most of the readily available body jewellery that is 3/8" or 9.5mm in length/diameter. When the jewellery size changes - so must the piercing width.

The piercing for a ring is different to the piercing for a bar. Angles and placement really matter when it comes to the jewellery sitting correctly - and therefore healing.

Not every navel is suited to piercing with a bar - even though it is currently the most popular jewellery choice. Fashion trends change though - back in the 90's I was doing the significant majority of navel piercings with a ring. 

Although navel piercing can work for women of all shapes and sizes - my rule of thumb when deciding if a larger woman is likely to heal a navel piercing is whether her navel is easily visible when standing. If it isn't then the piercing would be unlikely to heal.

Initial jewellery choice should be simple. "Bling" is still an option - but lots of dangles or points are not. To "heal" the piercing is the FIRST priority. Jewellery that is solid in design without cavities for bacteria to hide is essential.

Navel piercings do NOT always reject or infect. This is a common urban myth that stems from piercings being performed incorrectly with inappropriate jewellery. If this is a common result with the navel piercings you do - then you are missing some training.

 

I hope you have found the above information useful. If you would like to find out more - Navel piercings are one of the piercings that are covered in the Level 1 Training Course starting on October 2nd.

 

Sterilisation and Infection Control

Here is the link to a distance training designed for Tattooists/Body Artists that covers the sterilisaton aspect of what we do.

Tattooist/Body Artist Course in Infection Control and Sterilisation - by distance education

It would be a good training for anyone who re-uses items during the course of their business.

Correct sterilisation is essential in what we do.
