The belly button piercing remains one of the most iconic and feminine in the world of body piercing. Popular for decades and increasingly reinvented, it's a perfect choice for those seeking a sensual, discreet, or even irreverent touch.
At Piercepective, we offer implant-grade titanium belly button jewelry designed for maximum safety, comfort, and durability. In this guide, we explain everything you need to know before choosing your ideal jewelry.
What is a Belly Button Piercing?
A belly button piercing is a piercing made in the skin above (or in some cases below) the navel. The jewelry is positioned to highlight the abdominal area and is often worn with crop tops, bikinis, and other revealing pieces.
The piercing is done in skin, not cartilage, which generally facilitates the healing process — as long as the appropriate jewelry is used and the right care is taken.
What Jewelry Should I Use for a Belly Button Piercing?
The most commonly used types of belly button jewelry are curved barbells, also known as banana barbells, and navels, which consist of two ends with a curved bar. Similar to curved barbells, but with the added bonus that one end is fixed and cannot be unscrewed. At Piercepective, we offer these pieces of jewelry in implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136), the safest material and recommended by professionals.
The most popular options include:
- Simple Curved Barbells (Curved Barbell Bar) – minimalist, comfortable for everyday use
- Jewelry with Zirconias or Crystals – ideal for adding shine without overdoing it
- Designs with pendants – perfect for special occasions or for a bolder look
⚠️ Avoid jewelry made of surgical steel, silver, or costume jewelry, especially during healing — they can cause reactions, inflammation, or permanent staining.
Belly Button Piercing Care
Even when using safe jewelry, care is essential to avoid complications:
- Cleanse with saline solution or sterile saline solution, twice a day
- Avoid tight or high-waisted clothing directly over the piercing.
- Don't sleep on your stomach for the first few weeks.
- Never touch the piercing with dirty hands.
- Avoid changing the jewelry before the piercing has healed.
⚠️ Quality jewelry makes all the difference in healing and comfort. That's why at Piercepective, we only work with implant-grade titanium with internal threading—the standard used by professional piercers.
