Belly Button Piercings
Body piercing is when a needle is put through part of
the body and then a foreign object is inserted as jewellery.
Eventually, the skin around the jewellery heals and a hole is left. The
hole is the piercing. It is perfectly safe when done by professionals
who are careful.
As the piercing is healing, it is important to note that there will be
a little fluid that is produced by the body in the piercing. This is
typically a milky white colour and it is created because there is a
foreign object in the body. This is not a problem but if the discharge
turns yellow or if the area of skin around the piercing becomes too red
then you should see a doctor.
Belly Button piercing has been prevelant for centuries and can be
traced back to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Indians. Body piercing
made a statement and stood for their status in society. Many piercings
were believed to represent a connection with the Gods.
Allegedly belly piercing came to the surface of society in the early
90ies when the top models like Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell
appeared on stage sporting belly button rings. Around that time navel
piercing scene was shown in the Aerosmith's video Cryin' where Alicia
Silverstone was getting pierced.
Small children often want to know why we have a belly button. In fact,
who doesn't love to indulge in a bit of navel-gazing, comparing their
own navels to those of their friends? It's when we feel deficient in
the belly button department, either because ours is too small, too big
or even non-existent, that our navel-gazing turns to neurosis.
The woman who did my wife's piercing instructed her on how to keep it
clean and free from infection. She was very careful to clean and care
for the piercing just as instructed. Unfortunately her belly button
still became infected. It was red and inflamed, but after carefully
treating it the infection cleared and she was now very happy with the
piercing.
Belly button rings come in so many varieties that are fun, pleasing and
attention catchers. Belly button rings could be flashing, dangling,
logo and pieces of artwork that are a gem designer’s craft. Placing
belly buttons rings will require piercing. Any piercing creates wounds
and wounds could get infected.
To use belly button rings, a belly button piercing is necessary. People
who decide to undergo such a procedure should be aware of the risks
that go with it. Among the risks are infection of the abdomen and blood
poisoning. When unclean equipment are used during the operation,
infections can occur.
Just like other belly button rings, fake belly button ring also come in
different shapes. There are those that fit on the navel area. These
items are commonly spiral-shaped. Likewise, fake belly button rings
also come with fake gemstones. These fake gemstones are made of clear
plastic materials that give them the look of real gemstones.
The healing process for a belly button ring can be extremely long (6 to
12 months), but you can help speed up the healing process by soaking
the area in a mixture of sea salts and distilled water. You can buy the
pre-made soaks that are offered at many piercing shops or you can make
your own in a pinch using sea salt and distilled water
