Earring in the navel
Many girls risk decorating their navel with an earring. This kind of piercing is done even by the fair sex, who are not supporters of unnecessary punctures on the body and extravagant jewelry. A well-chosen special earring looks neat and only adds attractiveness, catching the eyes of the opposite sex.
The first decoration and selection of the image
Before going to the master for the operation, it is necessary to select the appropriate decoration in advance. It is the specialist who will insert it into the puncture, and it will remain on the body until the wound is completely healed. The navel is a very tender and sensitive place that takes a long time to heal. The discomfort from the performed manipulation can persist for up to six months. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to your first jewel.
When buying your first jewelry, you should pay attention to the following points:
- material;
- the size;
- type of fastener;
- model.
The choice of jewelry should be treated responsibly. Such an adornment is like a piece of clothing that must be tried on before buying.
A variety of shapes and a variety of materials allow you to choose a flirty pendant for every taste. When choosing a model of earrings, you should be guided by the anatomy of the navel. The piercing only emphasizes a slender waist and a toned tummy, making a seductive image of a girl. If there are problems with the figure, it is better to avoid drawing attention to the stomach.
Small stones on "bananas" are not visible under clothing. Therefore, you should not give up the decoration of the navel just because of the strict dress code at work.But you can pick up a piece of jewelry with an original pendant and complement your summer look during your holidays.
Material
A wide selection of materials allows you to experiment with your own image. The navel earring can be made of medical alloy, gold, silver, wood, ivory, or silicone. Therefore, both supporters of the classics and lovers of extravagant outfits will be able to pick her up.
To avoid the unpleasant consequences of the operation, you should pay special attention to the material from which the first jewelry is made. For such an earring, medical alloy or gold is best suited. These metals do not oxidize on the body, do not cause allergic reactions, and promote wound healing.
After the skin has finally healed, you can use jewelry as a decoration. Silicone products are perfect for pregnant women.
Gold is a versatile material. These earrings are durable, look decent, do not cause irritation at the puncture site.
However, not all girls like to wear gold, preferring silver. From this material, you can also pick up a jewel for every taste. But do not forget that silver tends to oxidize, over time it loses its appearance. Also, a silver earring in rare cases causes inflammation. Then white gold becomes a great alternative.
Types of fasteners
There are different types of products designed to decorate the tummy. They are all comfortable to wear, no matter what they are called. It remains to choose for yourself a model with a fastener that matches the anatomy of the navel.
Barbell
It is a straight stick with a pebble on one end and a ball on the other. The stick is threaded into the navel, and the ball is screwed onto the main structure, thus securing the product to the skin.
Labret
It is similar in shape to a barbell, only on one side it has a disc. There is also a microlabre - with a thinner base. Such jewelry can be used not only for navel piercing, but also for nose, eyebrows, lips or ears.
Banana
The fastening mechanism is the same as that of the barbell, only its stick is bent and resembles a banana in shape. It is comfortable, widespread and neat. Only this type of fastener is more suitable for girls whose navel is retracted. Like any other piece of jewelry, it's best to try it on before buying.
Naveli
Such earrings are similar to the previous type, but stand out in a separate group due to their variety of models. Instead of the lower ball, there can be a butterfly, flower, fruit or any other beautiful pendant.
Circular
The product fastens in the same way as all of the above. Only in form is it a vicious circle.
Microdermal
The original type of piercing in the navel. Microdermal is used instead of the classic earring. This is a kind of bar, one end of which remains hidden from view. An "anchor" is implanted under the skin with a small rod onto which the desired element is screwed. Microdermals can be used to form whole compositions on the skin. The technology of implanting this kind of jewelry allows you to wear them literally on any part of the body.
Even the simplest earrings in their design can become the original decoration of the navel. It is enough to replace the ball on the bar or "banana" with a thorn, flower or berry.
Looks beautiful and emphasize the harmony of the figure of a pendant-chain or a row of round, oval or square pebbles. They look spectacular on girls in swimsuits or short tops.
You can choose an earring with one large solid color stone that fills the navel space. Jewelry with symbols or animals looks original.
Preparing for surgery
Before heading to the salon, you must carefully prepare for such a procedure. The healing process is long, during which the piercing site can become inflamed repeatedly.It is necessary to think over your wardrobe for the coming months - it is advisable to postpone tight blouses and tops, and select trousers and skirts with a low rise.
The area around the navel is very delicate, any physical activity can negatively affect the scarring of the skin. You should also exclude swimming in the sea, river and other open bodies of water. Life in the first months after skin manipulation should be planned to minimize the risk of infection and inflammation of the puncture site.
For all, the period of wound tightening lasts differently. You can forget about the discomfort in a few weeks. But it is still better to prepare for such a step so that the inflammation does not catch by surprise.
Navel piercing
The procedure should be carried out only in proven salons with qualified specialists. The thought of piercing at home should be ruled out altogether. Before carrying out the operation, everything is thoroughly disinfected, especially the decoration. The manipulation is carried out with or without local anesthesia. This is already chosen by the client, given his tolerance for pain.
The puncture is made slightly above the navel, on average, by half a centimeter. After that, the decoration is immediately threaded. A specialist will show you how to insert an earring. After six months, it will not be difficult to replace it yourself. It is enough just to wipe the jewel and skin with alcohol.
To minimize the risk of negative consequences of manipulation, you should carefully follow the rules of hygiene. The navel should always be dry and clean. At first, it is imperative to treat it with a disinfectant and change the dressing.
It is good if the first earring is made of medical alloy or gold. A variety of jewelry allows you to choose beautiful models from them. It is better to endure the first few months, so that later you can decorate your tummy with trinkets made of any materials without any problems.
Contraindications and consequences
The pebble on the tummy is beautiful, fashionable and sexy. However, not everyone is advised to get their navel pierced. Contraindications include:
- stomach ulcer;
- any allergic reactions characterized by rashes on the skin;
- blood disease;
- diabetes;
- hepatitis.
It is not worth the risk, because such diseases reduce the body's ability to resist infections. As a result, scarring can take many months, and you will have to get rid of the jewelry.
Shaping the canal under the earring after the operation is a long process. During the entire time, care should be taken so that the decoration does not move. Even changes in weight are negatively affected.
Girls often wonder what will happen to their beautiful and sexy tummy, decorated with an earring, after the birth of a baby. Belly button piercing as such is not a contraindication for pregnant women. In the early stages, the traditional earring can be replaced with a silicone one. But at the end of pregnancy, it will have to be removed. To prevent the hole from overgrowing, you can thread a fishing line or silk thread.
When planning a pregnancy, it is still better to refuse unnecessary manipulations with the skin. A navel puncture cannot harm the baby, but do not forget about the risk of infection and other negative phenomena that may arise as a result of poorly performed surgery. In addition, the wound will not have time to overgrow, the jewelry will have to be removed and the puncture will overgrow.
Even if the piercing was done a year before pregnancy, there is a risk that the piercing may heal.
