Belly button piercing: reviews, consequences

It seems that very recently, in the average inhabitant of our country, any objects inserted into the punctured skin, caused associations with the wild tribes of the Aborigines.

However, time, as always, makes its own amendments, and now it's strange not availability, but the absence of holes with stuck in them trinkets in the navel, nose or eyebrows.

Why do people do navel piercings? The reviews confirm that the popularity of this form of avant-garde art, like body art, is connected with the solution of three problems:

  • The expression of adolescent protest;
  • Demonstration of belonging to a current;
  • Increased sex appeal.

Where did he come from, this piercing?

The custom to insert in the puncture of the skin of jewelry existed even in ancient Egypt. Although most often speaking of piercing, we remember the appearance of representatives of African tribes.

It is known about the connection of such a tradition with totem cults. One of the versions tells that the disfigurement of women's faces was done with holes to discard them in the eyes of slavers.

Anyway, but in the Russian chronicles the first mention of the piercing is associated with the name of Prince Igor, who wore a large earring in his ear. Did this and other people, regardless of gender and age. Fashion for piercing the body then left, then came back again.

At the moment, we are witnessing another surge of interest in this kind of decoration of appearance.

How do navel piercings?

The procedure is carried out under sterile conditions. The master works in surgical gloves, the operation is accompanied by local anesthesia.

The marker marks puncture points in the upper part of the navel (there are fewer blood vessels there). The working area, tools and hands are disinfected, the sterile needle is smeared with petroleum jelly. Tweezers tighten the skin to reduce the flow of blood to the site of surgery.

Only special needles with laser sharpening are suitable to make the navel piercing. The reviews leave no doubt: these tools are so sharp that they do not damage the fabric, but as if pushing them apart, which can not be said about pistols.

In addition, this tool can be sterilized at high temperatures. The needle is inserted into the plastic tip, and only its tip can be seen from the outside. With his help, a pinched skin is pierced with a sharp movement, after which the tool is removed, and in the wound there is only a plastic cap.

It creates a hole that is sufficient to pass the ring. After that, the cap is removed, and the ring, oiled with petroleum jelly, remains in the skin. Then it closes, the wound is treated with cotton wool with disinfectant solution. After the procedure, it is usually recommended to lie down for two hours.

Do you need this?

Surely, each of us has a lot of friends who have already made themselves a navel piercing. Reviews, consequences and care - all this information they are ready to provide you. Listen to their advice carefully and consider some circumstances:

  • The procedure for piercing is contraindicated when the body develops an inflammatory process, a cold or an exacerbation of a chronic disease.
  • Piercing is not recommended for people involved in active sports. The fact is that a lot of sweat accumulates in the navel area, and this can provoke a strong irritation after the operation.
  • The habit of wearing tight clothing can seriously inhibit the healing process of the puncture, since friction will create irritation with infection.
  • It is not recommended to pierce people with excess weight, since fat folds lead to the formation of sweat in the injured zone, creating a favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria.
  • A too bulging navel or bulging belly can make the appearance of the piercing unattractive. This is worth thinking about.
  • It should be possible to give 15 minutes twice a day for hygienic cleaning procedures and another 10 minutes for soaking the piercing in saline solution. This regime will last for 3-4 months, for some, compliance is difficult.

    Pregnancy and piercing

    Many women are interested in whether the navel piercing can influence the bearing of the baby. Reviews are unambiguous: at the beginning of pregnancy this type of decoration is not a hindrance. But as the abdomen grows, the appearance of stretch marks is often observed, the puncture may increase in volume and become inflamed.

    In some cases, even scars occur. Along with the growing abdomen, the navel protrudes outward, the earring clings to the clothes, causing pain, and sometimes irritation and even breaks.

    For this reason, it is better to refuse to wear the trinkets on the navel for the time of bearing the baby, and instead of decorating into the canal insert a silk thread so that it does not become overgrown.

    If precautions have not been taken and the scars are still formed, they can be removed by laser resurfacing in a medical facility.

    To reduce the likelihood of defects on the skin, it is recommended to apply a special cream from stretch marks or fatty oil to the puncture sites. It is especially risky to do piercing shortly before pregnancy (less than 1-1.5 years).

    Possible negative consequences

    Practice shows that not all cases are beneficial effects of piercing. Feedback from those who have undergone the puncture procedure indicate the need to comply with certain conditions in order to avoid problems:

    • Do not touch the inserted jewelry with tight fitting clothing. This often leads to traumatization of the wound, infection and the occurrence of an inflammatory process. Such a risk exists always, but especially it is great until the wound is completely healed.
    • If the puncture is not deep enough or the jewelry is incorrectly chosen, there may even be a rejection. Usually this occurs 10-15 days after the operation. If the puncture is incorrectly made, the earring is raised and as if pushed out, towering above the skin. This causes discomfort and even pain.
    • One of the frequent complications of piercing - inflammation - can occur as a result of bathing (getting water), maceration with clothes, touching dirty hands, etc. This complication is best resolved under the guidance of a specialist.
    • If a week does not manage to cure the inflammation, then the adornment will have to be taken out, the puncture will be overgrown, and the entire operation must be reintroduced. Otherwise, a deformation of the canal is possible, and this complication negatively affects the navel.

    Keep in mind that if you initially notice a flaw in the fresh puncture, then you can remake it without any problems. If a lot of time has passed and the wound has healed, then to complete the repeated piercing, you must first completely cover the existing channel.

    In addition, remember that the piercing after 40-45 years has its own characteristics. Skin, which has lost elasticity, it is easier to pierce than a tight young. Yes, and the decoration will be much better to keep in a natural position. However, healing processes with age are slower, so it is desirable that the specialist for the procedure was selected highly professional.

    Care of the puncture site

    Because of contaminated tap water, poor quality ornaments, getting sweat on the wound and irritating her with clothes, healing the navel sometimes takes from one to two years! To accelerate this process, it is recommended:

    • Take zinc in an amount of 50 to 100 milligrams and vitamin C at least 500 milligrams a day. In no case can not remove the jewelry from an unhealed wound.
    • At least twice a day, rinse the puncture, disinfect it and do not touch it with dirty hands.

    Belly button piercing. Men's Feedback

    The opinions of the representatives of the stronger sex about this type of body decoration are ambiguous. Of course, no studies on this topic, no one produced, but from the reviews on the forums it follows that the female piercing attitude is more supportive, although positive feedback is still less than 50%.

    And what happens when a representative of the stronger sex makes a navel piercing? Reviews of men are often negative because of suspicion of non-traditional orientation of the owners of such "beauty."

    Supporters decorating themselves, deforming the body, call their opponents "Stalinists" who are not capable of creativity. Passions are boiling, but the truth, as always, is far from extremes.

    "You can be a sensible person and think about the beauty of nails," said the poet once, and it's hard not to agree with him. Someone is pierced, some do not. Someone thinks this is a manifestation of freedom and individuality, but for someone this is squalor.

    So is it worth to do a navel piercing? The pros and cons must be carefully weighed before the procedure. The appearance should express the inner filling, but it has its own. It is important to understand that reviews about navel piercing in men will most likely be negative.

    A bit of history

    Today this type of adornment of one's own body has become predominantly a woman's hobby. But it was not always so. In the time of the Egyptian pharaoh priests inserted into the body ornaments. In this case, the navel piercing meant that the man has special privileges.

    The ring in the navel in ancient Egypt was the privilege of the estate of the nobility. By the way, the same can be said about the Roman centurions. Caesar's personal protection made herself piercing her nipples, and that's what set them apart from the rest of the guards.

    Moreover, this decoration also had an applied purpose - cloaks attached to punctured nipples were attached to the rings.

    What earrings to give preference?

    It is very important to choose the right material for the decoration that you use when making piercings. Customers' reviews suggest that cheap alloys often cause allergies, inhibit wound healing.

    Earrings from Teflon or from PTFE are considered the safest. These substances are used in surgery, they are soft, elastic.

    Products made of silver are often oxidized by contact with the skin, and cause irritation even after wound healing. This is also true for pierced ears. Gold jewelry is safer, but only if their sample is not less than 585th.

    If a piercer offers you a surgical steel earring, then his skill level should be questionable. Ornaments made from this alloy give off dangerous ingredients. They can cause not only allergies, but even pigmentation and scars, not to mention that it will be very long to heal such an injured puncture.

    How to choose a salon?

    Piercing is not a very expensive service. In Moscow, the price for it varies from 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles. Having bought a local newspaper, you will surely see a lot of ads on this topic: piercing, navel piercing, discounts, reviews and beauty salons.

    First of all, you should think about your health and try to choose a good interior:

    • A credible institution can be considered the one in which a minor client will be required to have written permission from the parents for the procedure. This moment is important, he talks about the level of professionals who value their reputation.
    • A good salon must have a license, and a master must have a doctor's or piercing specialist's diploma.
    • Ensure the sterility of the tools used.
    • The specialist who conducts the procedure must be available at any time for consultations in the event of complications in the postoperative period.
    • Run out of the cabin, where they offer a puncture from the pistol.
