Trendy accessory, the navel piercing seduces all profiles of people. It makes it possible to sublimate this particular area of the female anatomy. You can even take inspiration from Madonna, Christy Turlington or Naomi Campbell who are the pioneers of navel piercing. If this trend tempts you, it's time to adopt new looks to highlight your piercing.
Beyond the fashion effect, the navel piercing is a way to assert your personality . Young people especially like to invent an identity in order to distinguish themselves. Their goal:to get noticed with piercings or even tattoos. Anyway, let's take a look at the different types of piercings.
This very trendy accessory was widely democratized in the 90s. We remember very well Naomi Campbell who showed off her navel piercing during fashion shows. The small, discreet but erotic effect has won over thousands of women. In general, the piercing is said to be classic when it is placed on the edge of the umbilicus, on the upper part of the navel. You can also perform the piercing below the navel , hence the name reverse navel piercing. Be careful, however, you will have to wait for the skin to heal before changing the jewel. The skin around the navel will take between 6 to 12 months to heal.
The tongue piercing can be perceived as an accessory of seduction. It comes in the form of a vertical bar that crosses the tongue. Count about 6 weeks healing time .
Very widespread, the piercing made in the ear turns out to be much less barbaric. As for the location, you have the choice between the lobe (healing time 6 weeks), the helix (healing time 6 to 12 months), the tragus (healing time 6 to 12 months), the snug (healing time 12 months), conch (healing time more than 12 months) and finally rook (healing time 12 months) .
The lip piercing is also very common, what is more, the healing time does not exceed 10 weeks . It will nevertheless be necessary to comply with the usual care to prevent the risk of infection.
If you opt for a nose piercing, the choice is very wide with regard to the location. A classic piercing is done on the wing of the nose. Otherwise, you can let yourself be tempted by a bridge piercing or a septum piercing .
This type of piercing appeals to both men and women. Unlike other piercings, this accessory aims to optimize the sensitivity of this erogenous zone . In addition, count on a healing time of 6 months.
A piercing of the navel, ears, nose or nipples involves particularly strict hygiene rules. The goal is to limit the risk of complications related to possible infections. First, wash your hands before touching your piercing. It will also have to be cleaned several times a day with a suitable solution. You must also slide the jewel regularly to prevent the formation of crusts. Then dry everything with a soft clean cloth. Avoid cotton pads as much as possible, which may leave residue in the wound.
After a piercing, it is also not recommended to bathe. You risk hindering or even delaying healing. In addition, seek the advice of a doctor before changing the jewelry at the risk of causing an infection. As soon as you notice the slightest anomaly, see a health professional . This will avoid major complications. Once the healing phase is over, you are completely free to change the jewel as you wish. Be careful when handling your piercing though. Disinfection is also required when replacing the jewel. Be careful, be aware that the hole can close up if you remove your piercing for too long.
A navel piercing takes several weeks to heal. It is therefore advisable to respect certain precautions, starting with wearing loose t-shirts or tops . Also plan low-rise pants to minimize chafing and possible infections.
If you are a trendy woman, some must-haves are to be expected after your navel piercing. At first, favor oversized outfits by focusing more on timeless classics such as the loose white shirt and black pants. The first can be worn on any occasion. We particularly appreciate the chic appearance it gives. In addition, black pants rhyme with elegance. This must-have piece can be worn day or night. However, prefer low-rise models that will not interfere with the healing process of your navel piercing.
If you are one of those who likes to proudly show off your navel piercing, we recommend the crop top. This 90's trend is making a comeback and is suitable for any look. This is a very short top that stops above the navel , revealing your beautiful piercing. This piece gives a feminine look and a little sexy side to the one who wears it.
As a reminder, any top can sport a crop cut:shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, tank tops or even vests. There are even crop jackets that combine elegance and relaxation. The crop top is suitable for all body types. All you have to do is find the model that suits your tastes and style. Note that the crop top can be worn in summer as well as in winter. It is thus associated with a fleece vest or concealed under a shirt. Also count on the chunky knit sweater versions that are worn with jeans and a pair of heeled ankle boots. The crop top can also be worn under a short-sleeved dress or under trendy overalls .
A rather discreet accessory, the navel piercing nicely enhances the belly . It also gives you a sexy side. However, the choice of material must be carefully considered. Infections and irritations should be avoided as much as possible.
Surgical steel is preferred for its stainless side. It is also an essential material when it comes to piercing. In addition, it is much cheaper than gold or titanium. Technically, we recommend 316LVM surgical steel for a first navel piercing . You must wait for it to heal before changing to 316L surgical steel. You will then have the choice in particular with a jewel of red color following the anodization process. Otherwise, a black piercing obtained by projection of ionized gas is just as trendy.
Renowned for its strength and lightness, titanium is generally preferred when it comes to navel piercing. It is particularly indicated for people with sensitive skin who develop allergic reactions to nickel. Titanium keeps the same appearance and promotes the healing of your navel . Even more, you have the possibility of anodizing your jewel in order to modify its tint.
925 silver is mainly the visible part of the jewel navel, because the bar is always made of surgical steel.
This material combines flexibility, comfort and lightness. It is a high-tech plastic that is intended to be very flexible. Bioflex is also indicated for piercings on the body. The advantage of a bioplast jewel is that it can be worn anywhere , even for sports. Its longevity is no longer to be proven, moreover, it is a hypoallergenic material. If in doubt, you can always sterilize it by autoclave at 120°.
Much less known than titanium or surgical steel, niobium can very well be used as an initial piercing . In addition to highlighting your belly, the jewel can also match your clothes. Unlike steel or 925 silver, niobium comes in a matte shade that combines finesse and elegance.
14 to 18 karat yellow or white gold is also suitable for a first navel piercing. However, prefer jewelry free of nickel, a particularly allergenic material. It will nevertheless be necessary to pay the price, because gold jewelry is much more expensive . For those who opt for gold plating, we advise them to wait for the wound to heal.
To complete the navel piercing, we recommend rather showy jewelry .
This is an essential accessory. You can indeed make various combinations depending on your outfit or your mood. Better yet, add charms with a more or less original appearance.
Very trendy, mismatched earrings bring a touch of elegance and fantasy to the look . They also complete the navel piercing without overloading the outfit. Also dare earrings of different lengths, shapes and colors.
Sublime, the two-sided earrings match any style of clothing . Thus, the back of the lobes is no longer sacrificed.
Multi-row necklaces also complement navel jewelry. There's nothing better than a tiered design to bring style to your outfits , even the simplest ones. Dare to combine different metals to create an extraordinary look.
Bead necklaces come in different colors . This type of accessory will certainly remind you of your childhood or the holidays. You can also wear a pretty beaded necklace on a more or less formal outfit. This fun accessory will complete the navel piercing.
For those who bet on originality, we recommend multicolored fancy rings. These are notably available in plastic or acrylic versions. Better yet, handcrafted models are on the rise. You will thus have unique rings to complete your piercing at the navel.
In order to best meet demand, manufacturers are constantly innovating their navel jewelry offerings. The choice is thus very wide between piercings in the shape of a heart, a feather, a stem or even a flower. Also fall for jewelry in the shape of an anchor or dream catcher . In addition, some models of navel piercings are doing very well during pregnancy. In addition to the shape, navel piercings come in different particularly bright colors such as rainbow or even fluorescent. Also count on the jewels provided with zirconium oxide in their center. The multi-crystal versions are also very trendy, not to mention that they are water resistant.
It is not always easy to make your choice given the different shapes of navel piercing . Should you opt for a jewel in the shape of a ring or a banana? In which case, the spiral piercing is just as trendy. For the practical side, we will still favor the horseshoe style. It is worth taking stock of the benefits that go with the different forms of piercings.
For a first navel piercing, we will favor the ring. Why ? Quite simply because it is easy to clean, thus limiting the risk of infection. Nevertheless, you can always opt for a banana-shaped model. However, it will be necessary to carry out the care carefully in order to optimize the healing process .
To go further, be aware that natural pearl navel piercings bring a certain added value to the look. You will also find models with waist chain associated with a nice summer tan. On the other hand, it will be necessary to ensure the good healing of the wound before replacing the basic piercing for a more stylish version. You are free to choose from the many trendy models .
