Things you have to know about belly button piercing


Belly Button PiercingYour belly button is probably not high on your list of the sexiest parts of your body.

But by adorning it with a great looking belly button ring, it becomes  far more attractive.

It becomes a focal point when you meet people and others are always curious about them.

They say belly button piercing went mainstream in the early 90ies when Aerosmith aired their new video Cryin’ where Alicia Silverstone got her navel pierced. Before that body piercing wasn’t as popular as it is now and belonged to more specific groups of society like punks and rebellious youths.

Adding to that many top models appeared before public sporting embellished belly buttons. Supermodel Christy Turlington walked out at a London Fashion show sporting a belly button ring. The next day Naomi Campbell showed off her navel sporting a gold belly ring – she could do it, too!

After Christy and Naomi many celebrities started to appear in public wearing navel jewelry. More and more girls followed them…


The message was clear – ANYONE CAN DO IT!
