When people get their belly button piercings done in piercing studios, they usually are given a belly ring by the piercer. However, they don't always have in stock what you might like best! Then you have to wait till your piercing is well healed to insert a belly ring you truly like.
You even can become so anxious that you try to insert a new belly button ring before the piercing is healed. It can cause problems, though. The piercing can close up so that you can't insert the new piece and you keep on trying to push it in making more damage to the wound. Why all this fuss?
You can buy a belly button ring of your choice before you go to the studio!
You just have to know which materials don't react with body tissues and allow your navel piercing heal quickly.
You'd be better off not choosing a gold belly ring, for instance. Gold contains many other metals that may irritate fresh belly button piercings.
Below I've listed the best options for the first time belly piercings.
Bioplast navel ring
 |
According to the mainstream body jewelry opinion bioplast is the best choice for your first time belly button piercing. This material is great because of its biocompatibility and flexibility. If you use this material, your fresh piercing will be less likely to get infected and swollen - bioplast is proven to have these qualities. And if you're allergic to metal body jewelry, I recommend bioplast navel rings as the best from non-metallic belly button jewelry.
Stainless steel belly button rings
 |
Belly button piercings made from steel are fine for your first time navel piercing. This metal used in body jewelry is hypo-allergenic alloy. There are a few other metals added to make it resistant to corrosion and prevent rusting. Stainless steel is most widely used metal for making belly ring shafts - balls and dangles come in many other materials.
In fact - if you want to buy a steel belly piercing, you don't have to search for "steel belly rings" or try to find a category saying "steel". Most of belly jewelry is made from steel unless it says "gold", "titanium" or "PVD coated" etc.
Titanium belly ring
 |
This is a great choice because it is a very strong metal and is nearly as twice as light as stainless steel. I recommend you to get one of titanium belly rings - there are people sensitive to steel whereas titanium is a pure metal and isn't mixed with something else. In addition, titanium body jewelry comes in colors, but watch out! - not red or black. If you see a black belly button ring and it's said to be titanium, it's more likely a stainless steel plated with titanium, which is not the best choice for the first time belly button piercings.
So - let's conclude with what you have to do to get the belly ring before making to the piercing studio.
Choose a belly button ring made from one of the above mentioned materials.
Make sure it doesn't have any parts that can't undergo sterilization - acrylic or flexible plastic dangles and balls.
Buy it!:-)
