One year when i was 12, me and my mum were on a girly weekend holiday in gt yarmouth and we were wandering the town when i saw a belly button bar shop, it was so clean and fresh, and they pierced bellybuttons only. i looked at mum and she just signed and went in, she spoke to the lady’s who were absolutly lovely in there and looked at the jewellery.

She then signed the papers, cost £20 and i have a clear gemmed barbell in.
She clamped me, and pierced. It did hurt the most out of all my piercings ( a few in each lobe, tragus, rook, helix, conch and nose) but it still didnt hurt even though i have a high pain threshold.

I AM CURVY, AND IT MAKES MY BELLY LOOK SLIMMER
Thankyou for reading

Firstly, expect tenderness, swelling and irritation for the first few hours/days. It’s nothing to worry about. If it’s been a week or more and there’s no sign of improvement, go back to the piercer and ask for advice.

This is very important: DO NOT REMOVE THE JEWELRY UNTIL YOU HAVE CONSULTED A DOCTOR/PIERCER.  If you are concerned ask for help. Removing jewelry might not be necessary, and could cause further infections.

You’re just home from the piercer’s – what should you do? The following simple instructions will ensure your wound heals quickly.

SOAKING IN SALINE

Apply salt solution on your fresh navel piercing every day. Just soak some cotton wool with saline solution and place over your navel for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a day. If there’s some crusting on the belly ring, remove it gently.

You can make saline solution at home – dilute about 1/4  teaspoon of non iodized sea salt to 1 cup of clean, warm water and apply on your piercing twice a day. Or you can buy a saline solution at a drugstore or on the Net. See some great products below.

Don’t forget to soak your piercing with saline solution after your piercing seems to be well healed and there’s no puss coming out and crusting doesn’t form. Like taking antibiotics, you should go the full course. Soak in saline every day for 6 months minimum, or until you’re sure it’s 100% healed.

CLEANING YOUR PIERCING

• Do not use alcohol, bactine or hydrogen peroxide to clean the piercing under any circumstances. Stick to the following, proven, inexpensive methods and you will be fine.
• Use a mild, antibacterial soap to clean the piercing once or twice a day, preferably in the shower. Clean your hands and the rest of your body before cleaning your piercing. This will also loosen any crusties or other dirt around the piercing. Use cotton swabs or gauze pads to remove any stubborn matter – try to avoid using fingernails.

And that’s it! Saline soaks and soap! It couldn’t be easier!

However, I repeat, do not hesitate to get advice from a professional (piercer/doctor) if you feel your piercing is not healing correctly or if you notice anything unusual.

I talked to my mom about it and she said that we would get it done without him knowing. Oh by the way I’m 14. I eventualy found this place called Lucky Devil, it was the only place close to me that talked about how clean the place was, I showed my mom the website and she agreed that it looked like a good place.

That friday my sister, my boyfriend and I went to go get it done, i had watched a lot of videos on youtube about people gettig thiers done so i knew what was going to happen but i still got very nerous waiting to get it piecred. when the piercer called me back into the room i was so close to chikening out that my sister had to pull me a little into the room. it actually wasnt as bas as i thought it would be he told me exactly what he was going to do and showed me exactly what he was going to use as well.

He ended up piercing me with a captive bead ring and i have to say im really glad he did it was so easy to clean. ive had mne now for 4 months and i have already changed it to a barbell and im looking forward to swimming soon. overall im glad i went behind my dads back on this, having my belly button pierced is so cool.

I went to Body by Design. My parents had to take me in a couple days after Christmas since I wasn’t old enough to get it done by myself. When I walked in, I thought the shop looked cool and sanitary. The piercer I had was extremely nice and worked well with me and my fear of needles. She kept me calm. She used a clamp, which I thought helped with numbing up the area before she stuck the needle through.

I have a low pain tolerance, but I believe the procedure was quick and not too painful. It was more of just a quick pinch. I would compare it to like getting a shot. The piercing cost me $50 and then I gave a $5 tip. When I started to head out, I started to become lightheaded. The piercer informed me that thi is normal with some people.

She informed me to sit down and she gave me a water bottle and a sucker to bring up my sugar level. They gave me a bottle of sanitizer and told me to clean it every day. She also told me not to play with the piercing as it was healing, so it wouldn’t get infected. The night I got home, I was showing my friends my new piercing. As I kept looking at it, I noticed it seemed to be piercing extremely close to the skin. I thought maybe it was just because I was really skinny and didn’t have much fat on my stomach.

Not even two months later, I woke up one morning and my piercing was lying next to my bed. When I looked at my belly button, it was ripped so I couldn’t put the piercing back in and I have a little scar there when the skin closed back up. Even though I had a not so great experience with my first belly piercing, I’m going to get mine re-pierced this summer.

I’m not going to go to the same place obviously, but I’m definitely going to research the place next time…..

I was 14 at the time and my mum was REALLY strict and I had to think up a way to convince her so on the holidays she was in a good mood and I drew up a contract depicting what I was going to do for the next twelve months (extreme I know but for my mother it is protocall).

So here’s what we agreed on: Cleaning the kitchen every night for a year, Giving up being a vegetarian (not really she just doesn’t know) and getting along with my sister (that was the hardest one) but I grueled through and she finally took me there.

I looked it up on line and I decided to go to a place in north queensland (Australia) because it was clean and they used clamps. The peircer sat me down on the table and told me exactly what would happen. I wasn’t nervous at all (I pride myself on my not-nervousness even with nedles)

The peircing hurt little more than a vacination needle (if anything the clamp hurt more). That term I showed it off at school and I got lots of comments about how it was sexy and not trasshh it took about two months to heal. And the really exciting thing was that on the holidays I went to japan with my school for a school trip and it had a beach I struted the beach with my peircing as well as the attention of having blonde hair I also had the attention of having a peircing and even better yet my ex was there and he was evily jealous (mwahahahahaaaa) evil laugh I would encourage you to get a naval peircing but please don’t be all trashy about it.

Good luck BABY!!!

I had my uncle pierce me, since I was sure he used clean needles. I took MaCayla, and 2 other friends with me. all who had their bellies done too. In the car, I kept pinching myself so I wouldn’t feel a thing. I was terrified, but super excited.

My uncle kept teasing me to hurry up, so I picked a really cute belly ring and headed back after it was sanitized.

My uncle kept teasing me and telling me that it would gush out blood. I nervously laughed. Then he pulled out the needle. I said “Aren’t you gonna use a clamp thing?” I asked. DUMBEST QUESTION EVER! The clamp hurt like heck! It was worse than the needle! The needle got stuck half way in and he had to take it out and re-pierce it! When he put the bar in is when i almost cried. A few seconds later, BAM I was done. I got it for $15 since he was my uncle an loved me so much!

My uncle gave me all this stuff and a booklet to make sure I knew how to clean it properly. My parents were a little annoyed but they got over it. I’ve had it for a year now and I can take it in and out easily. It never got infected, never bled, never got that crusty goop, it was better than my ear piercings!!! I usually go to Piercing Pagoda for my belly rings, because they are adorable! I also go to my uncle’s shop for discounts.

I use barbells, I only like how they look, sometimes the dangly ones. It took 4 months to heal before I changed it for the first time. This was and is the best piercing I ever got. I love swimsuit sseason!

It’s important to know what materials the Diamond Belly Jewelry that you wear is made from. Manufacturers use many different materials and not every type will agree with your body chemistry. You need to know a little about each material so you can find the one that will work best for you.

• Stainless steel jewelry may have even a miniscule amount of nickel in it. For people with sensitive skin this can be a problem. 316L and 316LVM are the only stainless steels that are suitable for belly jewelry. Even these, unfortunately, do include trace amounts of nickel. Stainless steel is not used in the manufacture of Diamond Belly Rings.
• For those who like the look of stainless steel but cannot tolerate the nickel properties there are similar metals that can be used that do not have any nickel in them such as Titanium or Niobium. White Gold is probably the most common alternative. But beware, white gold usually contains traces of nickel too.
• Only 24 karat gold is 100% gold. 18 karat gold is 75% gold and 14 karat gold is nearly 60% gold. Anything else is gold plated and should not be used for Diamond Belly Jewelry because it is very thin and wears easily. If you see Diamond Body Jewelry sold with lesser quality gold, it would be best to avoid it. For new piercings you should always consider no less than 14 karat gold.
• In gold there are many other metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, and silver. White gold has more nickel in it than yellow gold does. Nickel free alloys are now being more commonly used.
• Titanium is sometimes used for Diamond Belly Jewelry. This is because it is very lightweight. Titanium is composed of aluminum, vanadium, and titanium. Titanium can weather body fluids better than any other materials used to make Diamond Belly Jewelry.
• Nobium is weightier than stainless steel and generally does not cause any chemical reactions.
• Sterling silver is mainly composed of silver but also contains a small amount of another type of metal such as copper. This is a good choice to wear in body piercings IF they are already fully healed. They are not a good choice for genital or mouth piercings because these areas are moist and silver tends to tarnish under these conditions.
• Platinum is a very wise choice for Diamond Belly Jewelry. Platinum is durable, strong and is known to cause less infections than other materials.

The best material to buy is usually gold. Diamond Belly Piercings should only use the best quality gold since low grades of gold can also cause the skin to break out. If you plan to use a lower grade of gold you should do so when your piercing has already completely healed. There are also a lot of styles and designs that you can choose from so it is a good idea to know a little about the various jewelry metals that are used before buying.

There is quite a bit more to enjoying a Diamond Belly Piercing than just buying a piece of jewelry that looks attractive. Piercings can be enjoyed over your lifetime if you know how to buy the correct jewelry for your piercing. This will also help to eliminate some of the frustration that can come with not knowing and that leads to an eventual closing.

Be aware that these factors are less important when choosing a Diamond Belly Ring due to the size of the diamonds in body jewelry. Diamond Belly Rings are affordable for this reason. The price of Diamond Belly Rings generally reflects the diamond carat – carat and cut are the most important factors when choosing a Diamond Belly Ring.

All Diamond Belly Rings on Belly Button Rings Guide are manufactured to the highest possible standards, using a minimum of 14k gold in our processes.

Before choosing which Diamond Belly Ring is right for you, check out our short guide to the 4 c’s of Diamonds……

• Cut
• Clarity
• Color
• Carat

While this may seem a bit complicated at first, these are really questions that anyone buying a diamond would ask. Of course you would ask how many carats a diamond is or its carat weight. You would ask about the cut to see if it is pear shaped, princess, or round shaped, etc. So, keep these things in mind.

Cut

The cut of a diamond is probably the biggest priority because it can affect the quality of the diamond itself. The cut can actually affect the other three c’s tremendously. It doesn’t matter if you have good color and clarity if the cut is not good. The cut is the size that the diamond is cut in and includes the width and the depth plus the overall uniform look of the diamond. Simply put, diamonds that are not cut well will not have that sparkle to them. Look for a diamond cut that is between 53% to 64% of the width. Always buy a diamond that is GIA certified.

Clarity

There are very very few diamonds that can be classified as flawless. Most diamonds have flaws that occur naturally when the diamond is forming. How well you can see the flaws, how many there are, and the size of the flaws is referred to as the clarity of the diamond. Diamonds that have the least flaws are more radiant and worth more money. There are inclusions and blemishes when you talk in terms of flaws in diamonds. Inclusions are on the inside of the diamond and blemishes are on the outside of it. An inclusion can be an air bubble or a crack whereas a blemish is a chip or a scratch.

Color

A clear diamond holds the most value. This is because it is more radiant and it sparkles more. Unfortunately, most diamonds are not clear so the closer the color is to clear the more it is valued. The lighter the diamond is in color the more light is allowed to pass through making it even more remarkable. To determine the color of a diamond a scale is used from GIA. A colorless diamond would have a D rating and one that has a yellowish hue to it would be a Z. Diamonds that fall from D to F on this scale are the most expensive and also the rarest. Keep in mind that most of the color is not visible to anyone that is not trained in the field.

Carat

The carat is the weight of the diamond. The carat will also determine the value of the diamond. 200 milligrams equals one carat. You may see the word carat also spelled as karat. Karat with a K is used in gold purity.

Diamonds are treasured gems. The industry has to have some type of grading system and the 4 c’s as part of the International Diamond Grading System is the one that is used to evaluate diamonds today.

History of Body Piercings

Today, one of the diamond vogues is wearing diamond body piercings, especially Diamond Belly Button Rings. This is a way that many people express themselves. An interesting fact is that belly button piercings can be traced back to times of Egyptian Pharaohs. Now it is just as popular for anyone to have a naval piercing, celebrities and non-celebrities alike. Since this is a growing trend, many celebrities love to show off their naval piercings.

Celebrities that Endorse Navel Piercings

Big names like Jessica Alba, Beyoncé Knowles, Paris Hilton, Janet Jackson, and Lindsay Lohan all have been photographed wearing diamonds in their navels. Celebrities set the current trends and people wait to see what the stars are doing before they do it so they know what is most popular. Not much looks hotter than a short top and a glistening diamond in the navel. The best news is that women do not have to have celebrity status to enjoy the same look.

Why Women Adore Diamonds

Diamonds have always seemed to dazzle women and have had the ability to sweep most women right off of their feet. Women dream of that breath taking diamond ring that they will one day wear on their wedding. Every woman wants to own at least one stunning diamond in her lifetime. Diamonds offer a sense of mysteriousness. One of the things that women seem to love most about diamonds is that they are so costly and luxurious. As a matter of fact, women more than love diamonds, they crave them. When women see a new diamond on another women they are awed and immediately ask what size the diamond is. This may be a subconscious way to tally up a mental cost to place on the precious stone or a way to see how much she is thought of as a person.

Belly Piercing Styles

There are a variety of different belly button piercing styles today but three are the most prominent. Naval piercings are usually in the upper fold of the belly button, below the belly button, or on the sides of the belly button. Many women get their navels pierced specifically because they have explored the possibilities of gorgeous diamond belly rings that are available. Let’s face it; diamond belly rings in a navel are very sexy and look very feminine.

Diamonds are one of the very few things that have never lost their popularity throughout the years. Even though the numbers of places where you can put the diamonds keeps changing with various piercing trends, diamonds are still the chosen stone to buy and wear.
