I went to my piercer yesterday with this idea of a belly button piercing. Here's what I've come up with, tell me if you've seen this before. And give me links to photos if you have any. Basically a surface piercing horizontally across the naval. The two ends of the barbell sticking out on either side and you can see the bar inside the navel. I've never seen this befor it just kind of popped into my head one day.
That sounds sick! I've never seen that before either, cool idea. post pics of it fo sho if you get it done I'm interested to see what it will come out like
It's kind of like an industrial on your navel. If you can get it to work it would definately be unique. Peace
Yeah man, that's it... only, I don't want the bar to be so long. Do you think that that piercing is still healing because it looks a little red? Either way, that's the general concept of what I'm going for. I want mine to look a little neater than that. That example looks a little lopsided. Like the left side (her right side) is a little too long. It could just be the way that the photo was taken.
It looks like it might be irritated...who knows. It looks like a poorly executed piercing to me. I think that the inital jewelry would need to be a little long to allow for swelling. I think that it would be a hard piercing to heal. Traditional navels are hard to heal (IMO) because of movement/clothing/pressure...I imagine this kind of navel piercing would be even harder to deal with.
the jewelry is definitly way too long in the pic and i would definitly recommend tygon hunny ...its plastic teflon tubing instead of metal and it heals hard to heal piercings MUCH easier than steel.
there are many navel industrial-esque piercings floating around. biggest things.. it can be a bitch to heal. navels are not an easy thing to heal well and if youre silly enough to form an industrial style piercing straight away with one piece of jewellery (as that picture looks) youre just asking for trouble. main thing would be to get both done with the end product in mind, and let them both heal. were talking at least 3months before even thinking about changing the jewellery. and then, well you may need to bend up a custom bar to fit it well without creating stress on the skin that will lead to rejection (which is very very easy with something like this)
