Buy Your First Belly Button Ring

by Kenneth Cole Shoes on September 6, 2009

Getting your first belly ring can be a safe, stress-free experience – if you make the right preparations before the piercing and observe proper care afterwards. Once you do, you can eventually show off to everyone sexy diamond belly ring.

But first things first: know exactly which body areas are safe to get pierced. Check out the shops in your area offering navel or belly piercing. Ask people you know if they’ve been there or if they know someone who did.

It is even better if you go visit the shops. Ask them about their services and don’t settle for someone who “just works there” and doesn’t do the piercing him/herself. Talk with the person who will be performing the piercing on you if you’re going to have it done there. Piercers must be licensed by a local health board before they can offer their services to the public. Go ahead and ask for all the paperwork that shows that.

Next thing you have to know are the things you need to be prepared for after you get your navel pierced. For one thing, a belly piercing takes quite a long time to completely heal. Over next several months after you get pierced, there might be soreness and discomfort in that area. That’s because the skin on the belly is very thin, heals very slowly and feels pain a lot.

Knowing these things shouldn’t stop you from getting a navel ring, but it should prepare you for some changes in your lifestyle such as regular special cleaning in that area and refraining from public pools and seawater for the next 6 months. These things are necessary to avoid infections that can set on the piercing. Avoiding activities like strenuous running, which may also be necessary to prevent further pain and discomfort. But if you’re willing to wing it out for the entire healing period, you’ll be that more proud of your navel ring.

Now that you’re been educated, it’s time to know what kinds of navel rings are out there that’ll fit your personality. Navel rings come in many shapes and sizes and are made from different materials.

For first timers, bioplast belly rings are recommended. This is because this has the least chances for causing allergic reactions.

Stainless steel is by far the most popular material used for navel rings and they come in different forms from simple studs to intricate dangle belly rings.

Navel rings can also come in solid gold or gold-plated varieties. There are even ones that are embellished with a gem or jewel such as diamond navel rings.

Whatever you decide, always remember you have some level of responsibility involved. It is your body after all and no one has more of a stake in taking care of it, than yourself. To find options for belly and navel rings, check out http://www.navelrings4less.com.
