Nipple & Navel Piercings

Nipple

Nipple piercings have increased in popularity over time. They were in our top 5 most popular piercings for 2019!

For initial healing, we start nipple piercings with straight bars. Rings tend to move too much and can put pressure on the piercings, leading to bumps or scar tissue, longer healing, or greater chance of migration. We have all sorts of barbell options available, from basic ball ends to gems and precious metals.

For some, rings can be an option once the piercings are healed, but the necessary diameter to prevent damage to the piercings can be larger than expected.

“Standard” placement is horizontal, but any angle can be pierced, including vertical and 45º angles. For placements other than horizontal, rings don’t work very well.

Healing time for these piercings is typically 6 to 9 months but may take longer for some individuals.

Navel

Navel piercings are one of the most anatomy-dependent piercings and can be one of longest healing as well. It’s important to avoid high-waisted pants and anything else that would put pressure on the piercing while it heals.

An “ideal” navel will have a pronounced “shelf,” a deep enough opening to comfortably accommodate your jewelry, and won’t collapse when you sit down. With a navel this shape, initial jewelry will be a curved barbell, with or without gems. We estimate that only about 30-40% of folks have a navel with this shape.

For navels that aren’t quite “ideal” but still have enough of a shelf to support a healthy piercing, a “floating navel” piercing may be an option. The main difference is that the jewelry will have a small disk or ball on the bottom, with the decoration at the top. This smaller bottom helps take pressure off the piercing for easier healing. Dangles can be added to the top of healed piercings for extra bling. For some, a j-curve may be a viable option for bottom decoration once healed.

Healing time for this piercing is typically 6 to 9 months but may take longer for some individuals.
