Bellybutton piercing is all the rage among young people. Bellybutton rings create a real fashion statement, especially when wearing low slung hipster pants and cute little short tops.

Not every bellybutton is suited to being pierced, so it is a good idea if you check yours out in the mirror before deciding to go ahead. Will it be visible in the clothes you wear? Is it going to irritate you by rubbing on your clothing? Does you bellybutton look good enough to be shown off?

It is best to have your bellybutton piercing done at a reputable salon to avoid the possibility of infection. Only go to an experienced specialist who works in a clean environment; it would be great if you can use someone who has been recommended by a friend who had their piercing done there. Check to make sure they use sterilized or single-use equipment so there is no chance of cross-contamination.

Have a plain ring fitted when you have the piercing done; this will be easier to keep clean and can stay in place until your wound has healed properly. Don’t attempt to take your bellybutton ring out of the piercing until well after it has healed over. You may not be able to get it back in.

Each day, when you have a bath or shower, make sure you dry the area around your piercing well. Put on some antiseptic and turn the ring around several times to prevent the skin healing over the metal. Re-apply the antiseptic after every shower and work it into the wound and around the ring, and continue to do this until it has healed over.

Redness around the piercing could indicate an infection, so you might need to see your doctor about it. Don’t leave it; it could get worse and then you might have to take your ring out altogether. Any weeping or pus around the piercing indicates a more serious infection, so see a medical professional immediately.

When the piercing site has healed you are able to take the ring out if you want to change it for a different one. Important note: leave this as long as you can to make it easier to get a ring back into the piercing hole. A great idea is to leave the ring in place and get yourself some little charms to hang from it. This is a great way of having lots of changes without having to hassle about taking the bellybutton ring out.
