Alarah helped me today and was such an angel! I was turned away for a piercing from another place, and she helped me with a second opinion. She was so helpful and great with explaining my unique situation and was extremely patient with me and my nerves. Highly recommend her and all of my other work at Silver Safari has been equally great.

Worst customer service experience ive ever received. Lady was very rude and unempathetic. Never going back there

I came in to get my septum pierced. The gal who checked me in was really sweet and helped me pick out jewelry. When I went to pay I found out it was $10 off! Score. I was told to wait because there was someone in front of me so I spent my time smelling all the incense (there were so many yummy scents). Brandi pulled me back and explained what she would do. She was very sweet and worked quickly. Now I look like a baddie. Thanks guys!!

UPDATE: i had originally left a 5 star review because my second lobe piercing was great. not even a week after getting them they both became extremely infected. over the course of 3 hours, i could no longer see my earring. i had no choice but to take off the back and of course it bled so much. i then stood over my sink for 20 minutes pushing on the earring stick. my entire body was covered in blood but i finally got it out. my ear is still black and crusted over with blood. i wont upload pictures because it's so disgusting.

I had gotten my belly button pierced and the lady decided to go slow as possible and I feel like they haven't done the prep properly because after cleaning right and after two days of doing everything properly it got infected! L piercer

I waited 15 minutes at the sheep gate as two customers were max capacity. This place is a joke. They are so Covid conscience that they limit the guests but don't wipe anything down or wear masks. I ended up buying jewelry from Kay Jewelers. #Clowns

I live in SF and wait till I come to Spokane for a visit to do my peircings! They are affordable and Tanner is amazing! I've had Tanner do my peircings over the years and have watched him grow with the company, which is pretty awesome! Can't find too many places anymore where you find the same people time and time again. I've never had an issue with any of my 16 peircings from Silver Safari!

Taylor S. was so helpful on picking a jewelry. Assured I'd be taken care of till the end. She was encouraging, empathetic through out. Becky was so easy going with my thought on my piercing and my concerns during the process. Honestly one of my better experiences during a piercing process. Got my left eyebrow pierced; didn't hurt a bit. Thanks to Becky's breathing exercises. Can't wait for my next time in. Thank you so much guys. Appreciate you sm

Photo of Myra F.

I had the pleasure of getting my first nose piercing with Taner, who was very professional and explained everything that he was doing the entire time. He took my input in where I wanted my nose stud placed. I was very happy with my results and with the professionalism, quickness and the choices of the nose studs. The entire cost was $55 with the piercing, the stud I chose, and cleaning materials. I am very happy with my results!

Photo of Ryan F.

I got my 2nd holes pierced on both ears and the wait was a little long due to covid-19 in effect but totally worth the wait! The staff were very nice and knowledgeable. The guy who pierced my ears (cant remember his name but it started with a 'T') did a very good job. He even explained to me the sterilization of their needles and placed the piercings symetrically 100%! He explained the cleaning process professionally and well. They even give you a decent sized cleaning solution as part of paying for the piercing and jewlery. The pricing for their products tend to be on the high side but it's because it's not cheap material/metals and services are average, and even cheaper than some other places i've been to in the past. Would highly recommend! Will return here for my industrial and eyebrow piercings when i'm "due" for them. *the purple markings in the photo on my ear was from their markings, it's not swollen or infected!*

Here Are The Many Different Types Of Belly Button Piercings You Can Choose From

How do I acquire more belly buttons to get all of these?

Belly button rings are, once again, the latest must-have accessory. However, there are so many different styles beyond the traditional ring that you may not even know about. And if you do, then you may be overwhelmed by the options. But, if you’re considering taking the plunge, you’ll want to prepare by getting familiar with all the different types of belly button piercings so you’re not caught off-guard at the piercing shop.

“For navel piercings especially, anatomy is key. There is no ‘standard’ navel, as every person is unique, as is their navel anatomy. Depending on how their navel moves while they are sitting, standing, stretching, bending over, these all play a role in how it should be pierced and what jewelry would work best,” Paige Amber Holloway , a piercer from Oshkosh Wisconsin tells Elite Daily. “Weight has nothing to do with a navel piercing, it's just the actual shape of the navel that matters. It doesn't matter if you're 80 pounds or 300 pounds; you either have the anatomy or you don't.” So, once you’re in the shop, you should first and foremost consult with your piercer about what they think will look best. But before you get to that step, educate yourself first on the different styles so you’ll be fully aware of what your piercer is talking about. Walking in blind will only confuse you and make the whole process much more complex than anyone wants.

The many different types of belly button piercings all come with their own perks and downsides, so you have to be ready for the commitment you’re making. (Be prepared to snag a few high-waisted pants on your new jewelry, especially as it heals.) Below are professional piercers and belly button ring wearers’ takes on the different types of piercings you can get.

An Upper Belly Button Piercing

View on Instagram

This is the most standard type of belly button piercing; however, Holloway warns that it doesn’t work for every navel shape out there. “This type of jewelry only works for probably 50% of people, even less honestly,” she says. “For that type of jewelry to be comfortable, you have to have a very prominent navel shelf, and your navel shouldn't collapse too much while you are sitting or bending over. That movement of your navel caving in will cause the jewelry to push upwards and put pressure on the top of the piercing, thus causing irritation and trouble healing.”

Reva, 23, had her upper belly button pierced for about seven years before taking it out. “It stemmed from this want to be both edgy and a bit basic,” she says. “I took it out two years ago. I miss the look of it constantly; however, it was too much upkeep. The piercing got caught on literally everything and was always red.” Again, while everyone’s different, this is a sign that, no matter how simple your belly button ring is, you’ll want to be sure you’re able and willing to care for your piercing properly.

A Lower Belly Button Piercing

A lower belly button piercing is ideal for those with wider navels. It often uses the same barbell shape as an upper navel piercing, but it ends lower on your body. If you’re incredibly married to high-waisted pant styles, though, Billy DeBerry , a professional piercer whose shop is based in Kissimmee, Florida, notes that that silhouette mixed with this type of belly button piercing poises a “possible issue with healing.”

A Double Belly Button Piercing

A lower and upper navel piercing performed by Dean Galgano

If you want to go all out and get your belly button as blinged-out as possible, your best bet is to get both a lower and upper belly button piercing in one go — that is, if you’re willing to take on some extra care. Pro piercer Lady Day previously told Elite Daily that you should expect a longer healing time and longer soreness when you get a double piercing.

A Dermal Belly Button Piercing

A dermal piercing done by Eden Cox.

“For people who don’t have enough of a flap of skin they can, depending on their anatomy, go with surface piercings, sometimes referred to as microdermals or surface anchors. These are single-point surface piercings with tiny posts implanted under the skin with a gem coming out of the top to give the illusion of a navel piercing,” says Dean Galgano , a New York-based professional piercer. “These require a little extra aftercare and take a bit longer to heal, unlike the standard navel piercing which is fairly easy to heal.” If you opt for this type of belly button piercing, Galgano says the typical aftercare would involve cleaning the area with a sterile saline solution once a day “for however long your body takes to heal.”

In fact, some piercers even prefer this look over more traditional styles. “One of my favorites is the single dermal navel so all you see is one crystal top,” DeBerry adds. “I like that over a barbell. It just looks cleaner and nicer to me.”

A Floating Navel Piercing

A floating navel piercing done by Paige Amber Holloway.

A “floating navel” may look like a dermal piercing, but it turns out they’re a bit different. “Floating Navels are what I most often use for fresh navel piercings. They are becoming more and more popular now, with modern piercing practices becoming more mainstream and piercers actually wanting to better their clients and not just take their money,” says Holloway. “Floating navels are for folks that have a more deep-set navel, or a navel that collapses when they sit down. The jewelry has something smaller on the bottom, inside the navel — generally a small bead or disc — then the top of it can be just as simplistic or have a super fun adornment. This ensures the client is comfortable while moving and the jewelry is not putting pressure on the top of the piercing.” I’m no professional, but it sure sounds like an ideal piercing.

Keep reading to learn all you need to know about belly button piercings, from pain to healing time to aftercare.

What Is a Belly Button Piercing?

A belly button piercing, also known as a navel piercing, is a piercing through the skin located directly above the belly button. This allows the jewelry to hang slightly over the belly button to essentially highlight itself. If you don't like the traditional placement or it doesn't work well for your anatomy, other potential placements for your belly button piercing include the lower rim, upper rim, and sides of the navel.

Belly button piercings are done either with tools or freehand by a professional piercer. First, the area will be cleaned, and if you have some hair in the way, your piercer will most likely shave the area with a disposable razor to allow for a smooth and clear piercing site. Then, if your piercer is using tools, they will use a clamp to hold the area taut before marking the placement. You should have agreed on location beforehand, but now is the time to double-check that it’s marked in the correct spot. After that, your piercer will push a hollow needle through to create the hole before finally inserting the jewelry. Don’t worry if you experience slight bleeding, swelling, or redness immediately after the piercing—that’s completely normal and should subside quickly.

Belly Button Piercings

Placement: Belly button piercings are pierced through the skin surrounding the navel, with a traditional belly button piercing centered directly above it.

Pricing: $30-$75, plus cost of jewelry

Pain level: 4 or 5 out of 10

Healing time: Six to eight months, fully healed by 12 months

Aftercare: Wash the piercing two times a day with a sterile saline solution and pat dry with a paper towel. See more detailed instructions in the "Aftercare" section of this article.

Belly button piercings are possible on most body types, but you'll have to double-check with your piercer that your navel area can accommodate the placement you have in mind. "This piercing in all of its variants is very anatomy-specific," says Atlanta-based professional piercer Cozmo Faris. "There is a very high likelihood that you may not be suited for one or any of the versions. The required anatomy is completely based on the navel shape itself and has nothing to do with weight directly."

Even if a traditional belly button piercing isn't possible for you, there may be alternatives for you to try. "A floating navel is a way to make a navel piercing work on individuals who have either a more deep-set navel ridge or a smaller navel cavity that won't support a standard gem on the bottom," Faris explains. "By canting the jewelry inward towards the body on the bottom and using a flat disk on that bottom end rather than a gem or ball, the bottom portion of the jewelry can lay flat against the tissue, giving the appearance that the top gem is just 'floating' against the navel."

Cost of a Belly Button Piercing

The cost of your belly button piercing will vary depending on the studio you go to, your geographic location, your piercer’s experience, and how complicated your piercing is. On average, however, you can expect a belly button piercing to run between $30 and $75. Of course, this baseline price either includes a very basic jewelry option or none at all. In many cases, you'll have to also pay for the cost of the jewelry, which varies depending on the material and style. Of course, on top of this price, you'll want to be sure to tip your piercer for the service.

“In my studio, we usually charge 40 euros [or `~$40 USD] with a basic titanium internal threaded piercing ,” says Claudia Valentini , a Barcelona-based body piercer. “If the customer chooses another option, we charge [additionally for] the jewelry.”

The Best Jewelry Materials for Belly Button Piercings

  • Implant-Grade Stainless Steel: “[Implant-grade] stainless steel is usually the safest type of metal for a piercing due to its low irritant or allergic sensitizing potential,” says board-certified dermatologist Lauren Dozier, DO, FAAD.
  • Titanium: If you’d rather avoid the potential negative effects of surgical steel or if you know you’re allergic to nickel, medical-grade titanium is your best bet.
  • Gold: If you’re more of a gold person for the general aesthetic and look (and are sure you aren't allergic to the metal), it's another of the better options for your new piercing . Also, make sure it’s at least 14 karats, as anything less than that is too soft and unsafe for a healing body piercing.

Types of Jewelry Used for a Belly Button Piercing

When you first get a belly button piercing, your options will be limited to the styles your piercer recommends for optimal healing. "Typically, this piercing is done with a curved barbell," Faris says. "These barbells are banana-shaped and will have an ornament of some type on both ends, either balls or gem ends." Keep reading for more about this and other styles of belly button piercing jewelry.

Curved Barbell

The typical and most popular jewelry choice for belly button piercings is a curved barbell, which slightly curves outward to pop against your belly button and generally fits better with the natural shape of your body. This jewelry has a small bead on each end, with one of them being adjustable/removable to allow you to change out the jewelry if you want.

Twister Spiral

Curved in both directions, twister spiral jewelry is fun to wear and makes a statement. The design of this piercing is said to put less stress on the navel area.

Captive Bead

With this jewelry, size is everything. You'll most likely find 14- and 16-gauge offered for this style, which hugs the navel and lays outward, so the side of the ring is showing.

Reverse/Top-Down

Those who sport the reverse/top-down style of jewelry typically showcase the larger part of the jewelry above the navel and the smaller part inside it. Heavier design elements will be featured up top, however, the great thing about this style is that you can wear the jewelry however you like, hence the name.

If you're looking to show off your belly button piercing, dangle jewelry is the ultimate way to do it. Typically featuring a curved barbell, this style has a plethora of options and adornments like stones, jewels, or charms hanging off the end of the ring.

This smaller jewelry style is perfect for those who lead a more active lifestyle or don't want to show off their navel piercing all the time. Non-dangle jewelry hugs closer to the belly button and is usually seen as a drop, hinge, or curved barbell.

Pain and Healing Time

Although you may think a belly button piercing wouldn’t hurt that much due to being on your stomach, it will hurt slightly—just like any other piercing. Because the skin on your stomach is fleshy, it’s true that you can probably expect it to be less painful than some sort of cartilage piercing . However, a piercing is created by pulling a needle through the skin, so there is, of course, some pain involved.

“I would say [the pain is] around a four or five [out of 10] with my clients based on their feedback; I would rate my own at a four or so,” says Kristina Outland , a body piercer at Fiat Lux and Rose Gold in San Francisco. “It’s a super quick process, which makes it very manageable.”

A belly button piercing can take anywhere from six months to a year to fully heal , depending on how you care for it and your day-to-day lifestyle. However, the most common time frame is between six and eight months. "Timeframes will vary drastically based on body shape, activity level, and overall health," Faris explains. "Simply put, healthy people will heal faster, but piercings that are constantly moving during activities will heal slower. If I had to make a numerical estimate, I would say anywhere from six to 12 months."

"Generally, any tenderness and redness will be completely gone and the piercing channel will no longer be secreting or developing crusties," Faris tells us of how to determine if your piercing is fully healed. Regardless, it’s important to check with your piercer when you believe it’s healed before stopping aftercare—if it's still healing, the site could become infected if you let up too soon.

Following the correct aftercare during the healing process is super important, both because it will help the piercing heal properly and because not doing so could slow down the process.

To clean your new piercing, "the easiest method is a twice daily saturation with a sterile saline solution," Faris tells us. "When doing these saturations, you should ensure that any build up present is completely washed away. Sometimes, saturating a Q-tip in your solution and gently wiping any difficult 'crusties' away may be required."

Alexandra Moench, DNP, FNP-BC, a board-certified nurse practitioner at Schweiger Dermatology Group, suggests using non-woven gauze for the cleaning process, also advising that you "avoid using hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol, as these can cause irritation to healing skin." Always be sure to wash your hands before touching your piercing to avoid infection, and dry the area with a paper towel after cleaning, as a typical hand or bath towel could harbor bacteria.

During the healing process, Dozier suggests staying away from antibiotic ointment, as this can suffocate the piercing site and cause more problems. She also recommends wearing loose-fitting clothing and pants that have low-rise waistbands to ensure you don’t irritate the piercing site or cause further complications.

Don’t pick at the area, as it can cause further irritation or bleeding. It’s also important to avoid soaking your new belly button piercing in anything but a sterile saline solution until it’s healed—bodies of water both big and small like baths, the ocean, or a pool may harbor bacteria and cause infection. Because of this, consider the time of year you get your belly button piercing: Fall or winter may be ideal, since it allows the site to heal before waterside summer activities. Don't hesitate to ask your piercer for advice if your healing timeline and travel plans conflict or you have any other questions about aftercare.

Common Side Effects and Signs of Infection

When you get a belly button piercing, as with other piercings, a few side effects are normal to experience during the healing process, while others may be cause for concern if they signal infection. Below are a few of the most common:

  • Rash: The piercing site should maintain a normal appearance for the entire healing process, but a rash could pop up due to irritation of the jewelry or the skin around the piercing site. If at any point you notice a rash that wasn’t there before, seek medical help immediately.
  • Itching/Mild Discomfort: "During the healing process, you may experience some itching which is normal," Moench says. "Try not to scratch at the new healing skin."
  • Discharge: It’s completely normal for your piercing to leak some off-white fluid for the first few days. This is your body’s natural reaction to a purposeful wound and is meant to protect the area. If the discharge keeps happening, however, or the color changes to a murkier yellowish hue, that’s a sign that something could be wrong with your new piercing.
  • Signs of Infection: Infection is a common risk when getting a piercing, and can be caused by improper aftercare, an inexperienced piercer, or various other factors. "Signs of infection can include redness, swelling, oozing, or increased tenderness in and around the piercing," Moench tells us. "If you experience these symptoms, you should check in with a dermatologist."

How to Change Out a Belly Button Piercing

You can effectively change out a belly button piercing yourself, but you have to be completely sure your piercing is fully healed before doing so. As mentioned, while six to eight months is the typical healing period, it could take up to a year. Because of that, most piercers recommend waiting the full year-long period before switching it out, but if you can’t wait or otherwise are nervous about changing it for the first time, your best bet is to go back to your piercer.

"I suggest coming to the studio for the first change," Valentini says. "If that’s not possible, make sure that it’s the right time to change it, and [that you] have good quality jewelry to replace it."

According to Outland, the top of belly button piercing jewelry usually comes unscrewed, allowing for the jewelry to be slipped out and easily replaced in the same manner. Always wash your hands before touching the piercing in any way to avoid irritating it or transferring bacteria. "If you do need help or have questions, a reputable piercer is always willing to help you out," Outland adds.

The Final Takeaway

A belly button piercing can be a fun and versatile way to switch up your look, as long as it works for your anatomy and you're prepared for the process. By being diligent about aftercare, following your piercer's advice, and checking in with a pro if you encounter any signs for concern, you can help ensure a healthy, healed piercing that will make a statement for years to come.
