Pain is subjective. Yes you will feel a pinch just like any other piercing. Navel piercings are commonly rated at 2/10.

A floating navel piercing uses flatter jewelry on the bottom instead of a large bead or gem. It is commonly recommended for anatomy that collapses or folds when sitting.

No. This has nothing to do with weight, and EVERYTHING to do with your anatomy of your belly button. We always start with an anatomy check before all piercings. We will have you stand and sit while watching to see how your navel moves. We will then determine which piercing is appropriate for your anatomy and you can make your decision based on that information.

Irritation can happen from tight clothing, sleeping on it, touching it, moisture buildup, snagging, or wearing incorrect jewelry for your anatomy.

It’s best to avoid pools, lakes, hot tubs, and oceans during early healing because bacteria and chemicals can increase irritation and infection risk.
