In which case is navel piercing contraindicated?

In cases of protruding or scarred navels, this piercing may not be recommended.

You can also talk to your piercer as there is a style of repair piercing for certain cases of protruding or scarred navels that can be done, but it depends on the professionalism and experience of the piercer to be able to do it.

Work carried out by Piercer de Acme Tattoo Studio where we can see the before and after of a belly button with a vertical scar and another partially protruding one that does not give the "appropriate" shape for the piercing. Once the piercing is done we can see how the area is emblazoned with the piercing.

Beach, Pool and Sun.

In summer do not go with the piercing just done at least 10/15 days is very that the piercing does not have contact with the sand, however sea water usually goes well to healing, although after getting into the sea it would be important to wash it with saline solution so that the microbes of the sea do not infect our piercing.

For the swimming pool the process is similar, after a week or so, you can go into the pool, but then wash it with saline solution so that the microbes in the pool do not infect our piercing.

The first summer of your piercing if it is very new do not sunbathe without knowledge, you should not burn the area, as the skin is still healing and your piercing has yet to heal.
