Many women turn to belly button rings as a form of expression or simply to show off a nice body. If you are considering getting your belly pierced, there is a lot you should know. Even if you have made up your mind are going to move forward with it, doing as much research ahead of time and being as prepared as possible will help eliminate the piercing day jitters. You might know someone who has had the procedure done before and while talking to them might be a good way to get an idea of what will happen, keep in mind everyone's experience is different. One person might experience a great deal of pain while another may have only a little discomfort.
How much pain you end up experiencing throughout the healing process has a great deal to do with how well you take care of the piercing. If you take good care of it and clean it twice a day, chances are you avoid getting a painful infection. You will also want to invest in higher quality belly button rings to ensure that your body does not reject or become irritated by the metals used. It's best to avoid nickel as that is one seems to cause the most irritation among people. Many products will even be labeled as nickel free to help you identify which are safe to use.
The best way to be comfortable before you get the procedure done is to visit the piercing location. Don't be afraid to ask your piercing professional questions, no matter how dumb or trivial you may think them to be. Ask them if they have a favorite brand or place to shop for belly button rings to ensure you find a decent quality that won't cause problems later on.
