Tribal Expression in Calgary has been a trusted name in the body piercing industry for over 19 years. Among their many specialties, navel piercing is a popular choice for people of all ages and genders. However, it is important to note that not everyone may be a good candidate for this type of piercing due to individual anatomy.
To ensure a successful and safe navel piercing, it is recommended to consult with a piercer beforehand. During the consultation, the piercer will assess your anatomy and discuss any potential risks or concerns. If you are not a good candidate for a navel piercing, they may recommend alternative options.
During the piercing procedure, the area is cleaned and marked while the client stands to ensure proper placement. After marking is completed, the client is allowed to lay down and get comfortable for the actual piercing. The tissue is then clamped or held in place using a receiving tube, and the piercing is completed with a needle on one of the client’s deep breathing exhales.
In the past, navel piercings were typically done with hoops, but now the industry standard is a curved barbell that comes in a variety of materials and designs.
To ensure proper healing, it is important to wear loose and comfortable clothing to your piercing appointment. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes, especially high-waisted pants. If you are an active person, be mindful of your workouts and switch up your routine if necessary to avoid irritating the piercing. With proper care and attention, a navel piercing can heal within several weeks to a few months.
