What is a belly button ring?
To understand it better, it would be useful to learn more about human anatomy. Belly button ring is an adorning decoration for the navel, typically in a curved barbell or circular shape. Metals for belly button rings include surgical steel, solid 14k gold, silver, niobium, or titanium. Gold or silver plated metals may break easily or cause irritation to your belly button, so it is good to know the risks involved in getting a belly button pierced. These risks include painful and potentially serious infections of the abdomen and blood poisoning, since we all know that improperly sterilized equipment can spread infections. An amateur body piercer can also cause nerve damage or scarring, but infection can still occur even when properly sterilized equipment is used. An infected piercing hurts, looks red and swollen, can weep, and may feel hot to the touch, so if your piercing looks infected, see a medical professional or body piercer for treatment.
