💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Under no circumstances should you take off your jewelry during the healing process of 6-8 months because doing so increases the risk of losing the piercing, and putting it back is not the solution.
  • Jewelry should never be changed, replaced, or altered while the body is recovering. We recognize that anyone can quickly become tired of their jewels, but doing so while the piercing is healing, which takes 6 to 8 months, is very terrible and can quickly make the healing process more difficult...
  • Best thing that you can do for your piercing is DO NOT TOUCH IT.
  • The first jewelry change should be performed by a qualified piercer, You can only do this when the piercing has fully healed.
  • Keep in mind that stress, bad diet, drug addiction, or illness might lead to a prolonged recovery period or other challenges.

⚠️ What to Avoid

  • The most important rule is to never touch a piercing. Every time you touch your piercing, you get one step closer to developing an infection, which is a very dangerous thing
  • For up to 45 days, stay away from lakes, pools, and the sea because contaminated water can quickly infect piercings.
  • While your piercing is healing, avoid rotating it. They won't be stuck, I promise you.
  • Steer clear of any lotions, including those for skin care and makeup. even the moisturizers that are close to your piercing. The healing process can quickly become complicated if something gets stuck in your piercing or on your jewelry.
  • Do not clean with alcohol, peroxide or cotton buds.
  • Throughout the healing process, do not take off or change your jewelry. Only remove if you do not want the piercing anymore.
  • Do not use tea tree oil and any other products that your friends or social media have recommended.

A floating belly piercing is a corrective and preventive technique, not just a style choice.

SCRUBS, HAMAMS, AND MORACCAN BATHS IF YOU ARE READY TO RISK YOUR BELLY PIERCING.

"Why We Suggested a Floating Belly Piercing (IMPORTANT)"

  • This piercing type is not chosen randomly — it is specifically recommended based on your body anatomy.
  • Your navel collapses or folds when sitting

Traditional belly jewelry (top + bottom ball) creates pressure inside the navel

This leads to irritation, bumps, and rejection

  • Limited depth or shallow navel structure

A standard curved barbell may not sit correctly

I ncreased risk of migration or rejection

  • Flat or outward navel shape

Not enough natural “lip” to support traditional jewelry

Floating style reduces stress on the tissue

  • High movement / friction area

C lothing, bending, and sitting constantly press the jewelry

Fl oating jewelry minimizes internal pressure.
