The Ultimate Guide to Belly Bar Piercings: Everything You Need to Know

Belly bar piercings have been a staple in body jewellery fashion for decades, offering a stylish and versatile way to accessorise. Whether you’re considering getting a belly button piercing or you already have one and are looking for the best jewellery, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What Is a Belly Bar Piercing?

A belly bar piercing, commonly referred to as a navel piercing, is a piercing that goes through the skin above the navel, allowing for a curved barbell to sit comfortably within the piercing. This popular body modification is worn by millions worldwide and is a key fashion statement in body jewellery.

Choosing the Right Belly Bar Jewellery

Selecting the right jewellery is crucial for comfort and style. Here’s what to consider:

Materials

• Titanium – Hypoallergenic, premium and perfect for sensitive skin.

• Gold (14k or higher) – A luxurious option, but ensure it’s nickel-free.

Styles

• Classic curved barbells – The standard choice for belly piercings.

• Dangle belly bars – Elegant and stylish, ideal for special occasions.

• Reverse belly bars – A unique style where the decorative element sits on top of the navel.

• Glow-in-the-dark or gemstone belly bars – Perfect for adding some personality!

How to Change Your Belly Bar Safely

Once your piercing is fully healed, you can change your belly bar with ease. Follow these steps:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent bacteria transfer.

2. Use a saline solution to clean the jewellery and the piercing.

3. Unscrew the top ball and carefully remove the existing jewellery.

4. Insert the new belly bar slowly and secure the top ball tightly.

5. Monitor for irritation to ensure a smooth transition.

Common Belly Piercing Issues & How to Avoid Them

Even with proper care, some issues can arise. Here’s how to handle them:

• Infection – Redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate an infection. Clean with saline and avoid excessive movement.

• Rejection & Migration – If your body pushes the jewellery out, switch to a high-quality titanium belly bar.

• Keloids & Bumps – Apply chamomile tea compresses and avoid irritating the area.
