  Navel piercing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navel piercing is a type of body piercing, far more common among women than men, where the skin surrounding the navel is pierced and jewelry is inserted.
Healing of this piercing can also be complicated by irritation and damage caused by clothing, especially waistlines or tight clothing, or the position of the navel relative to the bend of the waist.
Because many navel piercings are performed and healed semi-clandestinely, piercing studios, doctors and emergency rooms often have to deal with the results of improperly performed, poorly healed navel piercings.

Navel piercings are the most difficult and lengthy to heal properly.Even with perfect aftercare,a few navel piercings never heal satisfactorily, or they "grow out"(natural replacement of skin pushes the jewelry to the surface,rather than accepting it as a part of the body).

Navel piercings should be placed where there is the least pressure to the surrounding tissue(rolls",especially if you sit a lot.
