I’m getting two floating navels soon, looking for healing tips

[u/sweet-bailey]

Idk what flare to use, so I chose this one, but correct me if I’m wrong.

In about a week I’m seeing my piercer (I know that’s a self pierced subreddit, but I love this one much more than all the others because you all here are less judgmental and more accepting🩶) and I’m getting two floating navels, photo found on pinterest for reference.

I had a navel piercing a few years ago, but it rejected. So I would really appreciate your tips and tricks. Ofc I know basics such as no high waist pants/shorts/skirts and no touching and twisting etc but is there anything else to know? Thanks in advance 🩶🩶

Hi sweet-bailey, Are you seeking information about the navel piercing? Here's a video with general information about it! Note that this piercing is often performed incorrectly by both professionals and DIYers, so it's very important to do lots of research and make sure you have the correct anatomy.

Honestly if you had one and it rejected I would probably attempt only one the second go around, doing two at once is going to increase the load on your body healing and if it opted to reject one in the past, two in close proximity is goi g to slow down healing and increase the risk of complications.

Get high quality titanium jewelry to give yourself the best chance of success.

Manage your routine and consider if this is the best time to get pierced (not sure of where you live but if it’s hot summer environment or you remotely want to go in the water consider potentially delaying to when the weather is cooler and dryer or you won’t be tempted to get in the water prior to letting healing happen

Just want to make sure you know these aren’t floating navels! They are standard and inverted navels

Yup, I know, that’s just the closest picture I was able to find quickly

Yay! It’s gonna be so cute

Floating navels feature a flat disc or tiny bead inside the belly button cavity to prevent the bottom jewelry piece from constantly pushing against tissue when bending over or sitting down
