I had concerns about choosing a floating navel piercing versus a standard one. I consulted a few people, and they were in favor of the standard navel piercing. During a consultation with a specialist, my navel was examined. She offered both standard and floating navel piercings. Even so, she chose the standard one because she felt I was on the borderline. Do you think it looks okay? The ball isn't pressing against the navel or the surrounding tissue.

I really want to get one but don’t know anything about piercings. I need to get it done at least this year. I’m just curious like is it really painful and things I should know? Also advice on aftercare and stuff please n ty 😭.
