Body piercing, which originated about 5,300 years ago, was inherited from our ancestors and marked important phases of development or transition besides other meaningful concepts. In modern culture, body piercing, and navel piercing in particular, is perceived as embellishment. And everyone may have a different motivation for wearing such jewelry. It may be an act of rebellion, a desire to improve your body image, or a way to strengthen your sense of identity. By the way, belly piercing is the second most widely chosen type among women. Men also choose navel piercing to make a statement.
Like with more conventional piercings, you may own multiple belly rings to wear according to your mood, occasion, and style. Olertis Jewelry offers services for creating custom belly button rings so you can boast of an exclusive and top-quality piece.
Let’s explore some of the most common belly ring styles so you can get inspiration for your perfect personalized belly button ring.
A classic curved barbell is a slightly bent bar with a small ball or other delicate decorative element on one end that can be easily screwed on to keep the jewelry in place. The other end allows more customization options, including dangle or non-dangle parts. The dangle navel ring features a decorative element or charm hanging down from the ring’s main part. This element of custom body jewelry is usually made from precious metal or gemstone and may be of any shape you like. For example, custom name belly rings have gained extreme popularity in recent years.
A non-dangle belly ring consists of a fixed piece of jewelry that sits snugly against the belly button piercing without hanging down. It is a good choice for those who prefer minimalistic jewelry or need to avoid dangling pieces due to certain activities or clothes.
A true spotlight-stealer, the twisted spiral belly ring, is a twisted barbell that is secured with a screw-on ball or other design element. This type of ring may be of various lengths and typically features balls on both ends, but other motifs, like flowers, snowflakes, and spikes, are also possible.
Typically, a custom navel ring is placed on the upper rim of the navel, where the skin is thinnest, and there is enough space for the jewelry to sit comfortably. However, a bottom navel piercing is also a safe and convenient option. For an eye-catching and rebellious look, some people prefer double navel piercing, when their upper and bottom rims are pierced. Contrary to popular belief, navel piercing offers a wide range of possibilities. It can be done at different sites of the abdomen and with multiple variants of ring designs. The most essential aspect, however, is that it allows individuals to feel attractive and satisfied with their body image, empowering them to self-expression.
