HISTORY:

It has been said that the navel piercing dates back to the time of ancient Egypt and was a sign of royalty. However, there is no proof that this is the case. The piercing seems to be a modern invention that since the 1990s has grown to be very popular and helped to bring Body Piercing out of the Underground and into popular culture. Except for the ear lobe, it is the most common piercing today. 

ADVANTAGES:

Other than adornment the navel piercing really has no other advantage or use.

DISADVANTAGES AND CONCERNS:

Due to the location of the piercing, it is more prone to migration, becoming affected and/or infected. Due to a large part because of clothing that is in contact with the piercing.

MAIN HASSLES & HEALING TIME:

The piercing must be cleaned twice daily, clothing must have a waistband that is well below the navel, can not sleep on your stomach, cross-contamination prevention, and no swimming. The average healing time is 6-12 months.
