Pierced with a curved barbell with a disc on the bottom and a setting on the top. The angle is more into the navel, which is more suitable for some anatomies. With the disc hidden inside the navel, it will appear like the top is floating or a single point piercing.

HISTORY:

It has been said that the navel piercing dates back to ancient Egypt and was a symbol of royalty. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. The piercing seems to be a modern invention that, since the 1990s, has grown to be very popular, helping 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:

Aside from aesthetic purposes, the navel piercing has no other significant advantages or practical uses in situations where the anatomy doesn't allow for a more traditional navel piercing; a floating Navel piercing can be done. This is especially with cases where the navel collapses when a person sits, or the navel is very deep.

DISADVANTAGES AND CONCERNS:

Due to the location of the piercing, it is more prone to migration, becoming affected and/or infected. Due in large part to 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. You cannot sleep on your stomach. Additionally, precautions include cross-contamination prevention and avoiding swimming. The average healing time is 6 to 12 months.
