| This question is one of the most often
asked by those new to body piercings. Due to the differences between each
individual, belly piercing healing times can vary widely, and can take as little as 4-6
months, up to 18 months (any linger than that, and your body may not be
able to tolerate body piercing -see your doctor). Some of the things that can hamper your
body efforts to heal your belly ring piercing properly include exposing it
to poorly chlorinated water (which is why we advise our customer's with
new belly piercings to stay out of the pool until fully healed!), tight
fitting clothing that irritates the piercing, and any other factor that
can serve to compromise your body's natural ability to heal (including
poor diet, stress, illness, and lack of proper piercing after care).
The best way to speed healing of your belly
ring piercing is to utilize proper
belly piercing aftercare.
