| As with any type of body piercing,
there are potential risks when getting a belly ring. A navel ring piercing (if not properly cared for) can lead infection and
potentially serious blood poisoning. Failing to properly sterilize the
piercing equipment used, failing to clean and sterilize the wound (and the
jewelry used), and failing to use proper piercing techniques (which may
also cause some scarring and potential nerve damage) are all causes of
increased risk factors when getting your belly piercing. To minimize these risks, we recommend you
ONLY go to a body piercing studio that is certified and regulated by your
state's health department, and follow all proper care instructions for
your belly ring piercing.
