Belly Button Rings

Images from rock band Aerosmith's video 'crying' where a young and gorgeous Alicia Silverstone gets her navel pierced saw a sudden influx of customers in piercing parlors. Unfortunately, Alicia's career didn't last as long as the trend. The navel is one of the most sensuous part of a woman's body and a woman adorning jewelry on her belly looks even more enticing. Middle eastern belly dancers wearing dangling belly button rings that seem to sway to the rhythm of the music the dancer is moving to, have held the gaze of all the onlookers since ages.

From super models like Cristy Turlington to the girl next door, all girls look ravishing when wearing a short top exposing the midriff with a diamond studded belly button ring. Unlike body piercings like the brow ring or the stud in the tongue, navel piercing can easily be camouflaged with clothes and this quality has also contributed to its popularity. It is also important to get some facts about belly button piercing aftercare, before getting your navel pierced for belly button rings. I once saw a guy wearing a belly ring and I probably will have to go to a therapist to get the image out of my head. Some things only look good on girls.

If you are thinking about getting your navel pierced, just stand in front of the mirror and hold a ring next to your belly and see if you can carry this new look. Once you are sure that you want to have your belly pierced, do it from a parlor which has a good reputation. Don't try to save some moolah by visiting a shady place. If you get your piercing done from a place which doesn't care about hygiene you might end up getting a belly button ring infection.

One of the most important tips for cleaning belly button piercing is to keep the area clean, use cotton swabs to apply anti bacterial solutions. Another important thing is to choose a ring that complements your skin tone and your personality. It's more likely that you will wear the ring you choose the first time for a long time, so be careful with your selection.

Designs

If you choose a belly ring that accentuates your midriff, it will turn a few heads and will add to your enigma. Get as much information about the different designs that are available in the market before you make up your mind. A dangling ring with a pink colored butterfly or pink rose are some of the most beautiful belly button rings for pregnant women.

A navel piercing with a peace symbol and a short hippie top with low-cut jeans can make a girl look enrapturing. You could also have a ring which has a dragonfly with its tail studded with little blue luminescent stones. Prefer a Gothic look, then wear a tight short black t-shirt exposing your belly adorned with a blood-red cross and a long flowing black skirt. You can also order them off the Internet with your initials or your lovers.

Nowadays, you also get rings with tribal designs that really look cool and are popular with teenage girls. The chandelier belly ring design is also popular because of its intricate structure. Rings with animal designs like scorpion, wolf, dragon, snake, etc. are also something that you could try. The cost isn't much, so spend a few extra dollars and get a good ring.

Some stores have categorized their rings as top mounted and bottom mounted rings, based on the part of the belly you have pierced. Personally I believe, the bottom mounted rings look particularly nice as they trickle down accenting the lower body.

Belly button rings are the newest forms of must have accessories for girls and if you planning to get one, don't wait. If you are scared of the belly button piercing pain you could get a fake belly button ring because they look as good as the real stuff. One last word of caution, just be careful if you have skin which is prone to allergic reactions and rash when it comes in contact with foreign particles.
