Belly rings are really in style among teenagers these days. You may be wondering if you should allow your teen to follow suit and get their own belly piercing. There are a lot of things you are probably wondering, including what the risks are and whether or not doing so is permanent. You should also get an idea of the cost of the procedure and how much the jewelry will cost once it's done.
For the most part, the process of getting the piercing is fairly safe. Be sure to do your research and find a good piercing professional. You should find a location that appears clean and sterile. The piercing professional should be forthcoming about the risks and be willing to answer questions. If you are on the fence about allowing your teen get the process done, this is a good starting place for you to be comfortable. Don't be afraid to call or visit ahead of time to get your questions answered and see the shop. It's good to know everything before your teen begins wearing belly rings.
While getting a belly piercing is a relatively safe process, there are still risks of getting an infection. The risk of infection can be dramatically reduced by doing a good job taking care of the piercing. This means washing the area with antibacterial soap at least twice a day. In the weeks following the procedure, your teen should be careful during exercise or other strenuous activities. They will also want to avoid wearing tight clothing that could cause irritation with belly rings. Once things heal up, the risks of infection and irritation will be fewer. Your teen will want to be sure to select high quality jewelry to ensure the metals do not cause a bad reaction. While they may cost more, they are well worth their extra expense.
