Thinking of getting a belly piercing?

Whether it's your first piercing or you're adding to your collection, this guide has everything you need to know—straight from Sabby's Tattoo Studio, one of Pune's most trusted names in body art.

What is Belly Piercing?

Belly piercing, also known as navel piercing, is a popular type of body piercing located around the belly button. It’s a timeless trend, loved for its aesthetic appeal and personal expression. Whether you're going for a minimalist stud or a more ornate piece, belly piercings let you show off your style with flair.

What to Expect During the Piercing Procedure

At Sabby’s, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our trained piercers follow hygienic, sterile techniques using single-use needles. The process takes just a few minutes but leaves a lasting impression. Here's what the procedure generally looks like:

Consultation: We'll discuss jewelry options and placement.
Preparation: The skin is cleaned and marked.
Piercing: A sterilized, single-use needle is used.
Jewelry Insertion: We insert your chosen jewelry.
Pain Level: Mild to moderate, depending on individual pain tolerance.
Time Taken: Approximately 5-10 minutes.
Jewelry Options: Surgical steel, titanium, or gold belly rings.

Aftercare Tips for Quick Healing

Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and ensure smooth healing.

Clean twice daily with saline solution.
Avoid touching with unwashed hands.
Wear loose clothing to avoid irritation.
Avoid swimming or submerging in water for at least 2 weeks.
Don’t change jewelry until fully healed (usually 6–12 weeks).

Common Concerns: Myth vs. Fact

"It’ll hurt a lot!" – The discomfort is brief, often compared to a pinch.
