A navel piercing, also referred to as a belly button piercing, is a type of body piercing that penetrates the skin of the navel. It is most commonly located on the upper fold of skin but can also be placed underneath or around the edges of the navel. Healing usually takes around 6–12 months but can vary from person-to-person due to differences in physiology.
