What do belly button rings mean?
Table of Contents
Body piercings can also convey sexuality. A belly button piercing was originally meant to signify sexual attraction, or to draw sexual advances to the woman wearing it. These days, most girls just like them because they are cute, but when women first started piercing their belly buttons, it was for a sign of sexuality!
Most belly button rings should be inserted from the top of the piercing. This is the easiest way to do it and it will make it less likely that something goes wrong and you develop an infection. On the contrary, be aware that some jewelry is designed to go in from the bottom.
What ring do you get your belly button pierced with?
