Not only are belly button rings getting more popular, but they’re getting more originative as well. Gone are the days where all you could find was the standard, traditionalisti non-dangling banana barbell with two acrylic balls. No more!
Navel rings are available with a assortment of barbells and decorations. The most common, and least expensive, are still the non-dangling, but that doesn’t mean they’re boring. You may buy ones with a potpourri of gems and jewels, colors and shapes, and even licensed logos and brands like professional sports teams and Playboy.
The dangling belly rings are getting more creative, too. They’re not just a little jewel hanging two links down from the barbell anymore. You may get dangling chains, gems, jewels, metal shapes and more. You may find rings that include a long chain that wraps around your waste or even connects to other piercings. The dangling percentage may be less than a quarter of an inch long all the way up to one and a half inches long or more.
If you want to upgrade from the established non-dangling barbell, but aren’t mesmerized in the long dangles, there are still choices available to meet your needs. Recently, the “reverse belly button ring” has become an astonishingly usual style. This style of navel ring enters the belly button in the same way, but rather of a ornamental piece hanging down from the bottom portion of the barbell, it extends from the top. It will distinctively be stationary, rather than free-moving, but this is a originative way to exaggerate your navel ring style.
Another way to express your artistic style is to wear a “spiral belly button ring.” These belly rings are non-dangling as well, but provide a clever way to add flair: they twist! The design features a 14 GA or 16 GA barbell that spirals, rather than curves. It appears to be like a division of a spring, but it doesn’t exaggerate and contract. They normally have two balls on the end in ornamental colors and occasionally the entire ring is made from titanium, which comes in a potpourri of colors.
In an effort to meet the needs of each navel ring wearer, manufacturers have even begun making particularly designed “pregnancy belly button rings.” These rings are made from a plastic, or BioFlex, material rather than the general metal barbell. Often, they are made in extra long lengths that may be cut to the desired size once a client purchases it. Pregnancy belly rings feature two titanium or acrylic balls that screw on to the self-threading plastic barbell, which allows the wearer to determine and alter the length. These specially devised navel rings are perfective for expectant mothers because they act as an beautiful retainer for the deafening hole, but won’t stretch, tear or irritate the navel the way metal ones can.
Don’t get trapped by the notion that you have only two selections of belly button rings (non-dangling and dangling). For each style of navel ring wearer, there is a style of a navel ring. You may choose from spiral, reverse, dangling and even pregnancy body jewelry to meet your originative and ever-changing needs.
