Hi!

I’d like to ask a quick question: generally which piercing is easier to heal: a standard or an inverse navel?

My standard one is 3 months old and its still healing but I guess its normal.

Asking about what piercing has a better healing time, is like asking how long is a piece of string?

Its all subjective to each persons individual body type,etc. Some people are suitable only for the standard navel piercing, while others can be only suitable for an inverse and some people just aren’t suitable for either.

Now if we’re going to just throw it out there and hypothetically view a navel as being suitable for both a standard and inverse navel, again its really just up to the persons body on how it wants to heal. So long as the proper jewelry quality/type is used and the client follows proper aftercare protocols, its all left up for the body to determine how long its going to take to heal.

A still healing 3 month old standard navel is pretty common as sometimes it can even take upwards to 6 months or longer for some people. I normally suggest clients to not change their jewelry for at least around the 4-6 month period and even then when changing it, to make sure they change it to a autoclaveable/sterilized piece of jewelry.
