I had my navel pierced 2 times and both times the piercing surfaced. My friend (who is a kick ass piercer) suggested that I try a micro dermal implant for my navel. I would really like a navel piercing. Am I just destined to not have one or should I lose some weight first? Other plus sized women have navel rings. What should I do?

With Navel Piercings, the problem isn’t so much about you being “plus sized” or “skinny”,etc. The problem is if you’re simply an ideal candidate for a navel piercing. Any piercer worth their salt will analyze the navel area of each person looking to potentially get it pierced. They should be doing so by having the individual in the following positions: Sit, Stand, Lying down. If your navel area collapses, if there’s creasing occurring,etc then your navel piercing will be potentially open for complications afterwards.

Without having you here in the studio though, I unfortunately am unable to provide any further insight. However do know that even a Microdermal can be prone to complications as well, depending on how your navel is.

Perhaps you’re better suited for a larger gauge size piece of jewelry. Perhaps you need a slightly longer piece of jewelry then what you’ve had in? Perhaps you are better suited for a J-Bar not a Navel Bar? Perhaps you might even be better suited for a Microdermal?

But in order to assess the situation further its something that would have to be analyzed and troubleshooted in person, not over the internet.

Also just out of curiosity why did your “kick ass piercer friend” suggest a microdermal? Even with friends who are piercers, you need to ask WHY they think that would work over what hasn’t been working. Anyone can suggest something, but the main concern is if its backed by logical facts and reason, or not?
