A '''navel piercing''' is a type of piercing located in or around the navel. It may heal quickly and with no problems, like an ear piercing or may heal more like a surface piercing with the associated extended healing time. Healing usually takes less than six months, and as long as it is cleaned, it will heal nicely. Unlike most body piercings, this is one of the few that do not normally reject, although the rejection rate is higher than non-surface piercings, such as ear piercings. | A '''navel piercing''' is a type of piercing located in or around the navel.
