Hi there, Just like with any type of body piercing, there are potential risks when getting a belly ring. A
navel ring
piercing can lead to infection if not properly cared for and potentially serious blood poisoning. It may also cause some scarring and potential nerve damage. Failing to properly sterilize the piercing equipment used, failing to clean and sterilize the wound , and failing to use proper piercing techniques are all causes of increased risk factors when getting your belly piercing.
