Platinum Tattoos & PiercingsReal clients, real results from our San Antonio piercing studio.
Your piercer will assess your navel anatomy. Not every belly button is pierceable — an "outie" or certain anatomical shapes won't hold a navel piercing long-term. We tell you honestly before anything happens.
If you're a good candidate, the piercing takes about 10 seconds. Initial jewelry is a curved barbell in implant-grade titanium. Navel piercings take 6–12 months to fully heal — they're surface piercings and heal from the outside in.
The most important aftercare rule: don't catch it on clothing. High-waisted jeans and waistbands are the enemy of a healing navel piercing. Loose, breathable clothing helps enormously.
Here's what makes Platinum Tattoos & Piercings the right choice for your navel piercing in San Antonio.
