💬 FAQs


🕒 Healing Time

Belly button piercings typically take 6 months or longer to fully heal.


🔞 Age Restrictions

You must be 16+ and bring valid, in-date photographic ID - originals only (Challenge 25 applies).


⚖️ Anatomy

Not all anatomies are suitable for belly button piercings. Your piercer will carry out an anatomy check on arrival to ensure the jewellery fits safely and comfortably. We’re working on expanding our jewellery range to accommodate more anatomies in the future. 


👕 Dress Code

Please wear a loose-fitting top and bottoms that sit below the navel (not high-waisted).

We’re unable to perform the service if you’re wearing a dress, jumpsuit, playsuit, or bodysuit, as the area needs to be easily accessible.


💧 Aftercare

Aftercare is similar to other piercings, with a few extra considerations:

  1. Avoid fake tan or moisturiser around the piercing area.

  2. Avoid tight or high-waisted clothing that could rub.

  3. Do not touch or twist the jewellery.

  4. A protective dressing can be provided by your piercer to keep the area covered until your next shower (please check for allergies).

  5. Example dressing: Rocialle Healthcare Non-Woven Adhesive Dressings


🔄 Downsizing

We currently do not offer downsizing for belly button piercings.

Once your piercing is fully healed, you can either keep your existing piece or purchase a new one with a smaller post.

Please note: only one of the balls unscrews, so a full replacement piece is required if you wish to change sizes.


💎Warranty

If your piercing falls out within 12 weeks, we will replace it in-store. If this happens, please contact Customer Care or the store to book an appointment.
