Belly Button Jewelry - A Little Background

In ancient times, belly button piercings were more for ritual and ceremonial use than for fashion statement.

In fact, for many ancient cultures, piercing of the navel and other body parts were strictly prohibited. For instance, body piercings were fairly common in ancient Egypt, but the pharaohs reserved specific types of piercings for royalty. Only members of the royal family could ever wear a belly ring under any circumstances. Should a "commoner" be found with a pierced belly button, the prescribed penalty was death. No tolerance for fashion statement here!

Warriors in ancient Central and South American civilizations often pierced their noses to appear more frightening and intimidating to their enemies. On the flip side, where nose piercing represented aggressiveness, other body piercing such as lip piercings were done to enhance attractiveness, especially among women of that era.

In recent times there has been a resurgence in navel piercings, and piercing of other body parts.

Currently, belly button piercing appears to be most popular among youth and younger adults. Many people see the adornment of belly button jewelry as a sexy fashion statement that is also attractive and an indispensable part of ones wardrobe.

You can see pierced belly buttons just about everywhere you go these days!
