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, as well as 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.

pierced belly buttons just about everywhere. On T.V. in the movies, and on stage you can see dancers, singers,
and actors proudly wearing beautiful, sensuous navel jewelry. And just take a walk down the street in any city

Today, there
are no longer any pharaohs who would remove a person's head as penalty for wearing this alluring piece of body
jewelry. Belly button jewelry has come a long way since ancient times - from royal status symbol to a sexy
fashion accessory. As popularity of this jewelry continues to grow, it is probably safe to say that it is most
certainly here to stay.
