Belly Button Rings Are Becoming So Much More Creative.
Not only are belly button rings becoming more popular, but they’re becoming more creative as well. Gone are the days where all you could find was the standard, traditional non-dangling banana barbell with two acrylic balls. No more!
You can find navel rings with a wide selection of barbell styles and decorative accents. As to be expected, the most common (and cheapest) navel rings are now and always will be the traditional non-dangling style. But just because they’re traditional doesn’t mean they’re not fun. You can purchase a navel ring with a variety of gems and jewels, colors and shapes, and even licensed logos and brands like professional sports teams and Playboy.
Navel rings that dangle are expanding into more creative designs as well. They’re not just a little jewel hanging two links down from the barbell anymore. There are chains and gems and jewels and each comes with a creative selection of designs. You can find belly button rings that include a long chain that wraps around your waste or even connects to other piercings. There is a variety of size as well, ranging from as little as 1/4 inch to 1 and 1/2 inches.
If you want to upgrade from the traditional non-dangling barbell, but aren’t interested in the long dangles, there are still options available to meet your needs. Recently, the “reverse belly button ring” has become an astonishingly popular style. This style of navel ring enters the belly button in the same way, but instead of a decorative piece hanging down from the bottom part of the barbell, it extends from the top. It will typically be stationary, rather than free-moving, but this is a creative way to expand your navel ring style.
You could also look for a “spiral navel ring” if you want something a little more daring. These belly rings are non-dangling as well, but provide a clever way to add flair: they twist! The design features a 14 GA or 16 GA barbell that spirals, rather than curves. It appears to be like a section of a spring, but it doesn’t expand and contract. They usually have two balls on the end in decorative colors and sometimes the entire ring is made from titanium, which comes in a variety of colors.
Never again should you feel like you can only choose from two styles of navel rings. No matter what your style and taste dictates, you can easily find a belly button rings that’s right for you.
