The belly button piercing is one of the most popular piercings, especially among women. It is inserted into the lower skin fold of the belly button.
Decorating the belly button has a rich history. In the past, the belly button was richly decorated in many cultures, but with paintings rather than piercings.
A pierced navel, on the other hand, was not captured in a photograph until relatively late in the 1970s. Later in the 1980s, the Gauntlet Piercing Magazine PFIQ (Piercing Fan International Quarterly) dedicated a series to navel piercings for the first time and thus officially introduced them to the specialist public.
The belly button piercing gained great popularity a little later when it was seen on various models and pop stars, for example in the music video (Cryin') by the rock band Aerosmith.
