The side navel piercing is considered a more specialized form of belly button piercing and is a real eye-catcher. It is inserted - usually on both sides - into the lateral 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.
