I’ve got a friend, Rachel [another Rachel, not the one previously mentioned] who lives about fifty miles south of me. Needless to say, I don’t get to see her that much [hopefully that shall change now that we're done with school and all] but we correspond over–go figure–the internets.
Since she’s turned eighteen, she’s run out and gotten all these piercings, and a tattoo, with plans for more… I think she rushed into some of these, and I wasn’t entirely wrong; she got a Monroe [small stud through the skin above the lip and below the nose, offset a little, which supposedly emulates Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark] and hastily got rid of it, deciding it was, “stupid.”
She hops online yesterday and bombards me with excited messages that she underwent the needle again. “I got my bellybutton pierced,” she expostulates. I commented that I was surprised she didn’t have it done prior.
“Oh, but it isn’t normal,” she confides.”
“What’s different, then?”
“It isn’t just one.”
“…what?”
“Yeah, I got it pierced four times.”
“Did they mess up or something?”
“No, I got a hole in the top, bottom, and in each side.”
“…that’s bizarre, I’ve never seen that.”
“Me either, that’s why I got it done!”
So Rach then sends me a picture, thusly:
In the top is a normal, navel-style jewelled, likely surgical steel, curved barbell [14g] and in the bottom and sides are just plain surgical steel curved–albeit shorter–barbells, also 14 gauge.
…WTFZOMG I LOVE IT.
My mom saw and she’s pretty grossed out by it [I said I'd like to have that done...xD] and phixious doesn’t like it; aw.
Regardless, I’m considering it, just for the hell of it. After all, I enjoyed–oddly–getting my first one done, so hey, why not? Fortunately I’d only have to get three of the four at once and..yeah. However, cleaning it would likely be a bitch, and I’d be intensely terrified of them snagging on each other..

I think it looks awesome, but I’d be freaked out about the cleanliness of it (or any belly piercing)
That, and I seem to be allergic to earrings and the steel backings of watches, which tend to be pretty clean and dry. So a belly piercing would probably be even worse.
The cleanliness? They aren’t hard to keep clean. o_O;
Oh! I know what you’re allergic to! +Feels smart.+ You’re allergic to the nickel in them! Nickel allergies are really common, especially in those forms. As far as earrings, you could try titanium-backed stuff, titanium tends to not be allergy-inducing. But yeah, typical “surgical steel” would be avoidable in piercing-somethings because there’s usually an alloy of steel, nickel, and other stuff like molybdenum. :x
It reminds me of that metal thing that picks up toys out of a toy vending machine. What is that called? O.O
Beware men, it will eat you alive! Mwahaha! I think that is what Jer bear (funny nickname xD) is worried about.
Tis okay, me thinks. I think the one piercing you have now looks superb! ^^
For some reason it reminds of something out of Stargate.
Not my cup of tea. Maybe because I don’t drink tea.
Om nom nom nom!
Now that you mention Stargate…I agree. How weird. xD
I don’t think I’d get it, though. The snagging would terrify me.
I’m in the market for new rings, though, there’s a UK-based site that does free int’l shipping if you spend over £10..w00t. I should make a post on that, but not until I get my work done.
Where, Where, Wherrrre Did You Get That Ring?! I Just Got Mine Done Like A Month Ago And I Realllly Want One Of Those.
Well…as the article reads, that is not my navel or my ring. That midsection belongs to a friend. The ring is actually four rings, not one.
As posted, “In the top is a normal, navel-style jewelled, likely surgical steel, curved barbell [14g] and in the bottom and sides are just plain surgical steel curved–albeit shorter–barbells, also 14 gauge.”
So it is 4 barbells. :]
Update: It ended up not really working out for her; the two horizontal ones on the sides ended up rejecting, and she decided against the lower piece, so she just has a regular navel piercing now, like I do.
Where did she buy.. the barbel that connects it all into one? I’ve been looking all over for one like that!
Like the post and the comments read, it isn’t one that connects to all of them.
My friend there is wearing a normal, jeweled navel barbell in the top “normal” hole. She then had the bottom and sides pierced and used plain barbells in those. The piercer arranged them in such a way that the “plain” ones sit being behind.
Unfortunately, the sides and bottom have since rejected. It definitely looked neat while they lasted!

Allergic Conjunctivitis – Conjunctivitis is an eye condition that’s triggered by various airborne allergens and irritants. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis is normally linked to attacks of hay fever. A person who normally may wear contact lenses is recommended to wear eyeglasses during these times. Contact lenses will only compound the problem and might potentially cause an eye infection. Red and itchy eyes and eyelids, swollen eyelids, consistent sneezing and a runny nose characterize allergic conjunctivitis. This condition can be treated by way of the use of lubricating eye drops and over-the-counter antihistamines. Aspirin and ibuprofen can assist in reducing eyelid swelling and a cold compress over the eyelids can bring substantial relief.
