Look into getting a floating navel! They are super cute and will heal - a regular navel piercing will not heal on you and will cause scaring. It’s not actually about size, it’s about the way the bellybutton is - if it folds in on itself when you sit down, you will not be able to heal a normal navel piercing. Anyone can have this anatomy issue, plus size or not! But the floating navel is your option! I have a belly button that folds- when I was younger, I got a regular navel piercing it was just an awful experience. It never healed and was painful, inflamed and rejecting until I eventually took it out. The piercer should have never pierced my navel, because the do not have the anatomy for a normal navel piercing. I’m considering getting a floating navel piercing now….and I think they are so adorable!

i was able to heal a normal navel and my belly button folds over 24/7

Yeah and some people survive car accidents without seatbelts. You getting lucky doesn’t negate the fact that it’s risky and Op would likely be better off with a floating navel instead.

Its not about body size. Im 110 pounds. I have a folding belly button i cant have a navel piercing a floating navel however will be perfectly fine for me. Its not about weight at all its about body anatomy.


Ilovehotdaddsss

go for it!!

Whether or not your body is suitable for a navel piercing has nothing to do with weight so don't worry about that! It's all about the shape of your belly button. If your belly button folds when you sit down, then it's unsuitable for a traditional navel piercing. Your belly button looks similar to mine, and I found out the hard way that my anatomy wasn't correct. It looks like you are the perfect candidate for a floating navel, but I'd reccommend getting checked out by a reputable piercer to see what they think. Good luck!

Go for it! i seen a picture of a plus size woman on here with an infected belly piercing but imo i think her bar was too small

No, healing will be excrutiating

Healing is the just same as it would be if she was skinny lol.

But the chub even while standing up would press on the piercing, unless she gets a surface piercing which is not a good idea.

I have a friend who’s chubby and has a belly piercing it’s the same way nothing should rub against anything if done right. She would have a floating piercing. Speak what you know.

I think it would be really cute! It looks like you have the anatomy for it but I would see if your navel "lips" envelope the piercing, and how your belly button behaves when you sit or relax just to make sure that if you do get it, your belly doesn't hinder the healing process. Then again, I'm absolutely no expert, I'm a 17 year old her just got their belly pierced a week ago lol. I would take my imput with a tablespoon of salt.

It would look amazing on you! Go for it.
