My good friend Karen wanted to try belly button rings.   I do not think I have the guts to try it as well.  I am sure I will see some girls in Boracay in their two piece suits who have actually tried having belly button piercing.  I checked out piercing.com which offers a variety of products for any kind of piercing including belly button, ear piercing and to any other body parts.  Yes, some even try it to the most private part! There is also what they call as the Captive Bead Ring which is one of the most popular kinds of body jewelry because it can be used in so many ways.  Some people are actually buying the captive rings instead to use as lip piercing jewelry, eyebrow piercing jewelry or nose piercing jewelry.   But Karen wants a belly button ring.   According to the site, having a belly button ring is just plain sexy.  Both men and women are actually trying it.  It is a modern invention and has never been done before.  In the US, it is becoming the most popular kind of piercing.    In the site, they offer not only the service of piercing but even the studs to use.  Honestly, the studs especially the ones for the ears are pretty.  Some even come in different colors.  You can even choose your birth stone in a sterling silver.  My kids have that actually.  In the site, the ear studs are available for as low as $4.99.  That is actually a good steal.   You will even be suprised that they sell tools and supplies for your do-it-yourself piercing.  You can buy a set of the individual tools.  But I don’t actually suggest it to Karen.  I told her to just go to a qualified personnel who can do what she wants for her belly rings.  Safety is important.
