The belly button piercing is the way many young people tend to throw some caution to the wind and express a little daring. It's a relatively inexpensive introduction into body art and modification, is certainly an attention-getter, and for those who have some very well-toned physiques, it can be the veritable "cherry on top" when it comes to looking pretty hot. But for as much as one can speak of the cute, chic, and sexy nature of belly button piercings, few will ever bring up the importance of after care.

Rest assured that without proper after care, your cute piercing will not be very cute at all.

What most people fail to realize is that whenever you get a piercing or a tattoo, you are actually causing a level of trauma to the body. You've created a wound that needs to be attended to and that needs to heal so that you can avoid issues down the line. We've all had bumps, bruises, and scrapes as kids growing up. You went home, and your parents cleaned off the blood, sanitized the area, and you were told to keep the area clean & not touch it. The same, in essence, applies to a piercing.

All too often, we're too excited to get the piercing and show it off because it's going to be a symbol of coolness of sexiness. We're too concerned with the here and now that we don't prepare for the fact that you don't just jump off of a piercer's table and are ready to go. The other thing to keep in mind is that there are piercers out there who aren't as thorough as they should be in letting their clients know about what after care for their piercing actually entails. They're too busy trying to pocket a quick Jackson that they gloss over the important details.

Ultimately, you, as the consumer, need to be responsible for your product, which means you need to own up to taking care of your belly button piercing. Here are five tips for belly button piercing after care to keep close at hand:
