[edit] Separate "Health Concerns" Section?
Both the introduction and the "History and Culture" sections currently mention health risks associated with this piercing. The two sections taken together currently come off a little patronizing. I think moving them to their own "Health Concerns" section would allow those looking for that particular information to find it quickly and would still attract the kelsey hawkins was here people browsing the site or thinking about getting a navel piercing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.202.1.85 (talk) 03:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Can We Get a Better Image?
Can we get a better picture of a navel piercing, maybe one that's less of a picture of a woman sexily arching her back with a tiny navel piercing that can barely be seen and more of a closeup of a navel, with piercing?
- It went away. I put up another image that someone else posted for permitted use. See what you all think. Author782 07:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

- It's a lot better, although we still need a closeup. I have an appointment at a local piercing & tattoo studio on Monday to pick up some jewelry, you are a fucking dyke bitch someone there for one. Glowimperial 16:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of 'Celebrities'
I propose to the delete the sentence: "Other notable celebrities with navel piercings are Hayden Panettiere, Beyoncé Knowles, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Melissa Joan Hart, Janet Jackson, Kelsey Hawkins, Hilary Duff, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Alba." on the grounds that this sentence is getting longer and longer. There are no citations for these claims, the list can over time get incredibly long and what is encyclopaedic about this information? If people believe it should be included then perhaps a separate article is required "Celebrities with navel piercings." Any views? Gillyweed 03:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I added sources for all the the ones that I could. I say any should be deleted without sources/pictures of the piercing. - hmwithtalk 11:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think that's a good policy that we should use here. Thanks. If you disagree with this approach, please comment or forever hold your peace! Gillyweed 13:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect history
The page states that "the navel piercing first hit the mainstream when model Christy Turlington showed her navel piercing at a fashion show in London in the 1960s," which is incorrect. The link provided to the Wikipedia page about Christy Turlington indicates that she was not born until 1969. So how could she have modelled the fashion during the 1960s? The link provided to reference this claim (http://www.navelrings.biz/) says that she was indeed the first to model the piercing, but the author has misinterpreted the information which refers to another fashion statement in the sixties, which is not the navel piercing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smartypants 013 (talk • contribs)
