Navel piercing

For people who check facts
Navel piercing is a type of body piercing, allowing navel rings and other such decorations to be placed.

It may well be combined with the fashion (more common for women than for men) of wearing clothes that leave the navel bare, so that the piercing decoration is displayed.
