I’d put the princess of pop at the very top of the list because she has made belly button piercing more popular than before and it is one of her trademarks along with low-rise jeans, lower back tattoos and whale tail (when strings appear above the waistline of low-rise jeans and bear resemblance to a whale tale:-).
Sometimes belly piercing is even called a Britney piercing thanks to the popularity of the singer!
Britney Spears had allegedly got her navel piercing while on the trip to Hawaii with her friends in 2000. However, some time before that in an interview for Teen Magazine Britney had admitted to be against body piercing saying that is was outdated.
Apparently, she came to understand later on that belly button rings weren’t out of fashion – their popularity had just started to grow – and joined other celebrities with belly button rings.
Interestingly – during her pregnancy Britney didn’t keep the belly piercing changing it for a supple PTFE pregnancy belly ring. She got rid of it and then got re-pierced again in November 2005 in New York City at Venus by Maria Tash – an upscale jewelry and piercing studio.
Maria, who had pierced Britney Spears before pierced her again and this time put in her navel a new blue topaz and white gold belly button ring worth more than $200.
I am 15 and I have my belly button twice( top and bottom), lip (left), Madonna, nose (right), Eyebrow ( Right) tongue, traugs (Right) and I have my ears stretched, I think it’s stupid that people do it because of there idols.
hi
I got my belly ring pierced at 11 just because of her… Shes beautiful & she is still my role model even if she does the craziest things a person could do, I will always love britney <3 🙂
I mean i really like Britney I’m one of her biggest fans….
seriously, belly rings named after britney spears??????!!!! you’ve got to be kidding me. belly piercings have certainly been around a hell of a lot longer than she has. why do people give celebrities so much credit?
i actually got my belly pierced when i was 11 or 12 i took it out and got it redone but the reason i got it was because britney had hers done
I just got mine done yesterday, at 21. I’d been wanting one ever since Britney debuted hers in 2000, when I was 11 or 12. Britney has been a huge inspiration in my life, and this little barbell in my belly makes me feel a bit more connected to her, in some weird little way.
Britney Spears for the American Music Awards and she also wore this on the cover of her DVD ‘Live From Las Vegas’.
You can buy the Britney’s belly rings.
