Barbed-wire tattoos [1], claw clips [2], body glitter and rhinestones [3], brown lip liner [4] — the '90s are back in a big way [5]. Of course, the resurgence of everyone's favorite decade wouldn't be complete without the return of belly-button piercings [6]. The body-piercing trend's [7] popularity has certainly wained over the years [8], but its long list of celebrity fans is all the proof you need that it's making a swift comeback.
Unlike a more private body-piercing location — like nipple piercings [9] or genital piercings [10] — navel piercings [11] are easy to show off, which is exactly what many stars do. Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus [12], Megan Thee Stallion, Vanessa Hudgens [13], Britney Spears [14], and Normani are just a few of the artists and actors who have either brought back or kept their belly-button piercings over the years, proudly displaying them in bikinis and crop tops.
According to celebrity piercer Brian Keith Thompson [15], navel piercings are one of the most popular asks right now, with people either trying the trend for the first time or repiercing their closed belly-button hole. One way to update the look? Opt for a dainty ring rather than the charm-laden jewelry we wore in the '90s and early 2000s. "I've been talking clients into putting small, dainty gold hoops in lately," Thompson previously told POPSUGAR. "And a lot of times, they end up loving it."
