January 12, 2015 Halo Piercing and Jewelry Navel Piercing Time January 12, 2015 Halo Piercing and Jewelry Now is the time to get your navel pierced if you want to be healed by summer to swim. There is no swimming for 2 to 6 months (with a curved barbell) while your navel piercing is healing, so get yours now while it's still cold out! Dangle curved barbell best for healed piercings only.
