Help answer this question below.

I have had my navel pierced twice, but both times it migrated. Is it likely to happen again? If so, should I try an inverse piercing instead?

    Uhm... no?

    As far as I know piercing migrations can happen for several reasons :

    - Your body rejects the material the jewelry is made of. You could have an allergy to _X_ metal. Or maybe not.

    - Your skin is weak and the metal in the piercing forces changes in your skin movement (using your skin's elacticity as leverage).

    - Tissue warping around the piercing could be a problem too. The needle, or method of piercing, could be irritating your naval area and the migration is a result of the irritation.

    - Just playing with the piercing before it is 100% healed can cause migration, too. This is most often the case of naval migration because little girls can't take their hands off their new tummy bling-bling.

    - Also, improper method can cause migration, and is another main cause of naval migration. If your best friend used a paper clip, or the professional wasn't tedious and careful both times, you could easily get naval piercing migration.

    If you have been cleaning the piercings religiously and watching it daily, not to mention leaving it alone, I'd abstain from getting another one until you've seen a doctor and gotten the old piercing are examined. As long as there isn't infection or tissue damage, you can pierce the same area 1,000 times if you really want to. Its just a question of how wasteful it will become...

    Good luck, but there are too many variable right now for a new piercing to seem advisable.
