When I saw this article on Fashionista, I got legit giddy.  Why?  Because I got my belly button pierced in 2001 and literally JUST took it out for a week…and what happened?  The top hole closed up.  In ONE WEEK.  WTF?

I stand by my decision here, ok?  While I’m definitely not going to get my naval re-pierced (for the THIRD time, mind you), I still think belly button rings need to come back.  Let me be jealous of it.  Admittedly, I have gotten a few eyebrow raises, especially over the past two or three years, but I always took it with stride.  Then BAM- Beyonce rocks a belly ring in her latest H&M ad.  So take that, haters.

The belly button ring is BACK (almost).

Let’s make it happen, guys.
