Soooo, if belly rings aren't really on the forefront of anyone's minds during the winter, then why bother get it pierced? WELL, one of the biggest risks of getting pierced in the summer is the potential exposure to elements like dirt, chlorine, sweat, and sun. Though summer is one of the best opportunities to show off your belly, it also puts a fresh belly ring at a higher risk of infection.

In the winter, your fresh belly piercing can be safely tucked away, shielded from the risks of irritation and infection. Spend those chilly evenings binge-watching your favorite shows, all while your belly button is busy healing and preparing for its summer debut.
