I got my belly button pierced but I noticed something odd – people are saying they did it on purpose since I’m ‘chubby’
A YOUNG woman realized something bizarre about her belly button piercing – and someone said it most likely was done intentionally due to her weight.
The Michigan-based woman, Danny Padilla, revealed on social media what exactly had gone wrong.
In the clip, Padilla brought attention to her navel by lifting up her shift to expose her midriff.
And while it first looked like she had any other regular belly button piercing, she explained: “When you have a belly button piercing BUT…”
After taking a closer look, she revealed that the piercing wasn’t exactly on her belly button – but above it.
After revealing the mishap, many took to the comment section to claim it was done on purpose.
One person claimed: “They do it because they want it to sit a certain way so it fits us, chubby girls, better.”
However, others believed it was done like that due to the structure of her body.

A second wrote: “Please educate yourself on some piercings. You can’t have them all because of genetics.”
“It’s a floating piercing. It’s the way some belly buttons are shaped.
“A regular one won’t sit right and it’ll reject it. Mine is like this too,” said a third.
And those watching were right.
Spencer’s, a North American retailer which specializes in body jewelry and sex toys, revealed that floating navel piercings are a good alternative to regular belly button ones.
“A floating navel piercing is an alternative for people who cannot get a traditional belly piercing due to the anatomy of their bodies,” the retailer explained on their website.
“A floating navel piercing follows the same guidelines as a traditional belly piercing, but the bottom portion is much deeper into the navel, making it nearly invisible to the eye.”
Previously, another woman had shared how she went to a piercing store to get her ears done but ended up in the hospital.
The 22-year-old woman had initially gone into the shop to get her cartilage pierced.
However, things went downhill from there because after her appointment she noticed some swelling.
It turns out the top of her ear was so infected it started to turn red and purple.
