A '''true navel piercing''' is a piercing that passes through the belly button itself. [[Navel piercings]], as the word is commonly used, are through the rim of the navel — skin, which is not actually a part of the navel structure, but a part of your stomach's skin. Naturally, an "outie" (to some extent) is required.
Referred to by some people as a "third eye piercing" or occasionally a "Unicorn piercing", the '''vertical bridge''' piercing sits vertically between the eyebrows (imagine an [[Eyebrow Piercing|eyebrow piercing]] right in the middle). It's often done using a [[Curved barbell|curved barbell]], but it really should be done with a [[Surface bar|surface bar]] in order to ensure good healing.


Contrary to urban legend, this will not — except in people with really bad luck (or really bad hygiene) — draw an infection into your liver or peritoneum, and is not generally life-threatening. It is however ''extremely'' rare.

Referred to by some people as a "third eye piercing" or occasionally a "Unicorn piercing", the vertical bridge piercing sits vertically between the eyebrows (imagine an eyebrow piercing right in the middle). It's often done using a curved barbell, but it really should be done with a surface bar in order to ensure good healing.
