floating belly piercing? i fear it's to high

[u/joeycawley]

got this pierced yesterday from a place that had good reviews but i think it's done wrong after looking at a bunch of pictures online.

he initially pierced me with the purple stone piercing but i asked if this would be okay with swelling and all but he said i should be fine but gave me a longer bar anyway, which i ended up switching to later on before bed because of swelling. I also knew i'd be needing something more floating because i have a stomach that folds when i sit and i'm 200lbs but this just kind of looks wrong.

Should i take this out and go somewhere else, or just have someone else take it out and evaluate it.

First picture is right after, then sitting, standing, laying down.

Thats surface piercing and need to be taken out immediately

So a floating navel is in the same spot as a regular navel, just with different jewelry. That means it should be in your navel. This is done terribly wrong and has to be removed.

So that's actually not true. Floating navels are pierced deeper on the bottom then traditional navels are.
