When circular barbells or horseshoe barbells are used in a belly button piercing, they are sometimes referred to as a belly button hoop or a hoop belly button ring. Circular barbells are worn not just as belly button rings, but are worn as eyebrow rings, lip rings, nipple rings, nose septum ring, and in a tragus piercing. There is nothing boring about these circular barbell rings. They come with stars, in luscious pinks, and with animal prints. The exciting horseshoe barbell rings are versatile in placement as well as design. Looking for a lovely round belly ring? Consider an belly button hoop.
Horseshoe barbells get their name from the circular (but not closed circular) shape of the barbell. It is this same circular barbell that gives the belly button version of the horseshoe the name belly button hoop. Just like a hoop skirt, belly button hoops have a stiff circular arch in two directions with an opening at the ends of the circular barbell.
All hoop belly button rings can make for a versatile piercing. Wear them not just as belly button hoop rings, but as a sexy nipple ring. The horseshoe barbell makes for an adorable round belly ring, but they also can be worn as eyebrow rings, tragus rings, and as nose septum rings. Belly button hoops are not just for belly buttons anymore!
